This last week has sure been an interesting week which is why I haven't posted. I actually took a 38 week picture, but its still on my camera which is packed in my hospital bag that is still waiting in the van! I'm sure most of you are somewhat aware what has been going on since its been on Facebook. Anyways, I have been in the hospital twice this past week and been sent home both times because I wasn't progressing.
Early Thursday morning, about 3:30am I started having contractions. They were about a minute long every five minutes for well over an hour. So I just knew that was it! John's dad came over to watch Mikey and we headed off for the hospital around 8:30am. I got checked in at the hospital and was in the room still having contractions showing on the monitor. When we first got there the nurse checked me and I was only a fingertip dilated. I walked the halls and continued to have strong contractions. About an hour or so later she checked me again, and no progress. So they sent me home around 1:00pm.
My contractions continued even though they weren't getting any stronger. Finally, they slowed down and I was just having them occasionally. Then on Friday night around 11pm I started getting them again with more force this time. I tried to get some sleep but around 2am Saturday morning they were getting stronger and were about a minute and a half long every 4 minutes. So John's mom came over to stay with a sleeping Mikey and we headed off to the hospital around 2:30am only to get the same news as before. I still wasn't dilated much more than before, so they sent me home again around 5am.
The contractions continued and eventually slowed down. I haven't been sleeping very well because of them waking me up and keeping me up half the night. This has been a very tiring week and I am so ready for Wesley to be here already! I have a doctors appointment this afternoon, and I am hoping and praying for some good news! Tomorrow is officially my due date, and we are all ready for baby Wesley to arrive!
Hopefully my next post will be about the arrival of our new little bundle! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and keep praying for this stubborn little boy!
