Last week Mel & I got together with Zachary & Charley to have lunch and a playdate. We took this little picture on my phone when Kevin was home for lunch. Not knowing that it would be our last preggo picture together. Mel has been in pre-term labor for the past 6 weeks. Every night I sleep with my phone and wait for her calls or text.
With that being said, that Friday night when I spoke to Mel before we went to bed she said that nothing was going on with the baby and that she was done anticipating his/her arrival. She was just going to be induced on Monday (the 29th) and that was it. After talking with her I put my phone on the charger in the kitchen and turned it to silent. BIG MISTAKE. Kev & I went to bed. I can honestly say it was the BEST sleep I have had this entire pregancy. I was dead to the world. So much so that when Kevin left for KC and Z woke up neither one of them could get me awake. I felt like I had been drugged. When I finally got out of bed my cell phone was vibrating on the counter. It was Mel. I almost didn't answer it because I needed some coffee but I answered. She said, "HELLO? Did you take a Benedryl last night or what?" "I had the baby last night". I thought she was joking then I looked down at my phone and I had over 17 missed texted messages and over 10 missed calls. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I missed it. I was so mad at myself.
Later that afternoon, my mom, Zachary, and I went up to the hospital to see Mel's baby GIRL! That's right she has two girls and I will have two boys. Chandler Mae was here and she is so beautiful! Zachary just loved her.....I think he loved her so much because it wasn't his sibling :)
