Once I got home from work my contractions started to actually really hurt and not just be uncomfortable. They have gotten progressively worse and closer together. Waiting for my BIL to get here to stay with DD and we will head to hospital. This is the longest wait of my life. I did call the doc and she said she thought it was too early for hospital like an hour ago which is why we decided to wait. DD knows something is going on and won't fall asleep so this is going to make leaving hard I think.
I will keep you ladies posted
UPDATE
Got to the hospital and water broke 10 minutes later so they admitted but I was only a 3. Walked for 40 min and checked and I was a 5. Contractions got crazy strong and frequent during walk. Just got epidural in and feeling amazing. What was I thinking last time?! There was merconium in the water so I have that on my mind but the nurses and doctor don't seem worried so I'm trying to stay calm too.
Update 2
She's here! Pay.ton Chel.sea arrived this morning 6/18 at 6:19AM. She's 6lbs 10oz and absolutely perfect. It was a long night but the epidural allowed me to rest a bit and I didn't have to push for too long. I'm absolutely exhausted but will update with a birth story when I get some rest.
