Well, we had our first false alarm yesterday. Holly had her weekly checkup with the doctor, and the doctor must've pushed a button because Baby wanted out. Holly started having some contractions after the appointment and, later that afternoon, had some subtle hints that her water had broken. Thankfully, the doctor was still at her office that evening, so I got Holly back to see her (and save us a trip to the hospital). Turns out her water was still intact, and the contractions have lessened. So, this was a good rehearsal for us--the car is loaded with the essentials, we have extra batteries for our cameras, etc.

Meanwhile, the kid is 36 weeks along, and he's now set a LOT lower in the womb. He's not trying to kick Holly's ribs out now. The doctor believes he'll be arriving before the end of the month...not mid-November. Holly is full-term in a week, so we're pushing to get to 37 weeks. Any time thereafter is great for us. My mom is ready to pack up once we go home after the birth and help us with her first grandkid. :) We're pretty much ready to go!
