24 Days to go...

So..last Sunday i went into labor!! We came home from my parents (we go there every Sunday) & we put Rylen to bed..popped some popcorn and pulled out a board game. We do that almost every weekend too...its our time together away from TV and time for us to connect and laugh..its brought us closer together. Anyway..i started getting "gas-like" cramps. I went to the bathroom and they started getting worse. We were halfway into the game and Ivon was talking to me and i couldnt even hear him i was in so much pain. I was starring at him with a blank look on my face. Quite funny actually. I told him how i was feeling..he set me up on the couch with a hotwater bottle and a pillow and nothing was helping. It was then that i thought "Am i in labor?"...I got up off the couch went and layed in bed and it got worse. Ivon ran a shower for me and came in with me. He started to time them..they were 5 mins apart lasting 50-60 seconds long. He said "babe..thats not gas..your in labor." I started laughing just like u did:) So..i started breathing through them and relaxing and the shower did WONDERS!! So he called his mom..he frantically ran around packing a bag just in case, and his mom was here within minutes. They were intense by the time i left. So, we get there. They do a "non stress test" and they start to ease up. I felt embarassed..thinking i was FOR SURE in labor. I guess i started to get my hopes up too.
They were still there..but really far apart. They had me do a urine sample and said "maybe its a urinary tract infection." I was like "What? No..im in labor!"..so they checked me..i hadnt dialated by cervix had softened alot. The test came back positive for a really bad bladder indfection. Hmmm...not at all what i was expecting. What happened was the bladder infection never showed any signs other than back pain, and in pregnancy ecspecially at the end u have a really sore back. There was no burning, no cramps, nothing. So..it caused my uterus to contract..it did put me into labor but it stopped itself. Weird. So, im on round 2 of anti-biotics..feeling much better. And, now we have 24 days to go until due date. Ill be honest and a little hopeful i think it will be earlier than that, but God will bring her when she is ready. His timing is always perfect. In the meantime i am praying for patience..i have felt so anxious and impatient and sooooo excited to meet her its gotten the best of me! But..24 days isnt that long!!
