Well, with every pregnancy you must have a false alarm right? I started having contractions yesterday about 5 minutes apart and they went on for about 3-4 hours. So I frantically packed my hospital bag and dug out some baby boy clothes as well as the car seat. Chris and I called a babysitter who is AMAZING and took off to the hospital. I got there and they hooked me up to the monitors. The contractions were registering at about every 3 minutes, and they were begining to hurt, it felt a lot like pitocin when they first start that. They called the doctor who told the nurses to give me a shot of terbutaline which makes the labor stop. That shot burned! But it did its job for the most part and made the labor quit. So I'm home again, hoping to keep this baby in for another week or 2. At this point I'm only 36 weeks and 3 days, so another week or 2 will help a lot.
Oh and for those who don't know, please be sending thoughts our way, Chris lost his job on Monday, he was laid off with about 30 other people. He's looking but hasn't gotten any real leads yet.
