I’ve been having fairly steady contractions since about 6:30 pm last night. Anywhere from 5-11 in an hour. The OB told me to call back and plan to go into the hospital if I’m having them every 5 minutes and they last longer than a minute. Well, despite tracking them from 1am on, I never got to that point. I also never got to sleep. My back is KILLING me! And these are definitely NOT painless Braxton Hicks contractions. Called the OB back after 7am and he agreed that it seemed like “something” is going on, so I should get to the hospital. They’ll monitor me and see if this is real or a false alarm. Although we’re a week or two earlier than I wanted to be, I am hoping it’s real because I can’t keep having this pain!
So, Mike is dropping Eleanor off at daycare with plans to have Aunt Claudia pick her up this evening. My mom is on call to catch the next plane to Philly if this ends up being real. And I caught my office-mates up on my pending duties.
So I guess we’re as ready as we’ll ever be! Mike will be back to pick me up soon. I’ll keep you posted!
hoping all goes well. sending loving auntie vibes your way.
I’m on pins and needles. I can’t wait for your call. I’m ready to go.
