Here's an update...

I went to the hospital yesterday around 1:00 p.m. I had been having contractions since about 2:00 a.m. and they were getting down to about 7 min. apart. They had me come in. I was monitored until about 9:30 p.m. While laying there, I did progress from 1 cm. to 3 cm. My contractions were down to about 4 to 5 min apart. The baby is looking great. However, they sent me home and said to come back when the contractions were 2 to 3 min. apart. They said they wanted them more intense. (I will say that when they said that...I didn't appreciate it because I thought they were already painful...but that is okay). Since I got to come home, I did get to eat something for dinner and get a pretty good night's rest. My contractions got down to 3. 5 min. before going to bed. I don't know if I was just exhausted and was able to sleep through most of them or if my body gave me a little break...but I am feeling better this morning. Today I am at home with my parents, John and Matt. We will let you know if anything progresses. I would say that there will be some Mall Walking today! Hopefully this little one will come soon so we can meet him/her.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.
