On Sunday we were profoundly blessed by our friends and family as we had Dexter's Baby Shower. What a blessing to have those who love you surround you with laughs, support and of course gifts! We had a ton of fun and Ryan even brought Merek by after her nap and she had enormous amounts of fun opening all of Dexter's presents.We are so incredibly grateful for the family that has done nothing but support us and love us. And we are anxious to share this time with all of them.
Then to add to the fun, last night we had a bit of a false labor alarm. As I diligently timed our contraction which were nearing five minutes apart and becoming frustratingly uncomfortable Ryan ran about like a chicken with his head cut off frantically packing a hospital bag. In-between asking me which socks he should pack and whether I wanted a night gown or t shirt and which flip flops to take he was trying to console me in my discomfort. He became increasingly more anxious as I became outrageously tired. after drinking an insane amount of water, taking a hot bath, and contorting to several different sleeping positions we were finally able to slow the contractions so I could get some sleep. That was the best night of sleep I have had in weeks but unfortunately for Ryan all of the excitement kept him wide awake. Needless to say Dexter did not make his grand arrival but we anxiously await his coming!
