False Labor

So yesterday evening I was in false labor. The contractions started around 4 pm they didn't seem to be very consistent but were getting more intense. Dave, the kids and I were on our way to his sister's wedding reception about 45 min away from home, I don't know if it was the bouncing from the truck or what but they started getting consistent about every 15 min or so. When we got there we were so busy I didn't really time them but they were still coming. They were starting to take my breath away. We were there till about 8:30. On our way home I was able to time them again and they were every 5 min, still feeling the same. We brought all my bags and the car seat with us just in case we had to rush to the center. I was getting a little stressed out because I think she is laying sideways or at least on an angle. I have a big lump pokin me in my side just under my rips. I am not sure if it is her bum or head but I also feel a lot of kicks in my cervix so I was just praying she would turn in time for me to deliver her properly. I'm glad it's not a leap year! Or I would have really been freakin lol. When we got home I picked up the house a bit and got the kids in bed. Jack ate WAY too many M&Ms at the party so I think he was sick to his stomach. He threw up so I had to clean that up. I was beat so I decided to lay down even though I really wanted to go for a walk to get labor moving. I was hoping to have her that night because it was my grandpa's birthday. Well it was getting late so I decided to go to bed. I have been up for a few hours now and have felt a couple small contractions but nothing different then what I have already been feeling for the past week or so. So no baby :( We were getting really excited and I think I got my mom all freaked out when I called her at the party to give her a heads up. I am going to go for a walk a little later today after Jack wakes up from his nap and hopefully that will start it up again or at least help her move into the correct position. I went for a long walk and went grocery shopping Thursday and it was Friday after McDonalds that she turned. What is it with fast food that's makin my baby turn? My FIL told me he thinks I look pretty big, I sure hope she's not a huge baby, or at least if she is I hope my body can handle it without tearing! I am tired of waiting. Dave and I were tempted to get some Castor oil and try that Friday but we didn't because it gives you the craps and if it didn't work I didn't want to go to the party like that. yuk! Plus I don't feel comfortable trying something like that till I am at least to my due date. 5 more days!
