We had a false alarm on Sunday, I had contractions coming on top of one another. I went in to town to do some shopping and get my toes done. While I was getting my feet done I had several irregular but strong contractions. On the drive home they were still coming, I was almost in tears. I was driving so I couldn't really time them, I was more concerned with getting home before I could no longer drive due to the pain. I got home and they continued, about 2-3 minutes apart and strong lasting about a minute each. I installed the car seat and finished packing my bag, Doc put TC to bed and we went to the hospital. I would have stuck it out at home but we live a hour from the hospital, I am GBS+ so I need a short at least 4 hours before I deliver and TC's delivery was really fast. If I was in labor I really wanted to be at the hospital.
I got there, they checked me and I was just where I was on Friday at my appointment. I walked for an hour and made no change so we went home. I really thought that was it, it hurt more than my contractions that made me go to the hospital with TC. But here I am, still pregnant so obviously it was nothing.
My emotions are way out of control, I could cry over nothing these days. I have an unhealthy love of brown sugar, I grab a pinch of it every time I go into the kitchen. I even made a coffee cake from scratch this morning because I wanted the crumbly brown sugar bits. Picking up TC and playing with her is getting harder and harder, luckily Doc has been pulled from all drop zone coverages until Christmas break. He was nervous because many are about 2 hours away and he would have to wait for his replacement to get out there before he could even come back - that's 4 hours! He's home more which is nice because then it's not just me and his dad and TC.
I know I have time, I am just hoping she is all cooked in there and decides to come out...today. My mom called and was upset that I wont be updating when I'm in labor - I told her she can thank her 3rd born for that one. She is bothering me to just tell her, I can't do that - everyone will know once she's here. If I tell anyone in the family (mine or Doc's) I know I will be wondering if they are spreading the word.
That's pretty much it. I'm spent. TC is having a day today and the pup decided to pee on her bath toys marking in the house for the first time ever. If for no other reason I want to have the baby so I can have a nice stiff (well not really - that would knock me on my ass) drink.

Awe, it's almost time!!! I still have 2.5 months to go but I know what you mean about your husband being gone during this time; my husband has field training in Yakima, WA RIGHT before we're expecting baby girl. I'm really hoping they let him stay home because I know NO ONE here and might not have a ride to the hospital let alone any support delivering our first child. My husband is saying it could take him up to 6 hours to get home from there, by the time he contacts his 1st. Sgt and gets a driver to take him. Kinda nervous, lol! Good luck and healthy delivery! Can't wait to see a picure of the little one:)
I am so excited for you! I will be stalking you until I see pictures and hear all is well =]
