Welcome To My Life!!! =]]

Well, everything was going fine. I was feeling great, Carter was moving like crazy!! He is gonna be a kick boxer or a break dancer, I know it! Haha. Well, on August 29th, I drove up to Yakima to pick up my man. After staying the night, we were planning on driving back to the Tri-Cities the next day. Around 1:30pm, I started getting contractions again. They started off as just tightening, then the progressed into menstrual cramp feelings along with the tightening. Gordon could feel my stomach tightening up too. So I was waiting for them to go away, and they didn't. After an hour, I called my doctor and they wanted me to come in before 4:00pm. So, we left for the Tri-Cities to go to the doctor. On the way, I started to time them. 5 minutes apart. 5 minutes apart. 5 minutes apart. Over and over. Then it went down to 3 minutes apart. I was freaking out because the pain was also getting worse. It wasn't bad at all, but it was still getting worse. So we got to the doctor and he wasn't too worried about it. Told me to keep hydrated, take it easy, not to do much, and if they got really uncomfortable, to go to the hospital and get checked and put on monitors. So me and Gordon went up to my grandma's to stay the night and the contractions did NOT go away. They kept getting stronger, they were consistent, and they were getting more painful. I tried walking around, laying down, sitting down, taking a shower, EVERYTHING, and nothing would make them go away. Finally, we just laid down around 2:00am and sometime after that, I fell asleep. The next morning when we woke up, they were gone, but my muscles HURT. I can tell you, I was so relieved they were gone AND HAVEN'T COME BACK, but I'm really scared to do anything. I don't want to have my baby this early. But as of now, everything is fine. I'm feeling great, and Carter is moving all over, doing flips and rolling around. =]] He's a strong boy..
