Surprise!!!

I'll keep it short!

This morning at 5:00 am I woke up with a cramp in my belly. Went to the bathroom, lost my mucus plug, my water broke at 8:00 (as Ben was walking out the door for work, I said, it feels like I just peed my pants, I wonder if my water broke), called the hospital and they want me to come in for observation, my mom casted my BIG belly at 9:00 and now its 9:40 and we are finishing up a few things here and then heading to the hospital to have our baby! Oh yes, and all the while contracting every 10 minutes!
Pain Level: Hurts a little but VERY Tolerable
We would definitely appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers today!!!

Here are a few pics from this morning!

Stay tuned for the BIG news!
40 weeks and 2 days! Taken this morning!

I can't wait to meet Isabella! Congrats again, we are all so excited for you. Jennifer was sure you were having a boy she even dreamt about it last night, she thought she was having a girl so maybe hers will be a boy. I passed on all the advice you gave. Give a big hug to your mom and ben and little Isabella for me.
