See my counter?

It says I only have 4 days to go. We'll just see about that.

So, this weekend so far has been very eventful. I though that I was going into labor yesterday. When I went to the Dr last Monday, I was dilated to a 3, with a "mushy" cervix. So when I was having contractions yesterday I was afraid that I was moving along more than I really was. I called my doula in the morning, and she came out shortly for support. We went for walks, cleaned the house, and she massaged my feet. The whole time my contractions were going and going. Then they just decided to slow down. When I would stop, they would stop. Even though, I still had weird feelings inside me. I really had no idea what I was feeling. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had been induced, so I don't have the background to know what "real" labor is like.

I ended up calling the guys in the morning as well. They drove here from San Jose (which is where they are staying). Turns out, it was all for nothing. I was talking to them about this, and I feel very nervous about them being so far away. I hate to keep calling them and have it be false labor. On the other hand, what if I call them too late, and then they miss the whole thing? I would hate for that to happen. Of course the guys tell me to just call and not worry about it. I know, I know, I know. I just feel bad. Same thing with my doula. That's what she's there for, but she was away from her family all day yesterday. I just have to get over all this. It will be over soon anyway, and then I'm going to be posting that I'm sad it's over. So I might as well just enjoy this time I have left.

I have another Dr appt tomorrow, so hopefully there will be some news either way. Oh, we ended up going to the hospital yesterday. Turns out I was only at a 3 1/2ish. So, not really much progress. All those contractions yesterday did nothing to my cervix. Good thing I was not in that much pain, otherwise next time I'd change my mind and ask for an epidural upon arrival.
