The last 24 hours

I started having contractions last night around 8pm. For about 3 hours they were 20 minutes apart. Then they went to around 10 minutes apart. By 8 am this morning I decided to call my doctor and see if they could check me. They told me to come on in. So Bradley and I went with my hospital bag (just in case) to the doc. Doctor checked me- AND STILL NOT DIALATED! I mean seriously- what the heck were those contractions for? She said I am having contractions, they are just not dialating my cervix. She "helped me out" a little bit and then we did a u-sound to measure fluid. That was good and normal. Then had a nonstress test for baby. That was good and little girl's heart rate is fine. She's not in distress.

I was supposed to have an appt. tomorrow- but they did everything today. I go back Friday again for the same round of tests. I am officially scheduled to be induced on Monday, May 5th. If on Friday nothing has changed, they will admit me Sunday and induce then.

Un-freaking-believable!!!!
