I am truly enjoying my maternity leave so far. However, all the extra time on my hands makes me even more anxious for the baby to come. We went to the doctor today and he told me again, we need to get that baby out! I started having contractions on Tuesday afternoon and they lasted about 2 hours. They went back and forth between being 5 and 10 minutes apart. We went for a walk to see if they would continue and they stopped. Jarrett told me that night that he wasn't mentally ready for the baby so I couldn't have him yet. I told my doctor about the contractions and he told me that the next time I get contractions that are consistent to head to the hospital and they would check me out and possibly help me along. He didn't seem worried about how far apart they were, just that they were consistent. I've been having them today so we'll see what happens!
