Before going to the Hospital

Well, as most of you know, Savannah is here! Sorry it*s been a while, but just adjusting to being a mom. On Tuesday, Oct. 5, I work up around 2am with contractions. I hadn*t felt contractions before then and man, I finally knew what they felt like. I laid in bed for about half and hour and then started timing them at 2:30. I woke Robert up at 3:30 and told him what was going on. When he finally got up for work, he had me call the doctor and she sent him on to work. He called all day to check on me. I went to the doctor around lunch time and I was dialated 3cm and 90% effaced, so the doctor scraped my membranes again and sent me home. Mom took me to lunch at Macaroni Grill and then I went home to relax. Robert came home from work and we took a walk around the block to help my contractions, which I was having the entire time we were walking. We ate dinner and then around 9pm I took a bath and my contractions were coming 3-5 minutes apart and were hurting. We decided to call Dr. Landis at 10pm and she told me to hold off for another 2 hours if I could. I was able to hold off until 11pm and then we packed up, took Tipper to my mom and dads and headed to the hospital.
