3.5 weeks left!

So we only have 3.5 weeks left until Baby Hanlon comes out!!

It has been raining off and on for the past week or so. Which is pretty common here during the winter. But the water isn't going anywhere and the river is starting to fill up. When it rains hard here, the streets are usually the first to flood. Last week they had to close the bases early one day so people could drive home safely because of all the flooding. Tonight we got a phone call from the hospital stating that all full term mothers-to-be are being told to stay over night in the hospital incase anything were to happen. If it floods again they won't be able to send out any emergency vechiles, and most likely our car would not be able to get us there anways. And there is also a chance that they will have to release the levies and dam, which could cause flooding to the housing area like it did back in 2005. All the houses were flooded downstairs and everything was ruined. We have great insurance, so I'm not too worried about that. Everything can be replaced. But I'm worried about Georgia & Smokey. I'm sure everything will be ok.

We thankfully have a doctor's appointment already set up for tomorrow and he hopefully will be able to tell us to stay or not. I really don't want to stay over night in the hospital unless it is truely nessecary. It's not like a nice hotel stay. It's more of a boring night with no take out.

Aaron finally put the carseat in the car tonight, just incase Baby Hanlon decides to come tomorrow or the next day. And I finally packed the hospital bags. It's like a prerun before we actually really have the baby. But who knows, maybe we will go to the doc apt tomorrow and he will tell us that the baby is coming soon! I keep saying that the baby will be here before the 31st.

We will keep everyone updated on what happens in the next few days.
