Baby update

It's been an interesting day! Once we arrived at the hospital, they took us to triage and ran a bunch of tests. They did confirm that my water broke. Around 8am they said we could leave, go for a walk, get breakfast, etc. since I wasn't in active labor. At this point my contractions were 4-5 minutes a part. They suggested coming back once my contractions were more intense and frequent.

We went to breakfast, most likely Tim and I's last breakfast alone for a while. Then drove back to the hospital, parked our car and walked to College Ave. We shopped around for a while and even decided to see a movie at 12:30pm since things hadn't really progressed much. The movie was terrible, but at least we weren't in the hospital. We both tried taking a quick nap. Who would have thought we'd have a date night while in the middle of labor!

We then went back to the hospital around 2pm and luckily had a wonderful nurse, Tanya, who discussed all of our options with us. If we had been admitted, they would have wanted to give me pitocin in a couple of hours to get things going. Since we didn't want to be induced, we decided to come home.

We got home around 2:30pm and are just trying to lay low until things get more intense. Hopefully, she will come soon!
