I need to GET PACKIN'!

Alright...here's a little story for y'all.....so last night...I had an

awful night...I think I cried for 3 hours straight!

(some dumb things and some major things all mixed in one....too much for this pregnant lady to handle) So after I finally started to ge

t calmed down I started having contractions...I noticed that

I was having a lot of them...so I started to time them....at first they

were every 3-5 minutes. I thought maybe if I just

layed there very still they would go away....WRONG!

They got more and more painful...so I got in

a warm bath....at like midnight....and they started getting

closer and stronger....my belly would contort with every one and

I would wince in pain...so I texted a dear friend of mine and asked

her what I should do....(it never seems like

common sense when you are in the situation yourself).

Since it was the middle of the night and we didn't know if they

would check me quick and send me home my friend took me to

the hospital while Ryan stayed with the kids. I got there, they ran

me through the wringer with millions of questions

and all that jazz. Oh before I forget...I had been to the dr earlier

that day and was dilated to a 1. So after the interagation the nurse

checked me and asked,"What were you in the office?"

I said a 1...she said, "and when was that?" I said today....she was shocked!

I was dilated to a loose 3!!!!! I was shocked (but at the same time relieved that I

wasn't making things up in my head...lol)

So the contractions were real and I was in labor.

I was also in a lot of pain! LOTS of back pain!

So they shot me up with morphine and phenagren....didn't help...so they

gave me some terbutaline (to stop the contractions)....kinda

helped but made me SOOOOO sick...I had the trash can on the

bed with me and my face inside it! Gross....but they

didn't have anything else to barf in! haha after still being

in pain they gave me some demerol...that helped a little,

but man oh man was I jittery and sick from that terb!!!

Ewww!

My friend left to get home and take care

of her own family and I fell asleep for a friggin hour!

Ugh...the nurse came in and told me to go home!

So here I am now dilated to a 3 tired and sick to my stomach.....but

I don't care...I am so ready to have this little one!

I'm hoping I deliver soon. So....in all of this

I realized that I haven't washed any of the baby's clothes and don't

have my hospital bag packed or anything....so, I guess

I need to get packin! Wish us all luck and pray for a

healthy baby when she comes!

And also pray that I will be all packed and ready to go!
