29-8-2009 - No more anything

My mood while writing this blog: Anxious

So yesterday my husband and I dropped off our kids at his parents and went big grocery shopping. Since the girls go back to school on Wednesday we though it best to shop for their snacks with out them there. Any how after about 45 minutes I started having some painful contractions. I continued to shop through the pain like we're told to do in the early stages of labor. The contractions started coming closer and closer and my husband was nervous so we finished shopping without finishing the shopping. When we got home he put everything away and I took a shower trying to elivate some of the pain as well as slow the contractions. After elivating my feet drinking water and clocking the contractions we soon came to realize that they were 8 minutes apart. I called the doc and went into the office to be hooked up to the NST monitor. Little man was doing great however they confirmed that my contractions were 8 - 10 minutes apart. I stayed on the monitor for 3 hours and no change. They did and internal and suprise no cervical change. My cervix is still high, with no dialation or thinning. The doctor gave me a choice to either go to the hospital and be hooked up to IV's and monitors or go home and labor it out at home until either the contractions slowed or became more intense and more frequent. I chose to come home. No sense in sitting in the hospital for the next few days. So now I am not allowed to do anything. But rest, stay hydrated and stay on a light diet. I have had contractions all night but still no change. Still 10 minutes apart. Still not progressing. I have got to say my little man is a stubburn little bugger. I think he is just trying to tell us that he wants to be incharge of everything. I am trying to stay positive but I am starting to get really cranky tired and miserable. I don't know wether to pray for them to stop or hope that they get stronger so that he'll be out this weekend. Hope everyone elses weekend is going better then mine.
