UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!

Carson tricked us.

Sunday night at about 6:30, contractions started at 5 minutes apart like clock-work, and they were totally the real thing. They weren't so painful that I couldn't talk through them yet, but after a few hours, I called my mom to give her an update, since I knew if she were coming she would have to change her flight. By 9:45, they were still strong and mom hopped on a plane. Unfortunately, by 1 a.m. they had totally stalled and I was only getting a couple an hour. They went from 5-4 minutes apart to nothing just like that. So frustrating. So, since we were all up until about 4 in the morning, I took yesterday off and me and mom went shopping and walked all day, which spurred more contractions, but nothing substantial. I'm back at work today and I am totally cranky because I would much rather be in the hospital right now - ha - that's funny. In any case, mom is here now, so when I do go into labor, I won't have to worry if Carson comes quickly. I figure with all of those contractions, we must have made some progress. We have our regular appointment Thursday morning, but here's hoping for hospital food soon. :) We'll let you all know as soon as anything exciting happens!

On a brighter note, be praying for our friend's David & Staci. They are in the hospital being induced as we speak. Be praying for a healthy baby, a happy mom and a safe delivery. Can't wait to meet Julia Faith!!

I wonder why some people have such strong false labor.
Carson must really like it in there. Good luck!!! I will be praying for a safe and fast delivery.

UGHH!!! I was wondering about you all day yesterday. Didn't see you online and was wondering if that was it. Oh well....here's hoping for hospital food (yuck) soon!!! Glad your mom is here with you now. Maybe that is what Carson was waiting for ;)

I'm so sorry you had false labor. Talk about annoying! I was very lucky to never have false labor. And Colton was 4 days early. He was very good to me. Well, we will continue to pray. It's nice that your mom is there. Mom's are definitely the BEST! Hurry up Carson, everybody is getting ancy to meet you!
