We're leaving on a jet plane....

I went to the doctor today and she said that I was cleared to fly home for the holidays. It has been kind of a weird couple of weeks. We weren't sure if we were going to be able to go home and I am just excited that the time is here and that we can definitely make plans for the time that we are in STL and Houston.

Decoorating the Chirstmas Tree and other Random November Pictures

It is freezing here in the mid-Michigan and as a result we have decided to dress Beckett as if we were in Russia. Okay, not really, it is just a different hat.
The day after Thanksgiving we went out shopping and happened to fall across this duo of hats.

Decorating the Christmas Tree and Beckett. When Scott and I first got married we got a hand me down 3" Christmas Tree from my mom. Well we didn't have any decorations, or money to spend on ornaments and so forth so I got a roll of fiber glass casting tape from work and made little stars. They are our favorite ornaments. I look at all of the beautiful ornate Christmas trees and I think they are beautiful but I just don't think that it would be the same if we didn't have our ornaments on the tree. I love to reminisce about where and when we obtained all of our ornaments. There is a story behind most/all of them. I love Christmas, and even though we will only be able to enjoy our tree for a couple of weeks I am glad that it is up. Oh, did you notice anything in the last 3 pictures?

LABOR???

I just thought this was a funny cartoon. Now on to the real reason of this post. Black Friday brought more than good deals my way. Saturday night, after walking around all day Friday & Saturday, I started to cramp ... REALLY BAD. I couldn't sit it hurt so bad. I thought maybe I had just been TOO active and this was my body's way of protesting. Well, on Sunday I was still cramping and I was having contractions that I could feel in my back. I was convinced that my body was "preparing" for child birth and that I would go into labor in the next week if not sooner. I went into the doctor Monday and sure enough I am dialated.. They ordered an ultrasound and a preterm labor test to check the likelihood of me going into labor in the next 2 weeks. I get the results back tomorrow. I think that I was just freaked out about dialating and then started to over analyze every cramp, contraction....you name it. I have been looking into the whole dialating thing and there are a ton of women who are dialated for weeks if not months. So long story short. I may not really be going into labor but I am having a TON of contractions and they seem pretty strong. HMPH! I just wish I knew exactly when this baby was going to come so that I could relax.
