False Alarm

"Move along folks, nothing to see here. Move along."

3:00 a.m. last night brought some excitement, but the Dr. appt at 11:00 confirmed that we weren't quite there yet. It feels like a tomorrow or a Thursday thing, but if there's no movement by Sunday we're going to start the runners with a little hit and run action and maybe induce things Monday. It's kind of tough for first time parents to figure out when to go in, when not to, what this means, is it good or bad? Katie listed off several symptoms and I consulted the handout they gave us way back when. Check, check and check. They were all good things, but things that could mean little one is coming in a couple hours or a couple weeks. It's nice that they could narrow it down like that.

After a couple hours of repositioning, an episode of COPS and the last half of 'Bad News Bears' we kind of went to sleep. I'm guessing the 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night are a prelude of things to come..........??

**OLD WIVES TALE ALERT**!!! Weather fronts and full moons can also bring on labor. The wind is howling, temp is dropping and the rain is falling!! I'm hoping this one pans out

Softball started last night as well and I found that I play much better when I don't worry about the game and just sit there and listen for my phone to ring. Starion Financial started with a fizzle, losing a pair and looking like a team that hadn't touched a ball or bat in 8 months.

On a good note, I proved that I'm still the best leadoff hitter in the Bismarck Monday night Flickertail league over the age of 35 that plays 2nd base. Pretty elite company there. I also decided to change my swing this year and start swinging for the fences more, which I'm finding limited success with. A 6 for 8 night or whatever it was isn't bad, but I didn't lose any balls on the other side of the fence either.

Greg, I'm going to steal a Club Trillion thing here to tally the softball season for me:

Double Plays Started: 2
Home Runs: 0
Warning Track Fly Balls: 2

More softball and baby news as it becomes available......
