So newest update, last night we went to the hospital. We were eating dinner at Winger's and I started having contractions. Well they kept getting closer and closer together over the period of a couple of hours, down to two minutes apart, so I decided to go in. Well they checked me and I was at 2 centimeters dilated and still only 60% effaced. (At least that is what the nurse said.) So we sat there for a couple of hours and of course my contractions pretty much stopped and it was getting late and all I wanted to do was go home and sleep in my own bed. So the nurse came in to check on my again an hour after the first time and I was 3 centimeters dilated. She was shocked, as was I, because I hadn't had any contractions or anything for over an hour. She decided to let me go home, gave me a shot of morphine and something else to calm the insignificant contractions, and sent me on my way, telling me I'd be back in 6 hours for sure delivering the baby. I slept horribly. My body was completely shut down pretty much, but my mind was alive and so while my body slept my mind was racing. I felt like I had to stay awake and will myself to breathe. Finally the drugs sort of wore off around 4 or 5 and I still haven't had any new contractions. My mucous plug did come out though this morning so that is a good sign. (At least I'm pretty sure it is.) So now I guess I'll just have to watch and wait. To top everything off it is snowing outside, which I don't mind at all. It's just sort of weird I guess. I think I'm still under the effects of the drugs. You'll have to pardon me. Well I gotta go get a drink of water. Love you all.
