Need Anything From Walmart?

Quick update - back again today (Tuesday) after starting back labor and close contractions. We didn't speed on the way down due to Anne wanting to get there in one piece, pulled into the hospital lot and checked in. Presented with two options after determination that there is early labor going on...A) Stay in hospital, look at boring art on walls that repeats in every hallway, chat with lively nurses and go in ever smaller circles OR B) Leave and roam the aisles of Walmart for hours on end to return either when contractions get ever more intense or tomorrow morning, whichever comes first. With a residency in Jordan, Gwen in safe hands and Anne's mom on the way....Dr's determination is that she can "help things along" first thing in the morning if labor continues as it is now. So far, we have memorized multiple serial numbers in the hunting and baby aisles at Walmart and are working to wear out the hall carpeting at the hotel. Unfortunately, the treadmills at Walmart were on elevated platforms not accessible to the pregnant lady, otherwise we would still be there. At least there was no major cleanup on Aisle 2.. :) Last meds were taken today, so cross fingers for rapid-fire action by tomorrow am at the least.

  1. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the new bundle-to-be!

    Also, Anne asked me to post an update that the Holy Rosary hospital in Miles City is not currently allowing visitors due to H1N1. So we all get to hold our breath for pictures! :)

  2. I should have called you...walking Walmart would have been much preferable to sitting at the stockyards until 9.30 PM! Good luck and can't wait to see the newest addition to the House of Miller!
