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.
