Yesterday around 12:30 a.m. I started feeling funny. I was really uncomfortable, and I wasn't able to sleep. I tossed and turned until my boss called at 6:30 letting me know that she and her son both weren't feeling well and that I didn't need to come in. Well then I laid in bed trying to sleep... again. Then this uncomfortable feeling turned painful, and frequent. I switched positions, tried drinking 2 glasses of water, nothing seemed to help. So I decided to get up and start doing some simple chores. I finished packing baby Kevin's bag for the hospital. I called Ken to inform him the baby flag was being raised to a code orange. He decided to come home. Once he came home I tried to do the dishes while he kept track and timed my contractions. They were coming more and more frequent and they were more painful. I took a shower and after wards we headed off to the hospital. (Fourth trip to L & D triage, the staff and I are now close friends lol.) Well, nothing is happening. The very nice and patient staff explained how Braxton Hicks contractions work and how even though I was having some small blips on the monitor I was NOT in labor. My cervix is barely dialated to a 1... yeah just a 1 and just barely. They released me.
Honestly I think my body is ready for him to leave but I don't think he is ready to check out yet. He is so happy in there I swear he dances. He has a perfect heartbeat every time we hear it and he moves constantly. I have an appointment tomorrow maybe I will hear some more news and maybe the contractions are actually doing something. They did reappear again this morning but not for very long. I wonder how much longer this will continue and how painful the real thing will be? These were not pleasant and I'm re-thinking this whole labor thing. Is it too late to back out now lol??
