....................................and NOTHING to show for them! :

They were coming 2-3 minutes apart last night, anywhere from 35-60 seconds long but I wanted to wait it out so we didn't go in to the hospital. At my appt yesterday my doc didn't check me so last I know I was 1 cm dilated and I just didn't want to get down there and be sent home because I was not yet the 3 cm you have to be to be kept (though w/ my 1st DS they wouldn't keep me til 4 cm- even worse!)

Today I have been having some here and there- nothing like last night though. We'll see what the rest of the night may bring (once the boys are in bed and DH and I can get some alone time! )

So, that's it...I'm still here and still pregnant. A May baby it is for me!

Oh, wait, on the plus side...at my next appt my doc will talk about induction if I make it that far- and they sched them 7-10 days before your due date. That puts me having her for sure anytime between Mother's Day and the 15th of May (depending on when he is on-call) if she doesn't come by then on her own! There IS a light at the end of the tunnel!

I've been in and out of early labour since Sunday. Definitely frustrating at times. But it will make your baby-producing labour a lot easier!
