Yesterday morning i woke up to two things... number one-- Ben was gone for work already, there has not been a day since he started this job that i haven't woke up when either his alarm went off, he got in the shower, or when he leaves. But yesterday i rolled over and he was gone, then i looked at the clock (8:00) and thought how nice it was but i wanted to go back to sleep,- having no job is boring-- after 20 minutes or so i couldn't fall back to sleep and number two- i noticed my VERY active child wasn't being so active but shrugged it off and got up to go eat breakfast... as i sat and ate and watched a little news she still wasn't moving- this is not normal-- she is ALWAYS moving.. so i waited a little while longer, still no movement and so i drank a little pop to see if that would wake her up.... after an hour or so i started to get really scared so i called my doc and asked her what she thought,,, come on down she told me... oh yeah on all days, Ben was suppose to be going to Logan for court but instead he came home and went to the hospital with me.. we got there and got me all hooked up... the nurse said she looked great strong heart beat with lots of spikes and very receptive to my movements and pushes on my stomach but they wanted to monitor me for a half an hour anyways YEAH for me. the doc told her since i was 38 weeks and having contractions (which i had been having for 4 days) that she should check me... i was dilated to a 3 and 90% effaced but my contractions weren't strong enough to make it worth me staying there... so i have been home now for 2 days having painful contractions but not painful enough to help my child be born....
oh i LOVE being pregnant...

Oh Kara you made me remember my lovely experience just 11 weeks ago when I was having the "same" kind of contractions. Then all of a sudden I'm on the floor and can't move. 40 minutes later I had a baby! Wishing you quick and breezy delivery! Take the meds GIRL! Take them! haha
Oh my pee my pants. That is so scary! honestly! I miss being pregnant. I know people tell you to enjoy it while you are, but good luck doing that. The whole fat, no sleep, thing sucks. But I miss the squirmies in my belly, the non-indegestion ones. You know?! Good luck girlfriend. Please keep us posted, and let me know if you ever need anything. I can always mail it, right?! Kidding. I'll do whatever!
I agree with Aubreay, being pregnant is something you will miss when it's over. You won't want to wait to do it again! I am so glad that everything is okay. I would have been a nervous wreck! I hope you get to see your little girl safe and sound and in your arms soon! Keep us posted.
You are in the home stretch!! And don't worry, I had contractions for a week with Xander.
Just take it a day at a time because the pregnancy will be over before you know it :)
Good luck with those contractions. No fun. But they are definitely worth it once your little girl is here. I'm so excited for you!
Dang! I was hoping you would've said you had her! maybe today! I will keep my fingers crossed:)
