Despite inducing labor trips to the mall—not one, but two—Vickey’s contractions were only about 10-15 minutes apart for 3 or 4 consecutive times. Then they’d stop for a while.
And of course, we were sidetracked by a few stores and did a little shopping. You should try Harry and David’s mint chocolate malt balls…they’re to die for.
The three of us walked at the Galleria Mall in the morning, and then spent the afternoon with the Coglianeses barbequing, swimming and just hanging out. Tracy joined us for the 4th of July activities there. We got home around 4 p.m. and Vickey and I made another trip the mall, this time leaving Eliana with Tracy. Vickey experienced some hard contractions there, but still nothing consistent.
We all had dinner then headed outside to witness a cornucopia of fireworks. Neighbors, the City of Henderson, surrounding hotel casinos and The Strip all shot off fireworks. It was very noisy from about 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.
While we oohed and ahhed over fireworks (even Tank was involved) Tracy packed and cleaned-up. It took her several hours to find the floor again in our guest room. It was like a tornado hit our guest room and bathroom.
Eliana finally went to bed about 9:30 p.m., Tracy and her friend left for L.A. about 10 p.m., and Vickey and I retired about 11 p.m.
There were no contractions to speak of during the night, so we’re still wondering when this little bambino will come. Her due date is tomorrow. She sees the doctor tomorrow morning and we’ll have a better idea of progress and a possible date for inducing labor after that.
Hope everyone had a fun, safe Fourth of July!
