abc's



aviyah's been working on her abc's lately. when we were in florida, she just busted out and started singing them. (we didn't even know she was learning them!) the letters aren't super sharp, but she definitely knows what's up. look out for the coda. : )

(pre) labor

samantha is having contractions. they started earlier this afternoon. we are going to the hospital, now.

the contractions may be early labor because they have not become regular times. they are coming regularly, and that is new for samantha. she actually never went into labor with aviyah because she was late and also was induced. still, prelabor can go on for hours, days, or weeks. (not fun, i imagine.)

we're going to the hospital for the doctor to do an exam. she wants to know if samantha's dilating. if she's dilating, she doesn't want to take the chance, and samantha will (b"h) deliver tonight. if she's not dilated, the doctor is going to give her some medicine to try to slow down the contraction and give her more time.

we'll see.

: )


UPDATE: false alarm! we're all back home and hungry! the doctor gave samantha some medicine to smooth the contractions, and they'll check back in tomorrow. the doctor hopes she can give the baby one more week to try to turn around in the belly. b'sha'ah tovah.
