Hurry Up and Wait!

Well, we went to the hospital today to run a test that checks my cervix and to see if I was having any contractions. After about an hour of the test, it showed that I was having contractions about every 5 minutes. My doctor decided we would take the stitch out today instead of Friday. I was relieved to finally have that done. He thought we had timed it perfectly because my cervix looks ready. I was still having some contractions after the stitch was removed, but was not progressing as far as dilating. Anyway, we left the hospital around lunchtime and ran some errands. I was able to get down to school by 3:00 for my diaper shower that the teachers gave me. We got soooooooo many diapers, wipes, lotions, and lots of pampering Mom gifts, too. It was so nice! The PHS teachers are a wonderful group of people to work with! We came home, unloaded the car, and I started walking. I walked up and down my road hoping something would happen. I'm about to go and soak in my tub and actually pamper myself before Andrew gets here. One of my friends said soaking helped her go into labor, so we're going to try it. Just wanted to update everybody on what was going on. We'll keep you posted if anything happens!
