Contractions

Instead of making a new post all day long I am just going to update on this post for you guys to read. So when you check back throughout the day you can see what is going on.

2:00am: Woke up with contractions. Laid in bed for an hour feeling them.
3:00am: Decided to start timing my contractions. 8 minutes apart lasting a little over a minute each.
4:00am: Stopped timing them and tried to get some sleep
5:00am: Gave up on trying to sleep and got in the bath tub to relax and started timing them again. 4 minutes apart lasting about 50 seconds each.
5:45am: Got out of the bath and Allen and I finished packing and got something to eat hoping we would get ready leave for the hospital.
6:00am: Contractions started slowing down and are again about 8 minutes apart.
7:30am: Allen and I went for a brisk walk and curbing hoping that it will increase my contractions again. Contractions now really slowing down about 15 minutes apart.
8:00am: Allen and I went back to bed to try to get some sleep in between contractions. Still about 15 minutes apart.
10:30am: Woke up from sleeping. Was continually having them every 15 minutes and resting between each contraction. Got out of bed to start moving around. Contractions started speeding up.
11:30am: Contractions slowing down again. Back to every 15 minutes. GRRRRR!
12:00pm: I have now been having contractions for 10 hours and still 15 minutes apart. Are they going to speed back up or continue like this or stop altogether? So frustrating!
2:15pm: Thought my water broke.
2:45pm: Arrived at hospital and I was hooked up to the machines.
4:30pm: I was told that I would be admitted and that I would be staying, contractions are two to four minutes apart.
5:00pm: Received iv and it didn't hurt.
5:15pm: Checked cervix dilated to a four.
5:30pm: received Epidural and feeling great.
6:45pm: Effaced 90% still dilated to a Four.
7:45pm: The babies heart rate dropped the nurse checked the cervix dilated to a five.
9:45pm: Dilated to a seven and going strong
