OB appt - dilated to a 4, 80% effaced!

Could go any day now!

Check myself into labor & delivery, contractions are inconsistent - some on top of each other, two were 5 minutes apart...but they are getting easier, not more painful :(

The NP says I can choose to be admitted, or can go home and walk. I'm in that much pain, so I choose to go home - but not to walk, to go to sleep! 

I wake up and contractions are totally gone.

Mom & Kylee get here! We go straight to the `hospital with more contractions.

Dilated to a 6, bulging sac, contractions are all textbook - 3 minutes apart.

OB sends me walking, but this time to stay at the hospital. I do 18 flights of stairs, and 2 laps around a courtyard around Bobby while he watches ESPN. Trying to get my water to break, or to dilate a little more.

Back to triage, now I'm back to a 5! :( :( And contractions are dwindling again.

Sent back home.
