Get Her Out of Me!

A lot has happened the last couple weeks, for starters, I went for a doctors appointment on the 3rd (2 1/2 weeks before the due date) and found out that I was already 2cm dilated and 50% effaced.

My doctor said that this was a really good sign and that I should come back in a week, but she doubted that I'd make it. Last Friday night, the 6th, I started having contractions every 7-8 minutes for a 90 minutes, and then they started coming every 4-5 minutes for an hour.

That's when we decided to go to the hospital. Once we got there, the nurse checked me & I was 3cm 70%. After that I didn't have any hint of a contraction for 40 minutes, and then just really small ones, the nurse checked me again and I hadn't changed at all so they sent us home... kind of a bummer but it made for a good practice run:)

I went back to the doctor on Tuesday, the 10th and I was 2-3 cm 50% (I didn't go backwards, my doctor and the nurse at the hospital just didn't agree- which was a bummer, but better than going backwards!)

She said that she was really surprised that I had made it that far and would have sworn that I was gonna have the baby by Thursday or Friday.

So, now that Tyler & I have been to the hospital and know that the baby could be here within a couple hours, we're getting very impatient. The worst part is that this could go on for another 2 weeks...

Right now I'm getting contractions every 4 minutes and they've been coming for just over an hour, but they're not painful, unless I try moving. So, I'm trying to distract myself and am not doing a very good job at it.

Well, now I'm gonna watch a movie and we'll blog as soon as the baby gets here! (You have to wait for it too!)
