Contractions and Robberies

Well, yesterday my mother called me and was very upset. My mind immediately jumped to conclusions thinking that something had happened to someone in the family. Instead I was just as horrified at her telling me that she had just gotten home and their house had been broken into. I am not sure yet how this makes me feel. After years of living there and not a single thing happening and then all of a sudden yesterday someone goes through the entire house looking for something, but as far as they can tell takes nothing. What is going on with that? Needless to say my mom feels very violated at this time and is still quite upset. Well, once she called Caleb and I left our house immediately to go over to hers and as we were driving down the road I began feeling them. Yes, they were contractions...not just the mild ones either. I pushed them to the side of my thoughts though...I didn't have time for that right now. Once we got to the house and found out what we could. We just waited. By this time I could feel them coming more frequently. I pulled my sister-in-law aside and asked her what she thought was going on. She said they could be real contractions or they could be braxton-hicks. She said to call the doc and see what they say. So I did, and they said to just go on into the hospital and get checked out just to make sure. When we got hooked up to the monitor at the hospital they were coming about every 4 minutes. The nurse said we weren't dilating though. So, after 4 hours of contractions and 2 IV bags, they ask if they think I can sleep through them. I figure if the baby isn't coming right now, I would much rather be at home anyway, so sleep or not I was going home. Now today I am still having them, they are a bit more hit and miss. We go to the doc again in the morning, so hopefully we can figure something out then.

Other than that, all is going well. Caleb is working right now. Jeremy is sleeping, he is still looking for a house to buy. I have resigned myself to the fact that he is going to be here when the baby is born. I guess that is not a bad thing, it is just going to be a bit more stressful. But hopefully the boys will be willing to pick up after themselves a little bit more!
