Boo!

Yep, I started contracting at 4 am and they were about 4 to 6 min apart while lying in bed, then when Randy woke up, we started timing them. contractions were about 2 to 3 min apart for at least 2 hours when we left for the hospital, then on the car ride there, they just stopped. I was only dilated at a one and 70% effaced and not contracting at all anymore at the hospital (even when I literally ran around the halls), so they sent me home. yep, I'm one of THOSE girls. Oh well. I am still having contractions and they are getting stronger, but they are seemingly random at this point. It is hard to know when to leave home though, because the hospital is 45 or so minutes away and I have to have antibiotics because I tested positive for my group B strep test (which means I need to be in the hospital for roughly 5 hours to get 2 doses in). Anyway, We will keep everyone posted. Kinda sucks I know. But hopefully she still won't come on Jacob's birthday TOMORROW! cross your fingers she either comes tonight or Tuesday please.

Of course she will come on Jake's birthday. Why would she want to miss all the fun? Good luck and keep us posted!

Heather I'm hoping you are going into labor because I had false labor starting from Dec...8th until Roxie came on the 29th and it was horrible!! We are keeping our fingers crossed!!!

Good luck-I guess they say that if you can't walk or talk through them, that's when to go. I'm sure you know that; but I was one of those girls too. :)

Oh, I tested positive for group B strep both times! I hate trying to figure out when exactly you need to be at the hospital so you can get the IV. Good luck! I'm so excited!! Jakey may get a cute little present!! Happy Birthday Jake and "Cake"! You should really consider that name...especially if she comes tomorrow.

But then you could just combine the two birthdays and have double the fun. Good luck whenever she decides to make her debut.

Linds, It is a little different with Hypnobirthing, I walked to the bed while Jacob was crowning and I talked the whole time so for ME, that really isn't an indicator. But thanks anyways.

Heather Amanda Told Roxie to come out and 24 hours later I was in labor and having a baby...maybe you should call Amanda
