The Last Few Days

I started having contractions at 2am Tuesday. They were about 6-8 minutes apart, not very strong but pretty regular. By 4am they were about 4-5 minutes apart and stil not very strong. But I put a call into my Dr at 5:30 am and woke hubby up anyway. She said to stay at home and just do whatever until I had to stop and breathe through the contractions and they were 3 minutes apart. They never got this close together or that strong.

So we went about our day most of Tuesday but I was still contracting at 4:30 and they were 2-3 minutes apart so I called the office just to make sure I was doing everything right. She said that I sounded way too calm for my contractions to be that close and that I should continue at home.

They were 2-3 minutes apart most of last night. Some did get stronger but still not enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. I didn't get hardly any sleep. So this morning I woke up and still was contracting. We went to get a bite to eat and I called the office to see what to do.

I talked to the same nurse this morning that I spoke to yesterday afternoon. She says it sounds like I'm having "programmable labor" and that it can go on until my due date with no or little progress. She also said that I may have irritable cervix but we just didn't know it because of all the bedrest. She wants me to call back at 1:30 and see if I can get in to see a midwife just for a cervix check. They won't do anything at this point to help me along so ba just wish ically I'm resigned to being miserable for the next two to three weeks.

To make matters worse Evan was a total butthole this morning and after we talked othe nurse (Julie) because he says I'm just too emotional over all this. I wish for one day he could walk this journey I'm walking and then maybe he wouldn't be so callous over all of it.

Sorry, I'm crying like a baby... so spent. So tired. So frustrated. Someone please give me hope that I don't have to do this for 2-3 more weeks!
