My mood while writing this blog: blank-

Hello Ladies...How was your weekends? I hope good...well, I hope they were great. I sure had a rather 'interesting' weekend and would love to share it with you all...

Okay, Friday...an emotional wreck!!! Its nothing to really say about that day. I cried almost all morning because things werent going my way...Im so silly. Friday afternoon, I left to go to my hometown...where they were throwing me a surprise, unsurprise party. It was a surprise because they told me at the last second. And, it wasnt a surprise because...well, they told me! LOL. It was a baby shower and a birthday party because my birthday is...TODAY!!! yaay me! Well, I see what you ladies say about the frustration of a baby shower...It was so frustrating until it was ridiculous. To say I didnt plan it or was no where near the planning, I had soooo much running around to do. It was so tiring. The baby shower started off slow but picked up...Ladies, I barely got to eat anything from the baby shower...so mad!!! Everyone were fixing their food, eating, and you know what I was doing?...Helping everyone fix their food!!!! Grrrr...I ended up eating just a little. Well, I got a lot of great gifts...which I appreciate so much...now my baby has more clothes than I do.

So, the baby shower/birthday party went great!!! I couldnt ask for anything more amazing. NOW FOR THE CRAZY PART!!! After the baby shower, I decided to go to Walmart with my cousin to pick up some things. Well, about 30 mins in Walmart. We got to her house, and here comes the contractions...SO PAINFUL. I mean, the contractions took my breath away. When I usually have a braxton hicks contraction, I would move and they would go away...But, the more I would move, they would get worse. So, after a while of not being able to take them, I went to the ER. The first thing they said to me was...'Did your water break'. I am like, 'no, I am having bad contractions....' So they get a wheelchair...I almost fell in the wheelchair. They are fussing at me telling me to watch what I was doing...'sorry!!!!' Well, they took me up, had me change into the nightgown and put my clothes in the bag. Then, they hooked me up to the monitors. I was getting fussed at for being so far away from my home...3 hours away...LOL, I knew I am not supposed to be traveling like that right now... maybe I was trying to pull a quick one...never know!!!! The RN had to get my history faxed to the hospital and all. It was so crazy. And the contractions STOPPED!!! Did I want to cry...yes yes yes, I did!!!! I was so mad, I thought for sure I would see my pride and joy!!!!! Well, Monday, at my last appt, the man said I wasnt effaced or anything..Well, within those five days, I made huge progress!!! The midwife said I was 50% effaced and 2cm dialated..how in the world!!!!! Well, I know how...I really started picking up the pace by the day after he told me I wasnt effaced or dialated. Well, anyways ladies, I am not going to drag this story...just wanted to tell you all how my day started off great and ended up in the ER...She said my baby weighs 6 1/2- 7lbs!!! GOOD!!!! But, I got sent home because the contractions werent consistent enough. Well...oh well....gotta love it!!! Thanks for listening. It may not be well put together like I wanted to but, my eyes are dropping now...I am ridiculously sleepy. I may have omitted a few things...and I apologize. Thanks for listening anyways....Going to bed now...I cant fight the sleep anymore...NITEY NITE!!!!!!!!
