And so it begins...

We mangaged to find a high-risk OB who agreed to take me on this late in the game. We weren't sure about him at first, since he initially wanted to induce me between 39 and 40 weeks. However, we met with him again and had a much better experience. However, all of that is a moot point (moo-point for you "Friends" fans) because Jonathan has decided to initiate things early! Since Monday (26th) afternoon I have been having regular but minor contractions. I thought I just ate something bad since they did not at all feel like what everyone described! Chris stayed home with me on Wednesday and we ended up going in to St. Joe's for monitoring. The nurse said the reason I am so uncomfortable, even though the contractions are minor, is because his head is really low! They monitored me for an hour, made me walk the halls for an hour then figured out nothing had progressed in that time. I am only at a 1 or 2, so it could be awhile, or it could be tomorrow! We did stop at Babies 'R' Us and get those last few items just in case. We also did all the packing I have been putting off! So now, we wait. Watch your email this week for updates and unless I need to have an emergency C-Section, you are more than welcome to come visit me in the hospital and meet Jonathan! P.S. I would like to send a BIG thanks to my mom for her genes, since I apparently did the same thing to her for 3 days before I was born! :P
