St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in the Murray house, but for whatever reason, Matt and I decided to stay home for St. Patty's Day 2009! It was a Tuesday, and I was off work all day. I spent the day cleaning and even got to organize the baby's room a little. That night, we decided to take some baby stuff out of the boxes and put things together (we'd been putting it off in case R changed her mind...I couldn't thnk of looking at everything put together without a baby). We got the stroller put together, the base and carseat all arranged, and then Matt decided to go to bed.
Around 9p.m., R called my cell! I KNEW something was up! She and I usually just text! I answered and said "What's wrong???" She told me she was at the hospital because she'd been having contractions, but they hadput her on meds to make it stop. She was just 32 weeks so she said, don't worry, I will call you if you need to drive up! YEah right!! This lady was not waiting!!!!
I immediately ran upstairs, threw the bedroom door open, and woke Matt! I said, "Get packed, R is in labor, and we are going!!!"
I threw what little baby stuff I had in a suitcase (my baby shower was scheduled for a few weeks later and we didn't have a TON of stuff for newborns). I packed myself some shorts, shirts, and a swimsuit...seriously??? I mean who goes to have a baby and packs a swimsuit??? I guess I thought I would swim at the hotel, I'm insane!!! LOL I loaded the car while Matt wondered if we should wait. I decided we needed to leave and if we had to, we could turn around in Indy if it was truely a false alarm. On the way out to the garage, R called and said they couldn't stop the contractions and to head up...little did she know, we were going to anyway!
