Contractions & Tears

Yesterday I was having painful contractions along with back pain all day so the dr wanted me to come in to get checked out. So after work I ran home to get Ryan and our bags for the *small chance* that we would be admitted to the hospital.

They checked to see if my water had broken, which it hasn't and then she checked to see if I had made any progress. Now about 3 weeks ago I was already 2cm and yesterday....I was still 2cm. I instantatly started bawling. I had warned Ryan that I *may* cry if I hadn't made any progress. Yup, I couldn't stop crying- the nurse tried her best to make me feel better by telling me there is still time for him to come before his due date (well 2 whole days) and that she went over with all of her kids. But the best thing she did was just left us alone to cry together...even though Ryan wasn't crying :)

I was hooked up to the monitor and little Henry was of course doing just fine but the stupid machine wasn't picking up my contractions...well after she moved the little monitor thing in the right spot they started to pick them up but of course they weren't as close together as they needed to be for us to stay...so home we went.


Well then to make matters worse we stopped to grab some food on the way home and some lady asked me if I was having twins *insert blank stare* Nope, not twins...I am just that big. :(
