[sorry so long and not-well written...time is tight these days!]
Monday started like any other day. We got up, dressed, fed. Marlee's
first dance class was that morning. We went to Target first to grab a
couple of things, including some supplies for my hospital bag. After
dance and lunch, I put her down for her nap. I had my usual nap time
chat online with Katie. Here's a snippet:

I TOLD you this was it! LOL
Inspiring birth story - thanks for sharing! I am planning a waterbirth and love reading about them!
Congrats Mama!
Sounds like things went really well for both of you. That's wonderful news, congratulations!
I had to laugh when you mentioned being in denial about being in labor. I was in early labor twice with my son and had no clue. My back was hurting and I couldn't get comfortable so at my appointment I told my OB "my back hurts". We timed it and I was 5 minutes apart, back to the hospital to get the IV's to stop the labor. Twice, couldn't get over how it literally felt like just a back ache in the beginning. Connor ended up being transverse breech at delivery and my cervix was too scarred for a vaginal delivery. So I was the lucky winner of a c-section.
**I love the pic of the baby checking the dog out. Too funny.
