So Thursday night around 8pm, my back started hurting really bad. It was a lot of pressure in my lower back and I was just miserable. So I went to bed early, hoping it would start feeling better. No such luck, I was in pain all night, tossing and turning. When I woke up yesterday morning, I called my doctors office to find out if it's normal, and when do I worry about it being back labor? The nurse FINALLY called me back that afternoon, and I explained to her what was going on, and she said that since it had been going on for so long, they wanted me to go to labor and delivery to be monitored. So I called Brandon at work and told him that he needed to come home, because they want me to go to labor and delivery, and then I realized that my hospital bag wasn't ready!! It was only half packed, and what if they made me stay for awhile? Or if they decided to go ahead and take Micah out!? So I had barely started getting everything together when Brandon walked in..I'm pretty sure he broke some speed limits :) I was like how did you even tell work you were leaving this quick? And he said I left and then called them and told them! Lol he was definately freaking out some! I was perfectly calm though, I figured I'd been sitting around all day with this pain, 5 minutes wasn't going to be an issue! So off we went to the hospital with our poorly packed bag, and we were put in the pregnancy triage area, where there's like 5 beds with curtains in between, it's where they decide if you need to be admitted for awhile or not. I also found out that it is where they put people directly after c-sections, because they get moved to the post-partum rooms. The lady next to me had just been rolled out of a c-section, and she had her little baby with her. The cry was the cutest little thing! After awhile, they decided it wasn't contractions, that I just had an irritable uterus (whatever that is!) and I was good to be sent home. They said to take it easy, stay away from caffeine (which I do anyway!) because that I guess can make my uterus even more irritated? and to drink lots and lots of water. So we didn't get to go to dinner and the movies, instead we just relaxed at home and was in bed by 8:30. Just being inside the hospital wears us out for some reason! And home is really weird because the puppies aren't here :(. Our friends came and got the puppies, they are the friends that always take care of the dogs when we go off to the hospital. They said even though we are home, they'll keep the dogs all weekend so we can relax and take it easy. It's weird not having the puppies here though. Today my plans are laundry and packing the hospital bag correctly..hopefully I'm successful at that!
Only 6 more days until Micah is here! SO CRAZY!
