Weekend Highlights

We had a wild and crazy weekend. It all started Wednesday with contractions. Ken was on call at the hospital all night, so I was up with contractions every 6 minutes until 2:00 a.m. Finally, I was so exhausted that I went to bed and woke every 30-40 min. They eventually went away, however, Thursday morning they started up again. Finally around 1:00 p.m., we called Colleen and told her that we were heading to hospital in hopes of having a baby. I was bummed when after an hour, they sent me home with Braxton Hicks. Darn Braxton Hicks.

Ken's mom came in Thursday evening and was going to stay to see how the weekend played out. We tried everything to run me into the ground and get this baby out. So here were the highlights of the weekend.

- Friday morning we went to Apple Blossom Orchard to play on the playground, go down on the potato sack slide and to pick apples.

- The rest of the day was spent grocery shopping at Sam's Club and Wal-Mart.

- Nothing happened that night.

- Saturday, we had an early start in the morning. Colleen, Tressa and I went around the neighborhood looking at garage sales. We found some toys for Tressa and some clothes for Katelyn.

- Saturday afternoon, we headed to Morton (the pumpkin capital) and had to look at all their stores for pumpkins. (Colleen is a nut for pumpkins. She was in 7th heaven.) We also found a farm that sold pumpkins, had a corn maze and farm animals to look at.

- Again nothing happened.

- Finally, Sunday afternoon Colleen decided to leave and come back when we were either admitted to the hospital or my water broke. Sorry Colleen for dragging you out here. False alarm. However, we did have an eventful weekend.
