ok… so contractions started around 10pm or so… and they are minor and not that close together, but they are happening.
Caroline has arrived, and everything checks out fine. Caroline got a quick belly cast in before the contractions started, which rules. Dylan and I ran to the store to get some random things that we didn’t have and by the time we got back, the contractions had begun and the belly cast was almost done. Productive!
Right now, we are all trying to get some rest before the real action starts. We got all our stuff together and ready to rock, I just need to fill up the pool. Rebecca is fed, hydrated, and we are about to go to sleep for as long as we can. Caroline is in the basement and Gail is on the couch in the family room.
It is such a different experience than Mason, where we were all more surprised and it was more a whirlwind. Obviously today was somewhat crazy, but in a much more controlled manner. So time for some potential sleep while the minor contractions happen, hopefully it will make the big contractions all that much easier.
