So this morning I woke up to some very painful consistent contractions, so Randy called our obgyn and they said come on it right now. So in conclusion I went to the Doctor's office and they checked me and I was 3 cm dialated so they decided to send me over to the hospital to be monitored. The nurses monitored me for around 3 hours and came to the conclusion that I was indeed having contractions about every 2-3 minutes but unfortunately they weren't strong enough to progress me quick enough. Dr. Packard gave me two options, I could stay and be given pitocin but she said that she wouldn't suggest it because contractions would be extremely painful and my labor could take a long long time. She said the second option was go home and walk around and then maybe relax a little bit and when the contractions get so painful that I cry or can't do much of anything to come in. She just didn't want me staying there for hours upon hours. So I decided to go home and eat some food and hopefully get the contractions going. Contractions are still here but not much stronger. Hopefully something will happen soon I just can't wait to see him. I have enjoyed this pregnancy very much but just am soooo ready to see Jay.

Oh, Amy! How exciting! I will be praying that things will progress quickly so you can hold your precious little angel in your arms soon! Love you!
The last hours are the hardest ones as far as anticipation goes! Don't worry, little Jay will come on his birthday - and only he knows when that is. ;)
Hang in there and get lots of rest while you can.
The first 8 months go by in somewhat of a hurry. Then the last 8 days or so crawl to a snail's pace. But it won't be long! How exciting!
