Contractions!

I had contractions last night for about 2 hours. Obviously false labor but so odd because the night before I didn't feel baby girl at all and worried. So, yesterday I went in to have her monitored to make sure everything was alright. As soon as the put the monitor on my belly she was rolling around all over the place! Then I had a major contraction. I didn't have any inkling of labor pains when I was carrying Merrik and I went all the way to 40 weeks.
She is probably getting so big she can't move around as much in there.

Our waterboy

Merrik has been in swimming lessons since he was 7 months old and now nearly 3, he can swim all the way across the pool by himself (if he feels like it!). He swims a ways then rolls over, then swims more and rolls over until he reaches the other side. He loves the water but doesn't always love being told what to do in the water. Play time is his favorite but he is an awesome swimmer when he puts his mind to it.
