I am NOT going to labor and delivery again until I am in labor... I said that the last time, and yesterday, I spent 2 hours there... Two hours while my friends were at my house listening to an obnoxious woman talk about jewelry.  I planned this jewelry party months ago, and was so excited to be having it!  My house was clean, I felt pretty good, all was great!  My bf came over early and helped me shop.  I bought alcoholic beverages (I didn't get carded, though:()  Conferences are over, hooray! 
Anyway...
Last night, I'm sitting with my friends and my mom asks if the baby has been moving.  I told her not really, but figure its b/c I've been on the go constantly.  I start poking at my belly.  Nothing.  I went to the bathroom.  Nothing.  I went into the other room and laid on the floor.  Nothing.  I drank an entire Pepsi.   Nothing.  I am starting to get really scared.  I called the doctor's office and the midwife calls me back within minutes.  Labor and delivery, she says.  My mom asks if I want her to take me and I tell her I don't really want to go alone.  She gets the car and I loose it.  My bf was wonderful and told me to just pray, and that she would pray.  My mom and I drove all the way to the hospital holding hands.  I kept saying "she has to be okay"!  My heart was pounding and I was shaking. 
We finally get to the hospital and they wisk me right into a room.  They still make me pee in a cup and put on a gown.  I want to scream and yell and tell them to just hook me up to a monitor NOW.  Finally, they do, and I hear the most beautiful sound... the horse galloping sound of Baby's heart.  I start to cry again, just out of relief. 
All is well, baby is doing great, and Idon't think she has STOPPED moving today!!  :) 
My mom assures me that this is just her way of preparing us for all the worrying we will do throughout her lifetime. 
Life is precious... I can't believe how much I love this baby girl already!!
