The contractions have slowed a bit, but are beginning to get a little more intense. We had a quick trip to the hospital this morning because the doctor wanted to check that the baby was it the correct position. Last night, the labor nurse thought that the baby was possibly transverse. (Sideways)
The good news is that the baby IS in the RIGHT position! They did a sonogram to confirm that was the case. He is heads down. He is large, so what they were feeling side to side was his rear end and back.
The doctor thinks that the previous contractions were probably false labor. The contractions hurt pretty bad now, so if they get more intense like they say, Christie is in for quite a trip.
So instead of walking, today we are going to try to get some rest. Not much sleep was had last night and we would like to get a little more energy for when the real labor starts. (which will hopefully be soon!)
By the way - the Nurses at the Birthing Inn are just great. The one today even gave Christie a hug when she left. Visit the Birthing Inn with the link below.

So please do not ask Christie or I when we are going to have this baby. We do not know. We wish we did. It will happen when it happens.
Now, back to sleep. (we hope)
