Still Waiting...

Dave took the day off. We really thought we were going to have a baby last night. I was contracting every 10 min and they were hard and painful. I was up till almost 4am before I was finally able to get some rest and then they just stopped. I was a bit sick to my stomach because we just ate a ton of tacos for dinner at like midnight so I thought I was probably going to throw up, luckily I didn't. All day yesterday I was feeling like MaryJane was trying to dig her way out. I called Becky around 10pm because Dave and I were starting to get a little worried about how much it was hurting. Becky thinks she was laying on a nerve so every time she moved it sent a shooting pain through my stomach/cervix. The same thing is kinda starting to happen again but not nearly as bad as it was yesterday. I am having contractions again. they are 10-15 min apart it seems but they are lasting over a minute and a half. It's so frustrating because ever time I get contractions going they always seem to stop so hopefully they will keep up I think everyone is ready for her to be here including MJ. I went to the IMC hospital this morning to have a stress test done. They checked the fluid levels, normal is between 10 and 25. I am at about 13.5 I believe is what she said. The baby's heart rate was great. They wanted to see a few peeks in a 20 min time period and she did wonderful. Her base line heart rate was about 135. I didn't have any contractions during the 20 min I was monitored but as soon as I got up I had one, the last one I had before that was when we were walking in so about 30-45 min prior. So if we look at the day as a whole my contractions have gotten closer. I just hope as soon as I go to bed they don't stop. I don't want to stay up all night to try to keep them going because I really need sleep if I AM in labor. I have had so much of this now I wonder how far dilated I am. When I finally do go into real labor I bet it's going to fly by because most of the work has gradually already been done. I just hope I don't have her in the car or something. I lost my plug yesterday morning and Some this morning. Becky said you have to be dilating to loose it so I am pretty positive I am over a 3 now. I have never been past a 4 without an epidural.
