Glamorous
I finally got the car seat cover I ordered for Riley in the mail the other day! It's so glamorous... and super cute! It's actually really soft and furry, I wish I was small enough to fit in this carseat! Haha

Apparently, she wants out!
I've been home from the hospital for a few hours now, but it seems like Riley doesn't want to wait much longer to come out! From last night, I noticed that her movements had slowed down a lot.. she's usually really active in the middle of the night. I hadn't felt her move for about 6 or 7 hours, so I called the hospital. They told me I should be fine, that all babies had their "quiet time" intervals, and if she hadn't moved by morning to come in.
I went to work as normal this morning, but was experiencing some light cramping. Nothing huge, or painful, just annoying. I didn't think much of it, since it really wasn't hurting, but I still hadn't felt her move all morning. During my lunch break I decided to run to the nearest ER just to be safe that everything was okay. Thank goodness I did, because they admitted me, put me in a bed and hooked me up to some monitors only to find out that I was having contractions! I thought it was really weird, because I guess I had imagined that I would be in some pretty serious pain when I started having contractions.
They monitored me for about 4 hours, only to find that unfortunately, although tiny ones, my contractions were in fact regular. They had hoped they would stop on its own, but after about 5 hours of monitoring they finally gave me a shot to stop my contractions. It worked immediately, and an hour later I was sent home, thankfully.
Although I'm anxious to have her here, I'm so glad that today wasn't the day! It's still a little too early!! Seems like she's just as anxious as I am though.. =)

For You, Ms. Sassy-
I finally ordered Riley's bedding today.. I didn't want anything pink, or too girly- and since her crib will be black, we went with a sassy kind of approach.. black and white!
A Dad on His Own...
So I came across this blog, actually, read about it in a magazine. This blog is an amazing journey of a single father, raising a newborn daughter who lost his wife just a day after giving birth to their baby girl. It's a very sad story, but amazing to hear him blog on.. about the wonderful life of him and his daughter- and late wife. If you start at the bottom of his blog page, and work your way up.. it's a timeline of their birth experience, and then the unthinkable.
Like I said, it's a horrible story to hear and read about, but amazing how he finds the strength through love for his wife and daughter to carry on...it's so inspiring- things aren't always as bad as we may think we have it.

Childbirth 101
Last Tuesday, Joey and I started our Childbirth classes at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo (where we will be delivering). WOW. It's so much more than we expected.. we were definitely the youngest couple in the class, but everyone else was really nice and social. The teacher is great- funny and excited.. definitely kept the dads entertained which was great. It is a 3 session class, each class is 2 1/2 hours long. We already learned about signs of labor, actual labor and saw a video on childbirth in just our first class. We also got to bring pillows, and relax while the daddies gave us massages to help release any tension.. it was amazing!
Haven't really updated any belly pics lately, I need to. Since Joey and his sister have their own photography company we decided to go ahead and do some maternity pics within the next few weeks.. hopefully I'll be posting those soon! 8 weeks and counting..
