Constantly Ending Contractions

First and foremost I would like to say “What up” to my dear friend Tight Lavender.  Keep it sexy, like you do.

WOW, I had no idea the birthing process could be so intense, and, my kid hasn’t even arrived yet.   About four days ago my wife started having her first contractions, not Braxton Hicks, real ones. They started around 10:30 pm and we started walking around the neighborhood to try to increase their intervals and strength.  After about an hour of strolling we went home and my wife took a bath while the contractions continued to come about every 6-4 minutes.  While she was in the bath I was restless with excitement and anxiety so I vacuumed the whole house and swept all the floors.  During this I continuously check on her in the bath asking how far apart the contractions were and if there is anything I could do for her.  After she was done with her bath we went for another walk because the contractions were starting to dissipate while the desire to extract the baby increased.  While walking, the contractions continued but my wife kept saying that they weren’t strong enough.  We made it home around 130 am and watch TV while the contractions continued.  Tired from all the walking we went to bed to relax and monitor the contractions.  They continued but much to our disappointment they slowly stopped.  Two nights ago we went to a movie (knocked up) and close to the end of the movie, roughly 11: 45 pm, her contractions came back and they were stronger.  We finished the movie and drove home looking for bumpy roads on the way.  Once home we went for a walk, my excited was extremely annoying to my wife and she asked me to shut up multiple times using language that I promised google ads I wouldn’t use on this blog.  When we came home from the walk, the contractions were about 3 – 5 minutes apart.  As they continued to occur my wife jumped in to the shower because she wanted to be clean if we went to the hospital.  At about 3 am my wife contacted her doctor, explained the situation and he told us to come in to the hospital.  We packed up the car and arrived at the hospital at about 3:30 am.  Once there, they hooked my wife up to machines that monitored the babies heart beat and her contractions.  This went on for about an hour and a half.  I fell asleep on the counter while we waited for the doc to come and examine her.  The doc arrived at about 5 am did the examination and informed us that she was 1 centimeter dilated.  His advice was to go home and wait there because it could be a while before any major activity takes place.   We arrived home around 6:15 am and crashed in to bed.  Her contractions continued but once again stopped.  Worn out by anticlimactic activity my wife realized that the baby would come when it’s ready and there is nothing she can do until then except to focus on tasks at hand.  So today we finished the babies nursery, which is truly awesome.  Our attention has been past on to new clients and necessary updates to www.FatherNursery.com, which is getting an updated custom Rooms page soon and will display more of our work.
