False Alarm

For the past three nights, I've thought for sure it was time to go to the hospital. I've had fairly painful contractions and a lot of lower back pain. Forty five minutes to an hour into it, everything stops...Grrrrrr!!! Then I'm left wide awake at 3-4am because I thought I was going to the hospital. So I've been coping with a bowl of cereal and whatever I can find on the tv. Luckily I'm usually tired again by 5am, so I get a little sleep before Joel gets up.

My brother called to find out if my niece and nephew can visit us in the hospital because apparently their hospitals have banned anyone under 18. So I called our hospital and it's the same way. I'm so sad that Joel won't be able to join us. And the rule is immediate family members only-so none of our friends can visit either. That's half the fun! But what can we do? I guess it's best to be protected from all of this sickness going around.

Hoping it will happen before Monday!

For some reason your new post didn't show up on my page. It just said shower for Luke. It does that sometimes I have noticed. So I am just now reading this. I didn't realize the whole thing about no visitors. That is a huge bummer. Just have a laptop handy while Luke sleeps I guess. Love and miss you! Glad your belly will be finally free in the A.M. Can't wait to meet Luke!
