Close...

Hospital...check.

Contractions...check.

But no baby yet!  I was feeling major pressure on Friday afternoon and my doctor's office sent me into the hospital because of my body teetering at a point where the baby could come very quickly if my water breaks (I have a feeling I might have a record long delivery with everyone telling me how quickly things are going to go).  Turns out everything was fine, the baby had just dropped a little and was causing me to feel the pressure and develop a very funny walk.  I am having contractions but they are spaced 8-10 minutes apart (I still can't feel a thing besides tightening of my stomach) so I was sent home.

It worked out just fine because we still were able to celebrate my mom's birthday that night.  I have a feeling it was going to be celebrated either way because Layla was not going to miss out on the cupcakes we bought for the occasion :)



We also got to spend some final time hanging together as a family of three and enjoying the beautiful weather that was supposed to be rainy and stormy.





Layla also got to partake in a new favorite hobby...making pine cone bird feeders. 



We find the pine cones on our walks and then she likes to spread peanut butter and sprinkle bird seed on them for the birdies. 



In reality, the squirrels go crazy for these bird feeders but Layla is determined to feed the mama robin that has a nest in our front yard.



So no baby yet....but soon.
