Marcus and I headed to the hospital last night at 1:30am - because I was having semi sizable contractions. When I left home they were about 7 minutes apart - and by the time I got to the hospital they were 2-3 min apart. I have to say there weren't as intense as the contractions I had when I started going into labor with Lucy, but since I progressed so fast with Lucy, my doctors had suggested me not dilly-dallying this time, once contractions started. Well once I got there they checked me and I was - 80% effaced and 4 cm. (which is a slight increase from last week) BUT, after walking for an hour, I was still the same, so they sent me home.
I wasn't too upset about going home, after all, I was super tired, but I was more upset that Marcus wouldn't be able to run in his first 10K, which was at 7:30 this morning. We got home at 3:30 am - but Marcus is a rock star and he got up and did an awesome job! I'm so glad he still was able to do it! His final time for this first race ever was 52:28 minutes - which ended up being at a pace of 8:27 minute miles and #277 out of #793 runners! I'm so proud of him!
So anyway, my doctor is hoping I will just go on my own in the next few days, but if I don't I have an appointment on Wednesday and at that point, we might discuss inducing me next weekend. I'm hoping last night was just a little teaser and this little girl is going to be making her debut soon (and preferably on her own) but we'll just have to keep waiting at this point!
I'll keep you posted.
This week/weekend was also Pumpkinfest here in Morton. Lucy's favorite things were the pumpkin ice cream and Pooh Bear in the Parade. :)
