Beckam's Birthday

It started on Monday, February 22nd, I was dialated to 3 at my doctor's appointment and started to feel regular contractations that night... but they were gone by morning.

I started to feel more by Wednesday the 24th, so I went to the hospital and they said I was dialated to 5 and could be admitted if I wanted. My husband and I decided to make sure I was making progress instead, so after a couple hours of walking laps and flights of stairs at the hospital, I got checked again. Much to my chagrin I hadn't made any real progress, so we headed home to get some sleep.

I woke up the morning of my due date depressed. I wasn't feeling anything, and started to think I would be pregnant for a couple more weeks. So I sent Nick off to work. About an hour later, I started to feel some contractions, but I wrote them off, and watched TV a little more. When they kept up, I decided to draw myself a bath. The contractions quickly intensified, and after about a half hour of regular 2 to 3 minute apart contractions, I called Nick. He didn't answer. After another call and a text, I called him at work and said, "Get home!" About five minutes later we were off...
