I'm off to have a baby

Last night I was having some really painful cramps, so I called my doctor this morning. She moved my appt from 4:00 to 10:45 to check me out. Well, my blood pressure was pretty high (158/94) and I am dilated 4-5 centimeters, so she wants me to head up to the hospital.

I asked if I could go home and get together some stuff before heading up there and she said that was OK. So, I am here waiting for Gary to get home, for my mom to bring Alyssa back (so we can take her to the IL's) and blogging away waiting for everyone else. I still have to get a few things together and we just put the carseats in this afternoon. I am so not ready for this. I guess my kids don't like to wait to be induced. They want to come when they feel ready. I guess that is the way it is supposed to be. I am glad that Morgan waited until the two big events were over before she made her appearance.

Speaking of, Alyssa's 2nd birthday party was a huge success!! We had 17 kids here and who knows how many adults. It was an absolute mad house, but it was a lot of fun. Alyssa had a great time and she got a lot of cool new toys to play with. Hopefully that will keep her pretty occupied when the new baby is here.

Some pictures from her party:

And after everyone left, she asked me to put on Sesame Street and after only 15 minutes, she was passed out...

Well, I am off now. I will post when I get home!
