So I am finally blogging about Nikko coming into our world :)
The weekend of November 8th, my appetite pretty much completely disappeared. My Mom arrived on November 7th! Through out the weekend, my Mom cooked and I really felt like eating NOTHING. I remember telling Paabs that with no appetite, I figured that I would go into labor within the next couple of days.
Sunday night - 11.09.08
I kept waking up to contractions about every hour. They were not very painful, just enough pain to wake me up. I was also leaking some fluid, but not very much. I called the Dr and they suggested that I go to Labor and Delivery to make sure it was not amniotic fluid.

I went with my sister and mom to Labor and Delivery around noon - everything checked out okay and I was discharged and was dilated to 1.5cm.
So we continued on our day - got some lunch and did a little shopping. When we came home, we all went for a quick walk. Then it was time for dinner - and again, I had no desire to eat anything. Later that night my Mom, Paabs, and I were watching TV. Around 8:30pm I started to have contractions about six minutes apart. Again, they were not painful. Around 11:30pm, they were still 5-6 minutes apart, but the pain was progressing!
I woke up Pablo and my Mom and we headed to St. Mary's. They checked me in - got me situated in the room. They checked me and again I was still only dilated to 1.5-2.0cm. After two hours - and painful contractions, they sent me home with an Ambien to try and sleep.
Ambien may help people to sleep, but not when you are having painful contractions every 4 minutes!! Not to mention that I could barely walk to the car - every time I had a contraction, I had to stop walking. They told me that if the contractions got more painful or if my water broke to come back - All I kept thinking was - THEY ARE GOING TO GET WORSE???

Since I was not dilated very far - and this was my first baby - The hospital must have thought I would take awhile to dilate - Doctors can be WRONG!!!

yay i'm glad you liked it, i actually altered it from the recipe I got it from also. Rob and I made it again later with pizza sauce cheese and pepperoni. He put too much sauce on his so it leaked a little but mine worked great.
