What a crazy couple of days

Saturday, May 21: Sever weather was the main theme of the day.  This was the day of the tornadoes.  There were tornadoes spotted in Topeka then another line came through the Emporia area destroying the town of Reading.  We were in our basement for 2 and 1/2 hours and 1 and 1/2 of them were spent with the power out.  Luckily we had our flashlights and weather radio.  The radio informed us that there were funnel clouds spotted 4 miles away from our house.  So scary for sure!  Our power did not come back on till 7:00am Sunday morning.  At our house we had dime size hail and with all the rain the ditch in front of our house was flooded into the highway to the yellow line.  During all the excitement I thought my water had broke.  When the storms left we made the trip to Emporia through rain and possible tornadoes around the area.  Contractions started to get stronger as we went.  Made it to the hospital and my water had not broke.... just got the pee scared out of me :)  It was good we went in to get it checked though. 

Tuesday, May 24: More sever weather was in the area and my contractions were getting stronger and were only 6 minutes apart.  We made the choice to go ahead and head to Emporia just in case because there was a bad line of storms coming through with possible large hail and tornadoes.  We made it to the hospital and waited in the waiting room for 2 hours, our choice, to see if the contractions got stronger..... they did!  We were so excited!  We got checked in and we got hooked up showing that the contractions were strong and 6 to 5 minutes apart.  However, they were not making any movement in the south.  We walked for an hour... still no movement in the south.  So we went home. 

Wednesday, May 25: Doctors apt.  Little girl is doing very well and we found out that we have some complications that are keeping her from coming out on her own.  So we will be induced on Friday.  We are super excited to meet her and will be praying everything goes well!
