Yesterday I noticed that I was having more contractions then I usually have. I started tracking them a little after 1. By 2:15 I had had about 12 contractions. Called my doctor and of course they wanted to see me. Thankfully, I had given my boss a warning that I was having more contractions so I was able to take off pretty quickly.
Once we got to the doctor's the hooked my up to the monitors. I started to stress some because I wasn't having contractions like I had been, of course! After a few minutes they kicked in. In about an hour I had at least 15 contractions. The doctor said I was either in false labor or the real thing, and they couldn't tell me more then that. She recommended that I walk and see what happens.
Neither of us wanted to head home to only be making the 30 minute drive back to the hospital later. So we came and crash at the Stockman's house! I walked laps around their kitchen. We ordered in pizza and rented a movie.
While this was going on my mom was trying to figure out if she was going to do. Try to fly stand by here or wait and see what happens. A big deciding factor was that Wichita could get over a foot of snow by the weekend! Mom was able to get in late last night.
Matt and I decided we should stay the night at the Stockman's house that way we would only have a 15 minute drive to the hospital. We ran back to the house so we could pack a bag. Matt's parent's met us there and took Tonks. In all the planning we have been trying to do we never thought about what we would do with the dog. Oops.
I have been having contractions any where from 5 to 15 minutes. They're getting longer and more intense, so that's good! We've taken the day off from work. now we're just waiting to see what Jeremiah is going to do!

Praying for you guys! I'm glad that you have the Stockmans there to help and I'm glad that Mom made it in.
I hope you're able to get some rest, and that Jeremiah figures out what he's going to do. :-)
I am so excited! Thinking of you and praying for you! Tell Matt to keep updating the blog or FB as things progress. Get some rest! Try not to stress. Your body knows what it is doing.
I think Jeremiah is being a stinker!
