Getting ready for the kiddo

I had an intersting talk with Hope this morning. Her back was really bothering her and the third time the pain washed over her, she realized she was having a contraction in her back. Four in an hour (we are looking for five). We exchanged a few excited phone calls and text messages and then everything subsided.

But what a wave of excitement. I was trembling, there were tears brimming and I had a hard time putting words together without choking up. So excited, so happy and oh so scared.

We need to pack a bag tonight....
