Baby Maxwell Update

So the superbowl didnt go as planned and the colts lost....I almost made it through the end of the game...but I was having horrible back pain and contractions. So at the hospitol they hook me up to the monitors, and my contractions are nice and long at 8 minutes apart.....UGH 8 Minutes??? Sure felt a lot closer than that. :) But I am dialated to 3, so cant you just keep and have me walk for like 5 hours???? Nope....sent me home with an ambien and told me to come back when they are 5 minutes apart.

So today was my 38 week check and I am dialated a little past 3 but not quite 4. She said she doesnt think she will see me back next week for my next appt. AND today contractions have been pretty consistent at 6 to 7 minutes apart. SO Getting very close to meeting my new love!!! I cannot wait to meet you Maxwell Carter Keys! You are a miracle!!!!

Cast a Vote!
