Monday April 18th.. I woke up and had some bloody discharge. I was for sure he would come soon after that cause with Andrew my first son.. I had bloody show and then delivered him 6 hours later.. well the contractions never relaly kicked in and the bleeding stopped i had a doc apt wed. told the doc but there was no progress in my dilation and Ryan was still really high " floating" he called it.. Doc said it probably would be another week.. I was disappointed but still felt he was coming that weekend..


Friday Morning i got up for work it was really early and there was more bloody show.. even more then Monday and i was really crampy like.. plus going the "bathroom" like every 10 minutes i swear.. my body was cleaning itself out i suppose.. so let DH know to keep the cell close again and that i wasn't going into work..


Contractions were odd all day they didn't feel like BH and didn't feel real either.. they were all over the place some lasting 5-7 minutes one 15 some just a minute or two but they would come one 15 minutes apart then 1 hour apart then i would have a bunch within an hour and then just stop for a couple more..


I just didn't feel comfy all day and had come to the conclusion he wasn't coming that night.. about 10pm they got more painful but they were far few and in between and hard to keep track of when they started or stopped they didn't' feel like contractions i remembered with my son. talking with a friend decided to just go to bed and get some rest.. I was woken about 11 in more pain.. and I just said to myself this can't be fake but still didn't feel like contractions.. but i called DH anyway and left a message and told him That i thought I might be in labor that the pain was too great to not be.. I was bleeding more as well.. He called back after a short bit.. i got in the tub while on the phone with him to help me time them And i told him just to head out please so we can go. .and he said i don't want to drive out there to find out your not really in labor.. (uGH) i would of smacked him if he had been in person. I felt like he was arguing with me on being in labor and then he said if your that close then i won't make it have your mom bring you
and i just said no Get in the car and get over here please.. By the time i get everythign ready you'l be here.. then of course i was getting lectured about not having it already ready.. It was but i wanted to get dressed and put my tolietries that i have to use daily back in the suitcase and yes i'm weird but i put on my makeup before i left..

I called my mom to have her come stay with my son and after all the stress and chaos, finally i was getting in the car to leave.. with contractions 10 minutes apart.. This was about 1ish.. i was in major pain.. hurt to move walk stand sit everything.. it didn't feel like contractions still .. but i knew he was coming and Soon.. I remember thnking just get me there please now..


my mom stressed, stressed me out more i was crying and she was crying , i was scared and then with all the emotions with everything going on with DH that week with me i had that on my mind too.. Mom took me to the front of the neighboorhood to meet DH per his request .. Finally 1 30ish i was in DH's truck and on the freeway.. and I was about 5 minutes apart and calling the doc to let them know i was on my way in.
