Its Happening Right Now!!!!

Those were Karen's words after she started to have some different kind of pains yesterday. Yesterday was a busy day, I had an appointment in downtown Dallas at 1 and had to be back to get Karen by 230 to go to her doctor appointment in Fort Worth. Talk about a stressful drive on the way to to my appointment, all I kept telling myself was "please dont get stuck in traffic, please dont get stuck in traffic". After I was done with my stuff I rushed home to get Karen and of course she was not ready. I had to help her put on her socks, for some reason that is one thing that women have trouble doing once the belly starts getting bigger. When we finally made it to the doctors office I did the same routine that I always do,

*sit in the lobby while karen checks in
*Once She gets called and they check her weight I look the opposite way (not because I want to but because im told to)
*as soon as we walk in the room sit in the chair in the corner
*once the doctor starts talking I sit there and pretend like I know what she is talking about.


Once we finally left the doctors office we headed to Smoothie King to visit Casey
(Karen's brother in law). While we waited for our order Karen started to have a different kind of pain than the so called braxton hicks contractions and she literally thought that she was about to go in labor. We both stayed calm and debated on going back to the doctors office located in the Hospital. After a few calls to the doctors office we finally decided to go home.
It was exciting and scary at the same time, I think I handled the false 'going into labor' deal pretty well. I stayed calm and I was ready to do whatever it took.

Her next appointment is on Christmas Eve. Karen is hoping that they will give her the good news and admit her in that day. I dont think it will happen like that. She has a month to go until her due date...... Then my little princess will be here, Finally.
