Just wanted to send a quick "shout-out" across the Pacific to my friend Ali in sunny Honolulu, Hawaii!
Ali runs the airfare-now.com website with all kinds of tips, coupons, strategies, etc. for findng holiday airfare deals. Now airfare comparison travel sites have come a long way in the past few years but there are still literally thousands of them to choose from. So here’s a big aloha and mahalo to Ali for keeping it simple on a pretty nifty little travel website!
With the holidays coming up many people will be traveling. In my area it seems like there are more people with babies or toddlers than those without! Have you ever thought about your baby’s safety while traveling or at a hotel? They don’t have things baby proofed like you do at home! Check out babysafetravel.com for baby friendly hotels, baby travel gear and much more for traveling with baby!

So yeah, I’m a little slow getting this out…but oh well. I think I have a pretty good excuse! lol.
Details (possibly TMI, so don’t read if you don’t really want to know):
I woke up at 4am on the 29th with contractions. I had been having braxton hicks before so I figured it was that and tried to go back to sleep, when I couldn’t I started timing them. They were about 8 min apart. I decided to get up and take a shower to see if they went away, they didn’t (I decided to shave while I was in there too, lol). I went and laid back down. That’s when I noticed my panties were getting wet…I texted my mom and said “either my water broke or I have lost control of my blader”. I wasn’t sure cause it wasn’t like a big gush, just a little every few min. She said it could be my water and I should go to Labor & Delivery. That’s when Cory woke up. I told him what was going on and I swear that was the fastest I have ever seen him get out of bed! lol.
We left the house at 7am, was checked in at 7:15am. (I pre-registered only the day before! lol, I was cutting it close) Everything went great, had him at 2:01pm and I didn’t have to push for very long. I don’t know how long…but I’m sure my mom could tell me. It was her and Cory in there with me. I think I had the waiting room completely full! lol
I didn’t have any pain meds or anything like that. I did start to ask for something because they kept telling me I was still at 9 and that it wasn’t time to push and I just couldn’t help it, I needed to push! lol, so they checked me again and said, ok, it’s time. *major eye roll between contractions*
I managed to only dig my nails in Cory once and that was while I was actualy pushing. I did keep turning his fingers blue and purple though. lol.
END of TMI. lol
So this was the best birthday present ever. Yeah, my birthday was the 29th. 
Alrighty, at some point I will actually have a little something about me in here, untill then, this is all ya get. :P Sorry. O and there will be a picture too. For now I'm going to work on this layout. It's almost done. :)
