It all started last night when I went to get my hair done...silly me, being so vane! :) I started having contractions and by the time I was home and on the couch resting, I'd had 10 in 2 hours! Yipes! At that point I told myself, if you have ONE more, call and go on. Of course, then they stopped. However, I woke up a few times during the night from contactions and just felt off. Contractions continued this morning, but not frequent and consisent like before. I called to go in and Susan was able to see me at 10.
She put me on the monitors for a few minutes and then sent me up to L & D to be observed for a few hours. My contractions ended up picking up a ton and she gave me some meds to stop the contractions. They worked for a good hour and a half at which point I had a few mild ones, and then just some irritation. After being observed for 4 1/2 hrs. she decided to send me home on modified bed rest (or just "take it easy" in Susan's words) and instructions to come back in if I have 2 consecutive hours of contractions again. I'll be 36 weeks next Thursday, at which point she won't try to stop anything. Maybe this baby will be here sooner rather than later!
But please pray that it isn't before next week! Let's let this little guy cook for as long as we can!

We'll be thinking of you! Just have a relaxing holiday! :)
Wow--I hope that you don't have to spend another night/day like that (until the little one is ready to join us!).
Enjoy taking it easy. Did you inform Olivia of this? ;) Bed rest when you have kids is like an oxymoron.
Yea, she doesn't get it...or appreciate it! :) At least family is down to keep her occupied and happy!
