Leap Day

I have been terrified (to put it lightly) of this day coming. I did NOT want my little boy born on a day that really doesn't exist, in my opinion. It's just a weird day to me. I want Caleb to have a normal birthday that occurs every year. I have been stressing myself out so much in fact, that last night I was having a TON of braxton hicks contractions (at least I think that's what they were). It was freaking me out so much that I couldn't even talk to Matt, and I didn't want him talking to me! ha! They weren't painful though, thank goodness.

Last night I woke up every hour, on the hour. 11:45, 12:45, 1:45....you get the point. By 5:45am, I just laid in bed wide awake waiting for my alarm to go off at 6. I did my morning routine, and was off to work. I had set goals for myself: 1. Make it to noon. If I went into labor at noon, chances are that he would be born around midnight or later (if I had a SHORT labor) and 2. Make it to 2pm, chances are very slim he would come today!

Well I made it past BOTH goals! So Caleb will be a MARCH baby!!! God answered all of my silly prayers!

To end this silly post (except at the height of all the stress it didn't feel so silly to me) here is a silly picture of me when I was little. This is pretty much how i've been feeling all week. haha!
