Saturday morning around 4:30 AM, I woke up feeling a few contractions. I didn't think much of it at first, I thought it was possibly just stomach cramps or Braxton Hicks, but then the pain started to intensify and occur frequently. I knew something was up so I called my sister Kayla (who is a nurse) to get her opinion. She told me that I needed to head to the hospital and so about an hour later I was checked in in the Family Birthing Center. My contractions were occuring every 4 minutes, and my cervix was dilating. I was told that I was being admitted for the day and baby Lillie was going to be making her arrivial! Chris and I were both very excited, and maybe just a tad bit nervous. ;) We were really looking forward to finally being able to see our little girl, but unfortunately after dilating to 3 cm, my labor stopped progressing. We think it's because I took a warm bath in the jetted tub in the hospital, and it relaxed me a little too much. I was sent home, and now it feels that the contractions have stopped completely. Although I was a little bummed that I wasn't able to have Lillie, I know it's healthier for her to cook as long as she can! I think she was just making a statement, telling the world that she is going to do whatever she wants, when she wants to. Maybe we're in for some trouble!! The doctors said that it could be anywhere from later that evening, to a week before labor continues. It has been 2 days now, so we are just patiently waiting. We will see what my OB says when I go in for a check up on Wednesday, if I make it that long! :)
