Last Night Drive Through

Well, Brad and I officially had our first 100% complete false alarm. I started having some big contractions yesterday evening. We started counting them around 6:15pm. The began to come more frequent and the intensity was rising. We waited until they were about 4 minutes apart and decided we should load up the car and head over to get checked out. The nurse strapped 2 monitors on me, one for the contractions and one for the baby's heart. Jaxson was going strong and so were the contractions. Now they were between 3-4 minutes apart and lasting about 1 1/2 minutes. I wasn't dilated any more than my previous appointment but now I was 70% effaced and my bag of water was bulging out. The nurse also confirmed that Jax was still head down. Brad and I got to get up and walk around a while. When we came back the only change was now I was 90% effaced. They said it wasn't much to be concerned about however they wanted to monitor Jaxson's heart rate some more. Earlier it was around 130 bpm but now hovering the 104 range. Basically my lazy little boy was taking a nap....of course it was 1am and mom was getting kind of tired too. They said that little boys tend to decrease their heart rates anyways. So after they confirmed that nothing was to be worried about, they discharged us. That sucks...I really didn't want to be that pregnant girl that cried wolf. So here I sit at home...contracting and being uncomfortable. So I guess it is just another waiting game!
