Today didn't go at all like I thought it would. My friend Carrie was supposed to come over and have a lunch date. But this morning while making a run to the store for milk I began to feel Braxton hicks contractions, menstrual like cramps, and a lower dull back pain that just would go away, all while driving home and I left my cell phone on the counter before leaving....go me!
So call the doctors office tell the nurse what's going on and she tells me the doctor will call me back. So Carrie comes over and I'm feeling better than before so I brush it off, but after an hour the doctor calls back asking me to come into the hospital anyway. So I call Paul and he gets home, Carrie and I cut our visit short, and Paul sets up his work in the office because he's staying home with Brandon. I knew I was okay enough to drive the 10 minutes to the hospital so after a quick bite to eat I headed over. The hospital was very nice and got me where I needed to be asap. I honestly didn't feel like I was waiting to long for anything, I just kept telling the nurse and doctor that even though 7/7/11 has a nice ring to it, it's not my baby's birthday. He will be an August or September baby.
After 3 hours of tests, ultrasounds, heart scripts, and fetal monitoring baby and I were okay to go home. Apparently I was a little over heated and dehydrated and that triggered the preterm labor, but for now I'm told to take it easy and to call again the moment anything changes.
The good part about this day was stopping for a dipped butter scotch icecream cone at DQ and coming home to a sleeping baby and sparkling clean house, I forgot today was a cleaning day, we moved the day this week because of the holiday on Monday. Now there is nothing forme to do but kick my feet up, sip some water and relax from a stressful day.
