and I'm having a bit of an emotional meltdown. x( 
Which led, of course, to junk food. Here's the story... My sister is 38 weeks pregnant...she called me yesterday around 5pm to say that she's being admitted to the labor and delivery early because she has pregnancy induced high blood pressure. Her OB was concerned about her so she decided to induce labor. I live 1000 miles away from my family (I moved last August), and don't regret moving most days. But yesterday....my favorite sister (is it ok to have a favorite?) is having her baby early because of a health complication. It really hit me hard that I wasn't going to be there at all. I knew that I wasn't going to be 'home' around her due date (May 30)...but I hadn't really prepared my mind and emotions for the "going into labor call" yet. I should have done that awhile ago...but I avoided it because it hurt.
They started inducing labor at 5 this morning. We texted for about an hour or so until they came into break her water. So, in a sweet way thanks to technology I was able to be there for her. She's in active labor now, and I should be getting a "Kallie Sue has arrived" call soon. Mom and baby are handling the labor well, thank God!!
Thanks for "listening!
