Waiting....

This morning I wasn't feeling to well and couldn't hold anything down. I called the dr. and they wanted me to come in so they could check me out. While there I found out I was in pre labor, dilated to a 1, 50% effaced, and my contractions were 2 to 3 minutes apart. They asked me if I wanted to go ahead and go onto the hospital and I said, No because there was some things I needed to do. I told Joe there was no point in him coming home from work at that point. In the meantime I took a shower, packed my hospital bag, and tried to eat a plum. The plum didn't stay down and I wasn't holding any solids down. So I called the dr. once again to see what she wanted me to do and she told me to go ahead and go onto the hospital. I called Joe and told him to go ahead and come on home so we could go up there and see what was going on. 3 hours after being there and hooked up to the monitor the nurse said my contractions were coming and going and they were about every 3 to 5 minutes and I was still at a 1. She called my dr. to see if he wanted me to go ahead and stay or just go home. He recommened I go home so I didn't have to stay in the uncomfortable hospital bed and said if things start to progress more then to go back up there. So now is the waiting game... Joe and I are ready and hoping for Colton to come tonight. We will keep everyone posted.

37 Weeks

37 weeks and ready to have this baby... I am up all hours of the night tossing and turning and having to go to the restroom every couple hours. I guess i'm just getting prepared for a newborn and being up with him all night. I've been told over and over again to try and get as much rest as I can now cause when the baby comes there won't be any resting for awhile.
