So Far So Good

It's 8:15 a.m. here. We still have electricity.

I started having contractions again last night, but we were able to stop them with the medicine and hot bath ritual. I hate the way I feel after taking benedryl, but it's a simple way to tell if the labor is false labor.

At one point, our parish was under a tornado warning (because of a tornado in another part of the parish) and two people called at the same moment to check on us.

The hurricane has, in the past couple of hours, turned away from us a bit and weakeded in strength. We are still getting hit and most of the hit is from the bad side of the hurricane, but it's looking less dismal than before.

Ander co-slept with us last night. He kicked me in the face. Sleeping with Ander is no longer a sweet and cuddly treat. Next time, I think I'll need to wear football gear to bed, just to protect myself.

I'll update the blog as I can (meaning if there is electricity).

Etcetera.

Glad to hear you are all OK and still have electricity for the time being.

How is everyone?

From talking to my BF and my mom today (both live w/in 30-45 min of her), it sounds like they are expecting the power to be out anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on how rural the area and how badly the power lines are tangled/wrapped around things. So it may be a while before we get an update.

I have been thinking about you guys. Keep safe...

OK, it's been three days now. You need to post a hi so we can stop worrying.
