silly me

Read the previous post from yesterday if you didn't already.
Silly me, forgot to knock on wood. 12:45am this morning painful contractions woke me up. I had two hard ones. I was shaking, couldn't control it. I had already called my angel of a neighbor to come over before I told Mark we needed to go to the hospital. About 1:30 I went to triage room. Contractions every 2 1/2-3min and they hurt. I was maybe a little bit scary to the nurse. But mostly trying to not freak out. Thankfully Steve had just delivered a baby and saw us. We were there until about 4:30/5am. I got fluids and 2 different meds. I had dilated to a 1. We don't know though why the contractions. Last time it was a UTI, but it doesn't look like it this time. I've been on nifedipine and still having some contractions, but not so close or painful.

Ran some errands and laundry today but trying to take it easy. Lucky for me Dan and Sam went biking so my sis Liz had time to come help me while Mark was moving some furniture and a trip to IKEA.  Beds made up with clean sheets and Christmas lights on the house!
