Not much longer

I had a dr's appt yesterday and since I have been dealing with a lot of contractions lately and actually not getting any sleep, my dr wants to check my cervix every week that I go in and see her. Last week I was dilated to about 2-3cm and today when I had my appt with her, I was dilated to about 3-4cm. I tested positive for the group b strep, which I tested positive for with Jackson and Aidan, so I know the routine on that one and how they do things. So around 5pm last night I started having more and more contractions. They were going anywhere between 2-5 mins apart. So finally around 7pm I decided that it was time that we go into the hospital. We get to the L&D and they hook me up to the monitors and check me. I was still only dilated to about 3-4cm, so she wanted to wait another hour before she checked me again. At first they thought that maybe I was dehydrated and that is what was causing the contractions, but that wasn't the case. My contractions were starting to come closer and closer together in the hospital, they were about a min apart and lasting about 1-1.5 mins, they were so strong that they were actually bringing tears to my eyes and I was getting so freaking tired. After an hour of having to go through all of that pain, the nurse came back in to check my cervix. Well you would have thought that I would have changed some with the way that the contractions were going, but nope...I am still dilated to only about 3-4cm. So she went and called the dr to see what it was that she may have wanted to do (either go ahead and admit me into the hospital or send me home with some pain meds) and she decided to go ahead and send me home and give me a shot of morphine. So I got the shot of morphine, then had to wait 30 mins before I could go home, because they had to make sure that I didn't have a reaction to the medication and then I got to go home. I have still been feeling the contractions, but it has eased the pain quite a bit, which is nice. So I am hoping that tonight I can finally get some kind of sleep since I haven't gotten a whole lot of sleep in the last almost 3 weeks. It's just so hard to believe though that our lil princess is going to be here soon. It just doesn't feel like I should be this far along and that she is going to be here before we know it.

Hard time sleeping

It's 1:45am right now & I'm having the hardest time trying to fall asleep. I'm just totally exhausted & I know that I am, but I can't seem to fall asleep...ugh I hate nights like this. Tonight I've been having contractions again, they are really uncomfortable :-( some people ask me how I can talk through them, easy lol I've had 3 kids plus I've been dealing with contractions since I was 9 weeks pregnant, so I'm fairly good at talking through them.

Stuck on bedrest

So on Monday I went back into labor & delivery because I was having contractions like crazy, they were going from 30 seconds to 5 mins apart. When we were there, they checked me and I am now 3cm dilated and still only 50% effaced. Well I started bleeding after my 2nd exam, which is normal. Well the bleeding went on for almost 24 hours, so I called the on call dr and she had me go in to get checked out, just in case something was going on. So we head in there and find out that my cervix was just irritated from being checked the night before, but as a precaution they gave me a 3rd Rhogam shot and then sent me home. Yesterday I an appt with my dr, she checked me again and determined that yes I am still about 2 1/2-3cm dilated. So instead of putting me back in the hospital, she is going to see me on a weekly bases now. Our goal is to just make it weekly now, instead of an every two week thing. At the rate that things are going, she thinks that Cheyanne is going to be here before we know it. So right now she has me on bedrest, I can go to any appts that are needed and I can run some errands, things that are minimal, but I can't go full on grocery shopping and do a whole lot of walking. So this is going to be oh so freaking fun =[
