A Quick Trip to Labor and Delivery
Everything is fine- no new babies in this family yet! However, Jon and I did make a quick trip up to labor and delivery because I had some bleeding, which is a scary thing anytime during a pregnancy especially in the third trimester. I put on a lovely hospital gown, and laid there with a heart rate monitor on for the baby and a contraction monitor on for myself. Everything checked out as normal. The heart rate sounds good, and I was not having any contractions. After a quick check from the doctor, the report is that the baby is not on the way! What a relief and a good feeling to be in and out of the hospital within two hours. Also, I now have an excuse to "take it easy". Jon is convinced that I spent too much time yesterday cleaning house, so I will comply with his wishes and let him do it! Luckily, I will have Jon home this week followed by week long visits from my mom and Jon's dad and Rhonda. I am going to be a wreck when all of my help leaves me, and I have to take care of Caleb all alone again- 34 weeks pregnant at that point! For now I willjust enjoy the next three weeks! We are so thankful that we are not about to have a baby in the NICU today. Stay put little girl!

Sounds very familiar... I am glad everything is okay! These babies need to behave!!
Well, that was your one scare for this pregnancy...now you can sit back and enjoy a full-term pregnancy! Glad everything was okay!
Pamper yourself,... and let everyone else pamper you too!
Never have heard what this babies name will be! Are you keeping that a secret?
Kelly, if you need anything after your help leaves, please let me know. We would love for Caleb to come play sometime if you need a break. Also, talk to MDO about the possibility of adding Tuesdays for him. There might be way if you need the days of rest. We're glad to hear that everything is okay with this little girl. We will be praying for you and her.
These Capron babies always keep things exciting! I am so glad everything is fine.
What a scary title, the backpack is definitely to small for Caleb but you can use it when the new baby comes, hopefully in 3 months. The luminarias (sorry if I mis-spelled) look great, although the help looks like he was taking his sweet time filling up the bags, I hope you weren't paying by the minute. Love to you all.
Kelly, my daily and nightly prayer is for God to protect Katie and you, as well as the two unborn grandchildren, in this last 6-8 weeks and give them safe delivery into their world. So glad God worked it out for help to be there for the next 3 weeks, please take it easy. We love you all. Grammy
Glad you are doing fine - hope that the final weeks are restful and healthy. take care!
