Update from previous post: Nathan is not here yet, everything is fine!
36 weeks, 1 day! I've officially hit the 9th month mark!
Sorry it's been so long, I haven't been feeling too well this past week. I've been so tired and my hands are just getting more numb by the day. I've been drinking a lot of water lately and the pain in my arms seems to have lessened but I still can't feel anything with my fingers and my hands still get very stiff and sore. Even just typing this small paragraph has made my hands hurt :(
My OB gave me the "ok" for the Macrobid so I've been on that. I'll be finished with them tomorrow night.
As for our little scare early this morning... Around midnight last night I started having what felt like regular contractions. They woke me up and I stayed awake the rest of the night. I woke my husband up around 3am and he got out his iPod Touch and fired up the contraction timer app. We headed to the hospital around 4:45am. My contractions were around 4 to 7 minutes apart and lasting about a minute. They hooked me up to all the monitors and sure enough, contractions were being recorded. The doctor checked me internally and I was 1cm dilated but everything else was normal. She also told me she had a feeling the contractions would just peter out since they weren't getting any stronger and yup, they eventually faded away. We got home around 6:30am and finally got some sleep.
Gotta go let my hands rest. More later :)
