The end is near....

So I have 4 weeks left till my due date will I actually make it? Only one person knows and she isn't saying :) But there has been some progress - I lost my plug Wednesday morning about 4 am and was having some very mild contractions they were fairly random but were worse when I was on my feet. So I called and left a message for Matt on his voice mail and then put my mom on stand by. I stayed off my feet for the most part and took it VERY easy (I want her to wait a couple of weeks so she is really ready and not preemie). The contractions didn't progress - and that night I only had a couple and none all day today - so my mom is no longer on stand by - and hopefully Matt has calmed down :)
When Ella was on her way labor went fast. Contractions started and were strong and frequent. I had been trying to sleep on the couch (no position was comfortable anywhere) I went in to the bedroom to tell Matt that she was coming. He jumped up got dressed and rushed out to the car then he came back about 5 min later to see what was taking me so long!!! I was having contractions every 3 min. or so and when he came back in I was in the middle of the hallway doubled over in the middle of a contraction. He was so funny in his panicked state.
Now with Halee he is panicking again - he is out at sea and so he has been getting email updates 2 or 3 times a day - and he is talking to his command about getting flown off the ship so he can take the first flight here :) I'm hoping he listens to me telling him that everything is fine and he doesn't need to worry - but then he wouldn't be himself :)
