Fooled Ya!!

Okay, I have more posts I need to do before this one, but I don't want to forget anything. I don't feel like I'm doing as good writing down things with this pregnancy as I did with Kylee. Anyway, here we go.

Tuesday morning at 4:30 I woke up with a super sore back and contractions starting. Of course Ben and I decided to watch 2 movies before going to bed so I had gotten 2 1/2 hours of sleep. I went in the other room to watch a movie and start timing them. For over an hour and a half they were coming 5 minutes apart. I was super excited and went to wake up Ben. We took our time having breakfast and getting things thrown together to go to the hospital. I still had some big things to do on my list before I felt ready and since I wasn't expecting to be in labor I was kind of panicked. We got Kylee up to my parents' and headed to the hospital. I swear right as we got all checked in and in the room, the contractions slowed way down and were not as strong. The nurse checked me and said I was at 2 1/2 and 80%. They monitored Colton for 20 minutes and said he looked good. She told me to get up and walk around to see if anything changed and she'd be back in 40 minutes. I walked around that room for the whole 40 minutes trying to get them to start up again. She came to check me and nothing had changed. BUMMER!! I got all changed and we headed back home. It was so weird because that morning I was definitely in labor, oh well what do ya do. My doctor scheduled to induce me Tuesday the 9th, but said she didn't think I would make it that long. I've got my fingers crossed contractions will start up again tonight and it'll be the real deal this time. We'll see!!!

Some little tidbits I don't want to forget and haven't written down yet:

• It's crazy how each pregnancy is different. Kylee was most active around 11:00 at night and moved here and there during the day. Colton is a little ninja!! He seems to be constantly moving, but more so at night like Ky. He's definitely getting a workout in there though!
• Sleeping is noticeably more difficult this time around. He's settled on my sciatic nerve most nights and I usually end up falling asleep sitting up because it's most comfortable.
• It is SO HOT being pregnant in the summer!! Ky was born in January so this is night and day different. Note to self, no more summer babies!!
• I love being pregnant this time just as much as I did with Kylee. I really have been super comfortable and am only ready to be done because I want my little guy here so bad!

Tuesday morning I heard Kylee wake up and let her sit and talk for a minute before going in to get her. I opened the door and she was just sitting on her bed smiling at me. I told her hi and asked if she slept good. She said yep and then said, "There was a boy on my chair" pointing to the rocking chair in the corner. I immediately got the chills and said, "there was a boy on your chair?" She said yes and when I asked her who he was she told me, "Daddy's boy. Like him." It took me a minute to think of what to say next because it totally took me by surprise. That morning was when I was having contractions and starting to go into labor so it very easily could have been Colton. It also could have been Ben's brother Lance who died just after birth when Ben was a year old. Tuesday was his birthday. Either way, my little princess had someone very special with her and it's amazing how children are so close to heaven. I see it every day when I am with her.
