40 Weeks 5 Days Pregnant

Yesterday, after my doctor's appointment, I never stopped having contractions every 4-6 minutes, but I did stop being "too comfortable."

We finally headed to the hospital early this morning (around 4:00 AM), but since I still wasn't dilating, they sent us away again (around 8:30 AM) because they didn't have a room for us and my doctor was going to be in surgery for the whole morning. They asked us to return to the hospital at 3:00 PM.

I was a little panicked about leaving in so much pain, but the nurse told me that I could go home and take one Tylenol PM in order to sleep before coming back. I did, and I ended up sleeping the morning away, which was wonderful.

Now, I am off to get ready to return to the hospital. Hopefully we will meet Lex soon!
