The Longest Week Ever!

So, at the beginning of last week I couldn't believe we were going to have the baby in just a week. But it has seemed like the longest week of my life! I have only two days left and I'm counting down the hours! Thursday night I couldn't fall asleep because I was contracting and in a lot of pain. I went down stairs and took a bath at about 1:30am and tried to time the contractions. They were hard to time because they were mostly in my back and I've been really sore in general the last week. I tried to go to sleep at about 2:00 and dozed for maybe a half of an hour. (The heart burn is pretty annoying also. I eat tums like they're candy!) I woke up again at about 2:30 and they were pretty strong and about 3 or 4 minutes apart. I really didn't want to call our friends in the middle of the night and then just get sent home from the hospital so I ate some cereal and began to pack the baby's diaper bag. The contractions weren't as strong so I thought I'd wait to see if would keep coming. Finally at 3:30am they settled enough for me to sleep. By morning I was so exhausted and still really sore. I had my last Doctor's appointment and they checked me and monitored the contractions. I'm only dilated to a one (not a big surprise considering I don't dilate!) But her head is really low and causing a lot of pressure. Especially when she moves, Ouch! The contractions had died down quite a bit so they just sent me home. The PA said to go to the hospital if my contractions become really consistent again. Their concern is that it'll put stress on the baby and my scar if I contract too much but don't dilate. That's basically what happened with Jaxson. He had a little sore round spot on his head from being pushed and pushed against my cervix, also his heart rate kept dropping. We don't want that to happen again so I feel really confident about my decision to have another C-section. Keep us in your prayers. Only 38 more hours (but who's counting?!)
