So last night I had a dry run for whenever I have Luke

I had a really busy week and had been contracting off and on all week long. So Saturday I do my normal Saturday teaching and whenever I get home I start to clean like crazy. I was starting to feel a few contractions that were getting pretty intense but I just ignored them. Well, stupid girl that I am, I allowed hubby to woo me and we had some coitus After that all heck broke loose!

I tried to take a nap but the contractions were getting closer and stronger and I was getting uncomfortable, not to mention that I was having horrible menstrual like cramps. So I call the doctor after timing them for an hour or so (they were 3-4 minutes apart) and she told me to time for another hour and if they were still strong to come to L&D. So I time them and they stay consistent the whole time and so I pack all the stuff up (I hadn't packed anything yet because I am only 35 weeks) and we got into the car and went 45 minutes to my hospital.

Whenever I got there they checked me and I was dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced. They put me on the monitors and I had to see the resident on call. They kept throwing ice chips at me ( quite literally at some points) and my contractions really seemed to calm down. My (real) doctor came in and she scolded me because she had told me to take it easy at my last appointment. Thankfully nobody scolded me for coming in like I thought they would. In fact, the nurse said it was a good thing that I came in.

So, there about to discharge me all that we need are the papers. Well, the dr comes in to check me and she sees that my contractions are allot stronger now (duh, I could've told you that they were getting painful again) and were registering like 60 -70 on the monitor. When I got there they hadn't even been that high. Well, they gave me terbutaline and I had to stay even longer because they had to monitor my heartrate.

That medicine made me fell funny! In fact, my heart is still going a little crazy right now. It's supposed to wear off in a couple of days.

I also have a UTI which they think is another reason that I was contracting and having lower back pains. Not fun! I did learn that the nurses in L&D are super, super nice and that it is a very relaxing atmosphere at my hospital. Also, Luke seems perfect. Something to do with his heart's responsiveness to outside stimulant. The doctor and nurse were happy it.

I am super tired today but I have to be on partial bedrest now. My husband wasn't too happy that we came home without a baby but we both know that he needs to cook for a few more weeks. The nurse said that if the terbutaline hadn't worked than they would've had me deliver last night.

Btw, my cervix didn't change so I think I am going to be a 1 for forever!
Also, I wanted to keep you guys updated the whole time but the website wasn't uploading! Oh well, it's not like I actually had him anyways!
