It was morning, and I was petrified of having the baby at home with just the kids. I called my husband, and my step mom. Everything stopped right after I called, for about an hour. Everyone got here, and my contractions were irregular. We ate lunch, got the kids going on school lessons. Finally, my husband, who was off work, wanted to go in. He had me call, and the doctor wanted me to go in. Even as I pulled up to the hospital, I thought they might send me home. My husband brought in the bags and I said, "you could have left them." I had just seen a couple with a fully pregnant woman leaving with a cart full of stuff, she had just been checked and sent home. Well, we checked in and 5 hours later I was holding my baby. It's really hard for us "grand mulitparas" to be able to tell when it's real because it feels real for days. Good luck getting to the hospital in time with not too much time. I personally wish I would have waited two more hours, there was way too much intervention and internal checking for my taste. Just a few more hours. Blessings to you and hopes you have a wonderful delivery. On the day I had Jillian, I recall sitting at the computer timing those contractions.
