Baby Shower

Earlier this month Angel and Jess threw us a baby shower. It was so much fun! One of the games that they planned was for Ryan to answer some questions and then we had to guess what his answers were. Totally expecting him to be his funny self, I thought I was just going to laugh at the answers he gave. But to my surprise, some of his answers had me in tears. Below are some of my favorites!

Q. If you could tell the baby anything right now what would you say?

A. I love you more than I can understand. And please don't hurt your mom.

Q. Finish this sentence: "I hope the baby has Kerrie's"

A. I hope the baby has Kerrie's eyes, ears, nose, smile, compassion, sense of humor, athleticism...I think it would probably be easier to say everything...so Everything.

Q. What was your reaction when you found out it was a girl?

A. I was anticipating a boy (I think we both were). But I couldn't be more excited. Besides Kerrie she's already the greatest joy of my life.

False Labor

Well we have officially had our first false labor last night. I was at Bethel for class and started having some painful contractions. It got to the point where I left early and called Ryan to let him know "this might be it". The contractions lasted for 45 minutes (the whole way home) and they were about 40 seconds each, so I was pretty sure we were going to the hospital. My Dr. told me that a shower will make false contractions stop and real ones get more intense, so I took a shower as soon as I got home. To our disappointment, the contractions stopped :( Maybe 1/21/10 will be her birthday?!
