Not even 3 posts in....

And I already failed at my goal of writing one post each day. However, I do have good reason. Friday morning at my doctors appointment I found out that I was 1 cm dilated. Well my doctor checking to see if I was dilated ended up giving me really painful contractions pretty much the rest of the day. I tried EVERYTHING. A glass of water and laying on my side, just relaxing and taking it easy. Well I finally got tired of doing nothing and my mom, younger sister, and my sisters dad (who is visiting this weekend from Arkansas) decided they wanted to go to Hu Hot for dinner. When Dave (my sisters dad) offered to pay for me to join them I couldn't turn it down! I love Hu Hot but don't get it often because its about 13 dollars a person for dinner. Anyways, I ended up going. Well our closest Hu Hot is in our closest mall which is in Manhattan about a 20-30 minute drive from where we live depending on traffic and whose driving. All through dinner I was having really bad pains again. The same pains that my doctor told me were contractions and back labor. After eating dinner we decided to go into the mall thinking maybe the walking would help to ease my pains. Haha. Boy were we wrong. It ended up making it about 10 times worse. Thank god I'm planning to deliver in Manhattan, because we were able to go up to the hospital there instead of having to drive back to Junction City. So we get to the hospital and the ER nurse takes like 10 minutes to even get to me then looks at me stupidly and asks, "Are you here with them?" (pointing at the family that she just helped before me)"Or do you need to be seen?" Well normally I wouldn't have expected her to know the answer without asking me but this time I was pretty much doubled over in pain partly standing partly crouched crying while my little sister is freaking out because Mom is still out parking the truck. I mean this lady works at a hospital. Can her common sense really be that rendered? Anyways, I look at her and say "I think I'm in labor". Boy does this get her attention.

So the after the ER receptionist gets my name and birth date they take me up to Labor and Delivery. They get me in a room and immediately check how dilated I am. Well now I'm at 2 cm and the l&d nurse could feel me contracting. So they hook me up to a monitor to keep track of SeVynn's heart rate and a monitor to keep track of the contractions. The nurse lets me know she will be back in an hour to check and see how far dilated I am and then hopefully we can get the ball rolling. So an hour passes and I'm still only 2 cm dilated. So the nurse tells me "Honey, your in labor. The pains you have been feeling are indeed contractions and I'm sure they are very painful. However, since it isn't Tuesday the only thing I can do for you is either keep you here and check you every hour or so while you lay here in pain and watch T.V. or I can send you home with instructions to take some Tylenol and a warm bath, eat a small snack, drink a big glass of water, and lay down in your own bed." At this point I'm starting to think these people are completely crazy. Then she explains to me that since I'm only 37 weeks and won't reach 38 weeks until Tuesday that she technically isn't aloud to do anything for me or to help speed up the process. So we go home.

Fast forward to right now. I am STILL having contractions. Really bad ones I may add. I was asleep FINALLY, but then my o so loving husband decided he was going to get loud with his friend on Modern Warfare which woke me up. I cant get comfortable now because my stupid legs have decided no matter how I lay they are going to go numb and start to hurt as well. So I'm very irritated at the moment. I kind of want to go up to the hospital but since they cant do anything for me unless I'm 4 cm OR 38 weeks I feel like it would end up just being a waste of gas and time. So I decided I would get on here and update my blog. Listening to my husband play his game is really making me want to get in on the action though and I'm pretty sure most people wont want to read much more then the long post I've already typed. So I'm going to pull the "you woke me up and now I wanna play too" card on my husband to get a turn at the game. =D
