Happy 4th of July from LKN

I hope everyone has had a fabulous 4th of July weekend!  Although mine started off with a little scare on Friday…

everything turned out ok! We spent 3 hours in the hospital Friday afternoon because I thought my water was leaking.  Good news= it wasn’t! But I was having mini-contractions.  After monitoring them for a while and giving my some IV fluids, nothing changed, so they decided just to send me home, mini contractions and all.

They are so small that I can’t even feel them, and the doctor didn’t seem concerned, so I guess it just begins our final countdown until Baby D’s arrival.  They monitored Baby D though and say that I have a very happy, healthy and active baby. Maybe they were buttering me up (it worked! ;) ) because they said Baby D seemed more like a 40 week baby instead of a 30 week.  I was a proud mom-to-be!

In other fun news, we attended a huge 4th of July event at our local YMCA and got to see a baby tiger, a camel, snack, kangaroo and lots of other fun stuff, too before heading out onto the lake to watch fireworks.

This morning started off with a fabulous breakfast treat of Banana Walnut pancakes, a trip to Lowe’s and an afternoon full of projects :)

Wow. I’m so glad you are okay! Can’t wait to read your organization post – those things also kick me in the butt and I go on an organizational spree around my own place.

Today I’m heading to Napa for the day and then watching fireworks tonight as I stuff my face with ice cream – so the best is yet to come this weekend :)

First time commenter…long time reader, my weekend was pretty tame, one of the highlights was sitting on a patio with one of my best girl friends enjoying a glass of vino blanco!

Brittany July 5, 2011 at 8:14 am

Glad you commented- I love hearing from readers!

A glass on vino blanco sounds FAB! Jealous… :)

I am so, so glad you and baby are OK! Pregnancy is so scary. Though I’m not sure we’ll feel any less scared of everything once they’re out :)

I’m glad everything turned out ok!

Most fun thing I did: go rock climbing at the river, and jump off an old railroad bridge into the river! I was scared, but it was fun!
