Off to the hospital we go!!!

Well, the time has finally arrived and right in the middle of the night. Tessa wakes me up at about 2:00 this morning asking for a towel. Half daised, I robotically got up, grabbed a towel, and by the time I handed it to her, my mind started functioning and I realized what was going on. She said it wasn't to bad and to go back to sleep and when she knew for sure that her water had broken, then we would pack up the car and head out. I think it was around 3:30 that we called the hospital and told them we were on our way. Tessa's water had definitely broke and now we wait.


Here is Tessa waiting for her IV. Doesn't she look so happy?

Here is my bed. Very firm indeed. It extends on the sides so I should have no problem fitting.


This will be our entertainment for our stay; cable and a dvd player with surround sound. Sure wish we could take it home with us.
