Everyone gets one....

So we had our first false alarm, we were out for a walk in marley park in south west dublin, very pretty and kate started getting contractions. Not very powerful but we were debating whether or not we would go in to the hospital. On the way home she felt something wet and we decided to go in. When we arrived, a woman was in labor coming in right in front of us. We almost turned around given it was pretty obvious kate was not in labor but figured we'd stick it out and get everything checked out. Everything was fine, so after 2 hours of monitoring we headed home. On the way out kate got her first taste of what labor looks like. Just as we were leaving the monitoring room, we had to hug the walls as a porter came rushing down the hallway pushing a woman in a wheelchair. She was facing backwards in the chair on her knees on the seat, saying "oh god...oh god...OH GOD!" as she went by us. I think Kate is in the zone. Yesterday we had a meeting with the OB, he said kate would go any day now, after which he said the baby was well grown and gave me a big pat on the back and smile...kinda creepy.
