Five years ago today, I woke up and thought I might be feeling tightening in my large belly...but I have done this three times before and thought, no it doesn't hurt THAT bad! Took the kids to school and still felt it, came home and cleaned... just in case, and STILL felt it. Headed to Target to get last minute stuff and to have everything ready for Nana and Papa...the due date was just 4 short days away! On my way to Target, still tightening! I pondered which Target to go to, what would be the quickest route IF I should need to leave! But again, no I have done this 3 times before and this didn't hurt bad enough... did it???? In the pick up line, I avoided eye contact... didn't want anyone to ask "is it time yet?" I tried to make a normal afternoon for the kids, homework, baths, even made homemade ice cream... so SURELY I couldn't be in labor... but still tighter and tighter and consistent and timely, hum!!! Put the kids to sleep and walked around A LOT!!!! I had told Flynn nothing at this point, until he got home....we called his parents and had them come over (kids are asleep and oblivious at this point!) I am just sure that it can't be real and I will be back home in my bed by midnight....not so! Yaya meets us at the hospital, and she and Flynn get me through the painful contractions with no medicine through the night and early the next morning...sweet little #4 arrives!
