False Alarm

I did it! I went in when I knew it wasn't the realt thing. But how was I supposed to know?!

I started feeling really strong cramps around 1 am on Friday morning. I even woke Kris up. They finally went away, I think, when I fell back to sleep at 2. I prayed and prayed to know something, but when I woke up I felt fine. I went to work and started feeling it again and timed them. It seemed like they were about 3-10 minutes apart so I called Dr. Thompson. She had me come in to be monitored.

Kris was sooooo cute! I drove up to the house to get him and our bags. He was in the driveway with our tourist camera around his neck, taking pictures of me driving up. He said he wanted lots of pictures just in case this was the big day! I love him! He had our bags packed and ready to load so we headed up to the hospital.

I was monitored for about 2 hours. I was contracting, but not enough to be considered "active labor". I also haven't dialted past 1 cm and I'm not effacing and Landyn is in a -2 position (she hasn't really dropped).

I was sent home and told to continue monitoring the contractions until they are 3-5 minutes apart.

I've rested A LOT all weekend and the contractions have decreased a bit. I still feel these "feelings" So we will have to see on my next Dr. appt. on Wed.

I will say that we prayed for an October baby. God is great and does answers prayers, even when we don't realize it. I've been praying a lot that Landyn comes early, but God may have other plans. We are blessed to have a healthy pregnancy so far and will continue to be patient. For sure, we will have Landyn in the next 3 weeks!!! YAY! We are so excited and continue to appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers :)
