Contractions started!!

Well, with Cas, my labor happened fairly quickly and fast. Wade and I were out buying "hospital" cigars at Specs for Wade to hand out to visitors, then I started to feel pressure, my water broke and within the hour I was already at the hospital hooked up to the monitors. I never felt any pain during labor with her, as they gave me an Epidural early on (against my wish).

Fast forward to Lacie .... as I have mentioned, I have been feeling a lot of pressure, and early Sunday morning, contractions started. Around 1:30am I started having Braxton Hicks, and then by 3:00am the real contractions started from my lower back and wrapped around to my front. Each lasted about 1 min and they came every 5-6 minutes. It was quite comical, as Wade had his track stop watch out ... crazy boy!! Finally we decided it may be time to go to the hospital, and as I began to get ready, they stopped. Yesterday I did not feel well, but today I have felt much better. Thank goodness, because I still needed to get the car washed, complete all the laundry and load the house up with groceries. So ... now I can officially say I am ready for Lacie to arrive. Once Wade gets home from work this evening, we will be taking a long family walk. I will see Dr. W in the morning, so I am anxious to hear if I dilated more over the weekend.

Getting EXCITED!!!
