We had quite the weekend!! Saturday night my back started to hurt pretty badly and then during the night I had to get up 4 times to vomit which I haven't done for a while. By morning the contractions that I have been having for about a week started to hurt so I called the hospital and they told me to come in. They gave me pain medicine for my back and anti-nausea medicine for my nausea. They had to do a pelvic exam which usually is only slightly uncomfortable. Not this time. It hurt so bad they had to give me gas to breathe just to get through it. The pain medicine really made me feel drugged up. I was pretty out of it most of Sunday. When I arrived Sunday morning I was not dilated but by the afternoon they said I was 1 cm dilated. They had me stay the night Sunday night just to keep an eye on me and the baby. I continued to have contractions which were only slightly painful when I was awake. I had some when I was asleep but I just slept through them so they must not have been too bad. Jake went home for the night to do some homework that was due soon just in case things progressed and he would not have time to do it. He came back this morning before class and spent another hour with me until he had to go to school. I then proceeded to sleep the day away. The contractions got better throughout the day so after they fed me dinner I decided to head home. I guess I picked a good day to be my last day of work since I wouldn't have been able to go in today. Now I just have to take it easy and drink a lot of water.
Oh, we did decide on a name for a girl. She will be Jessica Danielle Foster. If she ends up being a he we are screwed though because we can't agree on any boy names. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Only 4 more weeks to go (hopefully).
Congrats on the new baby!!!!!!! So, do you think you were in labor that whole time?? How was Tuesday? Hope you are feeling back to normal :)
Congrats Mommy!
