A little scare

So, we had a little scare last night. I was having contractions that started off 5-6 minutes apart for a couple of hours and ended up being 2-3 minutes. So I called the hospital to see what they think I should do and they told me to come in. So, we got there and I was dilated to a 2 and 80 percent effaced. After they monitored me for a while and gave me some pain meds my doctor was able to come in and check me and I was dilated to a 3. But, he wanted to keep monitoring me to see if my contractions would go away and they did....for the most part, so they sent me home. They weren't nearly as frequent and strong as they were earlier in the night/morning, but I am still having contractions a few times an hour. But they said if I reach the point where I am having contractions every 3-5 minutes and last for about 60 seconds and I can't tolerate it than I should come back in. So far that hasn't happened and I hope I don't jinx it by saying it. :) Anyways, I just hope Gracey stays in there a little bit longer. I will keep you all updated though...
