So, last night was Chris's birthday and we went out for a nice dinner. I wasn't feeling well I had crampy contractions and such. Dinner was awesome though and on the way home I realized the contractions were pretty close together and pretty uncomfortable. When we got home, I timed them for an hour and they were 4/5 minutes apart and lasting longer than a minute. I called L&D and they said I could come in now or labor at home a bit more. I decided to labor here while we got the bags together and such. Well by the time we got the bags together Chris and I had a misunderstanding about when we were going, so we just ended up heading out (he thought I wanted to go right now, I really wanted to wait, but thought he wanted to go haha). I didn't really feel like it was "go time" but I started thinking about all of those women who don't realize they are in labor and decided I better check it out just in case. Well, long story short, Sully is still picture perfect in his movements/decels. Contractions are real and I was timing correctly, but I am just not dilating (ok fine I am 1 cm and my cervix is still thick, but that might as well be nothing). I kept apologizing, I think because I felt stupid. Sully is staying in there, for quite some time probably, and I just need to get used to it. I *can* do another month of this, I just don't want to.
