Friday night Aron and I went to welcome home Grandma who just came back from a 1 1/2 month long trip to visit family. We hung out with the fam for the evening enjoying dinner and stories of everything that has gone on since she's been gone. When it came to dinner time I was in the middle of enjoying steak and potatoes...Mmm my fave!! But then...BAM here came a huge contraction that not only spread pain to my tummy, but also to my back. If there are any women out there that have had back labor, you know how horrible it feels. Funny part was, my question and frustration about not being able to eat during labor was answered. FOOD is no where in sight when you are in pain. (Good to know...2, 8, 20 hours of not eating is a nightmare situation for me...) Once the pain passed, I went to take another bite of dinner and WOWZA's, here came another one. I couldn't even get my lips around my steak. It was so frustrating!! It took a few hits before I had a mini realization that this could be it. I went and lied down on the couch as the contraction kept coming and getting stronger. It was painful and a reminder that I WILL be getting the epidural!! I went upstairs to get away from the noise because EVERYTHING became extremely annoying. Aron just asking me if I was ok was enough to send me into psycho killer mode. (I love you, B!!) It wasn't anyone doing anything inpaticular, just the fact that I was in so much pain and wanted everyone to fall of the face of the earth only to return when the pain left.
Aron and I decided to go home, lie down and prepare for the hospital thinking that this was it. The pain lasted for at least 2 hours but it wasn't repetitious enough to go to the hospital. I did what my Dr told me and just went to bed and rested for awhile. All night long the labor pains woke me up but still weren't coming at a certain rate. Some came right after another and then they'd disappear for 10 minutes. But... as you can all tell, I'm still here...still knocked up... So, no baby yet.
I'm thinking Peanut is going to be a prankster... how many times does this have to happen before she comes out. You win Peanut...2 to 0! NOW COME OUT!
