Madelyn Skye is so ready to meet the world and isn't wanting to wait until March 11th...
Thursday, I had my regular OB doctor appointment and growth scan. Everything looked excellent and Madelyn weighed in at 5 pounds 9 ounces. Holy cow, I can't believe she weighs that much already; however, that's awesome. They did a cervical exam and said my cervix is starting to soften, too. Baby and I are doing well. My feet and legs are swollen but my blood pressure is good. I go back Tuesday for my normal weekly checkup.
After the appointment, David and I went to Frankie's Fun Park for Valentine's Day and really enjoyed it. It was bittersweet because it was our last Valentine's as just us... After playing, David ordered take-out from Texas Roadhouse and David, momma, I had a very nice dinner at home. I no longer can eat out because the tables are too low and I cannot bend over, haha. Dinner was sooo good though. I love my man!
Right when I was finishing up eating I began having contractions that quickly increased in frequency and intensity accompanied by a tremendous amount of pressure. They were 3 minutes apart lasting 2 minutes. I leaked something what I thought was my water. I tried walking to help relieve some pressure. My sister came over and really helped me through the contractions. We got to the hospital about 10:30. The contractions were extremely hard. My cervix had not changed so they monitored me, checked to see if my water had broke which it hadn't, and offered me pain medicine that I denied (I really don't do well with medicines). Madelyn didn't like the contractions because her little heart rate would jump to the 190's during a contraction- poor baby. They started slowing down and I got discharged around 2am. The nurse said the contractions were real, very steady and she didn't think it'd be long before I had this baby... I'd really really prefer to wait until my c-section to AVOID this labor deal but I guess Madelyn will come when she wants to.... I'm still having contractions and an unbelievable amount of pressure. It hurts so bad... Dangit!
I'll post Tuesday after my appointment.
