OUCH!

Nate’s picking up the girls from school right now. My friend Gayle is coming over to be with them. We’re heading into the doctor’s office to be checked. I’ve been timing for almost 2 hours, and they’re lasting well over a minute. If I’m standing, they come right on top of each other, and if I’m laying down, they’re 4-6 minutes apart. And they hurt.

Last night, the nurse at the hospital told me to come in if they were regular at 7 minutes, because they have in my chart that I progress fast once it gets going.

Of course, I may show up and have them tell me that I’ve made no progress and that my contractions really aren’t that strong. I hate it when they say that.

But, I’m thinking this’ll be my last post before having some REAL news.

I hope.

    Hoping for progress, progress is good. The doctor commented that I should think about camping out in front of the hospital if I had another . . . lol.

    When you start thinking that oh yeah, this is so not it YET, then it usually is! With my last one, I made the older kids breakfast, etc etc, etc before I would bother going to the hospital…..I sure will be thinking about you and wishing you well. Here’s to a Mr. McFeeley delivery!

    This is the first time I am “expecting” since I had my boys almost 33 years ago.
