Hospital

Yesterday I went in for my 36 week check up. I was really sick when I woke up and didn't want to go to my appt. I went anyway! I got in the room and told the nurse that I am really sick today. I have been having contractions and so they wanted to check to see if I was dialated. The Dr then let me know I tested positive for the strep test they did the week before. This was not turning out to be a great day. They checked and couldn't tell if I was dialated so they told me they wanted me to go into the hospital and have a stress test done. At this point I was wishing I would have just rescheduled my appointment. I called Ben at work to see if he could go with me. It seems like the 2 appts he has missed something goes wrong. :( He left work and was able to meet me at the hospital. I had to call my sister because she was saying I was going to have the baby on the 3rd of August. I knew I wasn't going to have the baby yet though. I go into my test and the nurse starts getting really worried. I was like umm okay what is going on. She keeps telling me I am having contractions. I am like well yeah, but they don't hurt. She tells me she has to call the Dr so I am now starting to panic. She comes back a few minutes later with an IV. They take some blood and then hook me up to some fluids. My contreactions start getting worse and lasting 1 minute long every 4-5 minutes. They give me a shot to help the contractions to start. They tell me that this med will make my heart race and make me feel yucky. So now I am thinking this day really just sucks! They give me the medication and the contractions stop for about 10 minutes. The Dr told them to check to see if I was dialated. I was like not this again. Sure enough I was only dialated to a 1. Then all of a sudden here comes a contraction. It lasted for a minute, but then my contractions started coming about every 10 minutes and then every 5. They had to call the Dr back and he said to just give me another bag of fluids and another shot and send me home. I was so glad after 4 hours to hear that. Ben and I thought for sure Dylan was going to arrive that day. During the IV Ben realized that the room we were attached to was the operating room. They were doing a C section it was so cool! We could hear everything. I told Ben to time how long it took for the baby to come out. No less then a minute later we hear a brand new baby screaming. Oh my gosh I got all emotional and I think I was crying as much as the new mom. Anyway I finally got to go home 4 1/2 hours later. I am still having contractions. They told me they wont stop the contractions from coming next week where he will be full term.
