Hospital Visit #1
Well I just got home from our first hospital visit. Once I got home from the doctor I started having contractions that were irregular but not that bad. Then they started getting stronger but weren't painful. The only problem was the stronger they got the harder it was for me to breathe. So Justin came home and we headed to the hospital. On the way to the hospital they were 5 min apart and stayed that was for total of 3 hours. At the hospital they checked me and I still wasn't any more dilated than I was at the doctors office. So they gave me 1 liter of fluids and it did slow down the contractions somewhat but didn't stop them and actually made them stronger. So they checked me 2 hours later and I still had not dilated even after all the contractions so I was officially in false labor. So they gave me a shot of Terbutaline and the contractions stopped. So I got to come back home. I don't know how much longer Jackson will stay. He seems very anxious to come out. So that has been our night. I am headed to bed. I have visitors coming tomorrow!! Our parents are anxiously awaiting the call to come here. We thought it might be tonight but nope. I will keep you updated on any further changes.

Oh my. I know you are so excited but all of this back and forth has got to be draining. I can't wait to hear the news that your Mom & Dad are on their way to Chicago...later than sooner, I hope. Let Jackson cook a bit longer. :)
