This Is It!!!

So last night I went into L&D because I was having contractions and the stupid nurse said that I was pretty much faking the contractions and to go home that I wasn't in labor and she didn't see me going into labor in the next few days. Well I went to my dr's appt today and I was really discouraged because I haven't been dialating and Im having all these contractions. Well she checked me and Im offically a 1!!!!! I told her about last night and that I was still fully closed at 12am and she said that I was in early labor! They hooked me up and Im having contractions that are 3-4 minutes apart, but not strong enough for them to keep me there at the hospital. My dr told me to walk as much as possible and that would help me dialate. She also said that she honestly thought that we would have a baby by tomorrow, but no later than this weekend! Im so HAPPY!!!!! Im about to go and walk and see if we can get these contractions to get STRONG!!!
So I am on labor, but we haven't went into the hospital yet as this is my first and I don't want to be there for hours and hours... although I know that I will be anyways. Anywho, my contractions picked my overnight last night and I had some that were waking me from a dead sleep and then my body would get used to them and I could sleep again. I got up this afternoon (labor is exausting and Im only like 28 hours or so into it) and went walking with my MIL to try and get my contractions more intense. It worked! We then went and ate and by the time I was done I felt like a pig lol! I had 21 pieces of butterfly shrimp, 2 full house salads, 1/2 of a fondue thingy, and a 2 biscuits... and I still wasn't full! We went to wal-mart and picked up some stuff that we needed and walked every isle to help with the contractions. By the time we left the store I was having to lean on the shelves and basket when I would have a contraction because I was in so much pain. We came home and I went to bed because I was so tired. I woke up around 12am because my contractions were so strong and they were hard in my back. I called my hubby to help me turn onto my other side and discovered that it hurt too much to even move so my hubby went and got my MIL and she came in and helped me turn and then rubbed my back to help with the pain of the contractions. They are about 2-3 minutes apart and hurt bad, but Im just not ready to go in yet. I really hope that we will have a baby by the end of today or tomorrow!
