Panic at the Disco!

My wife didn’t feel the baby move all night long, so this morning, she got panicked that something was wrong.  After calling the doctor, they encouraged us to head to labor and delivery to get him checked out.  We spent 6 hours at the hospital.  They were able to consistently hear a heartbeat and my wife was able to feel him moving finally.  They said he way laying in a horizontal position at the bottom of her belly, so maybe he was just wedged in there and COULDN’T move!

It was the worst feeling to think that after all this time, when we were so close to the end, that something might have gone wrong.  Thank God both of them are okay.

On a side note, it did serve two other purposes.  We had a dry run of what it’ll be like on “the day.”  And it made us realize that we are not ready yet.  I don’t have the car seat in or the “bag” packed. But that’s going to change now!

I realized that I’m going to be the exact father the nurse said don’t be!  The father that is putting in the car seat in the parking lot while his wife is giving birth in the hospital.

UPDATE:  While waiting for her to wrap up a few quick things at work, I decided now was as good a time as any to get the car seat installed.  It still needs to be inspected, but at least it's in now!
