This little cutie is keeping all of us on our toes and showing Ben and Ryan how crazy and unpredictable parenthood can be. 
We are 35 weeks and I’ve been contracting and am dilated to 3. I dilated early with all my pregnancies (I walked around dilated to 3 for a month with my oldest), but I don’t typically have lots of consistent contractions like this. Because of the frequency of contractions, my OB suggested that Ben and Ryan consider moving up their arrival date, just to be on the safe side.
Not wanting to risk the possibility of missing the birth, the guys changed their flights to get here as soon as possible. As they were on their way here the drama intensified! My contractions increased and after several hours of contracting every 1-2 minutes, my OB had me go to the hospital. So as the guys were frantically racing across the globe, we were here thinking that the baby wasn’t gonna wait for them. And on the drive to the hospital I was feeling so much pressure, I was convinced this little guy was gonna be born in the car!!! THANKFULLY, once at the hospital my contractions began to slow down and I was still only dilated to 3. After a few hours of monitoring I was able to go home. I think that was probably the most tense flight of Ben and Ryan’s life!
They’re here now with us in Minnesota and we are all so relieved that their sweet Aussie Baby decided to wait for them!!!
Baby watch has officially begun! Though we’re hoping this baby keeps cooking for a bit longer.
