Monday Doc Appointment

I went to the doctor yesterday and not a lot has changed. I am more thinned out than I was, and a little more dilated but not too much! I was a little upset. The doctor pushed on my stomach really hard and felt around...it hurt so bad. I went and ran a few errands after and I felt so sick. So finally after a hellish day of driving and other things...I got home two hours after the appointment ended. I was wasted. So I layed down for a little while and then my mom called. She asked how things were and I told her that I was hurting really bad. She told me that he doctor might have stripped my membranes. That is where they loosen the amniotic sac from the cervix to get things going a little bit more. That is probably what he did...because he told me that we needed to get things going and he can do that without my permission.

All the rest of the night I was feeling pretty sore and Ben wanted me to go to his work and sit there while he finished up because he was worried about me. So I drove over there and sat there in pain with my contractions that were coming every 1-2 minutes. We went back to our apartment and packed up some things and got all the baby stuff put into that car. Ben wanted me to really start into labor so we went to BYU campus and walked stairs. It was so hard and I wanted to die. I don't know if it did anything, but we came back home and just went to bed so that we could get some rest. All night long I had contractions and it was not a good night. I was in so much pain. This morning it is worse and I believe that we are going to go to the doctor. I was going to eat something and then see what happens from there. I hope things progress or those dang stairs last night helped something. I guess we will see.

Ben has been doing so well on being more sensitive to my needs and making me feel loved. It is so great and it makes me feel like I AM loved. He is such a sweetie and so I wanted to thank him for being so great and trying so hard to make me feel special...you are wonderful Ben! I love you!
