Birthday to soon?

So on Sunday we were at Trace's mom's having dinner and about 3 pm I started having the normal contractions but they were painful so I was like huh I wonder if these are like what people feel when they have those painful contraction's during delivery? So I asked Trace's mom and she was like oh I bet it is your body just telling you that it is getting ready for the baby? So I was like ya that could be true? So I waited and about an hour went by before I was like no I think these are contractions so we went home and I got in the tub to try and get them to calm down which they didn't really they were about 5 to 8 min apart so I went and laid down to relax and that didn't really help well then of course the stinker wasn't moving at all I did the orange juice and stuff to get her to move and nothing so I was worried about that and not to mention the contractions. So me and Trace got in the car it was about 8:30 and drove over to the hospital to see if the baby was OK not even worried about the contractions really. So they hooked me up and right as she put the heart monitor on for the baby what happens she starts to move like crazy and her heart rate was just fine so then they started watching my contractions and they were about 3 to 5 min apart and some of them were pretty painful I could handle the pain but it hurt so she checked me when we first got there and I was at a 1 and 80% effaced so she said well I'm going to watch these and check you in an hour and call your doctor and see what he wants to do so an hour passes and she comes back checks me and I am now a 2 and have effaced a little more so she said I'm going to call your doctor. So she comes back with discharge papers and said that he wants me to take my last dose of Nifedipine and have a Morphine shot that will either make me go to sleep or send me into labor and I will be back in a few hours. So I got the shot and went home and fell asleep and woke up the next day. So we almost had a baby on Sunday but I'm glad she is still waiting. I will keep you posted.
