So, I am not posted up on my couch wishing that my cable worked as it is currently out and trying to keep my self entertained. I know I can read a book, but I can only read so much.
How did I get this way you might ask?
Well, Monday night I started having constant cramping, very similar to period cramping that wont go away. I had it all through the night with some contractions that I really wasnt paing any attention to. I woke up on Tuesday with continued cramping and went to work like usual... taught a class from 11-1 and then decided I couldnt take the pain anymore. So I started counting my contractions. 2 minutes, 4minutes, 5 minutes, 2 minutes.... ok now I was FREAKING out. I started to sweat and I felt like I was getting the flu, seriously. I called Shelly to get her assesment of the situation and she of course told me to call the Dr. and go to labor and delivery... why wouldnt I go? Well, because I was so afraid that I was wrong and I was just making all these feelings of labor up in my head. I didnt want to looke stupid or needlessly call the dr. So I did end up calling the Dr., who of course told me to go to the labor and delivery to get checked. Oh my gosh! I have so much work to tie up, this cant be happening now! So I am frantic at this point and Beau came to get me.
Turns out I was having regular contractions and my cervix was effacing... dilating etc... The Dr. decided to try me on Tri-something to stop the contractions,which didnt work but made me feel like I was smoking crack... which some might enjoy, but I DONT. So then they went to Procardia, which has spaced them out but not gotten rid of them. Beau and I stayed in the hospital overnight and then got to go home yesterday afternoon. I am now sitting here.
She just wants me to make it to 36 weeks, which is Friday. So I will go off bed rest and the medication tomorrow and we will see what happens. My mom and Leah had already planned on coming in town tomorrow so they are super excited.
Watch... the contractions will stop completely and I will be prego for another 4 weeks!
