Night in L&D, Ultimately VERY Good News.

Started having some contractions (which really changed my attitude about being "so ready" to have this baby) and decreased movement.  It turned out not to be pre-term labor and they did a BPP this morning and everything with our little boy is perfect, perfect, perfect!  They give 30 minutes for the baby to do everything they need him to do, my boy hit every goal in less than 10 minutes  SO the tech spent some time just letting me watch him and getting some really nice profile pics for me to take home  

They estimate that he is 4 pounds 11 oz with "a big head" (oh joy)

I was planning on packing my hospital bag at 36 weeks, I think I'll do it now.  As I was getting ready to run out the door last night, I took a minute to make sure I grabbed the "really important" things to take with me. Here's what I packed:

1) My Burt's Bees lip balm 

2) a roll of wild cherry Life Savers

I need to do better next time

We've spent a few long nights in the ER with LO and the most important thing for a trip to the hospital is food

Oh, I was very happy with my packing as far as it went  I would just be more comfortable with a few additional things
