Excitement just makes you sleepy...

So poor Tim is probably had a very lousy day today... yesterday was pretty calm. We went to Smokey Bones for dinner. It is in York, PA so it was a bit of a drive....but the food was really good! Apparently there is one near my parent's house in Florida so they knew that they liked it... Tim and I came home and went to sleep almost right away.

I woke up at 2:00 a.m. with really bad stomach cramps. When your a pregnant stomach issues are really weird because our stomach is squished up under your ribs so instead of a tummy ache it feels like one of your lungs is about to explode... My back started hurting too and I knew it was going to be a long night. I didn't want to call the doctor because they really isn't much they can do and well if I can't sleep at least someone else deserves to!

I tried laying, sitting, standing, etc to get rid of the cramps... and then I attempted to take a hot shower but nothing worked. Tim was very sweet and rubbed my back for me and kept me company while I whined... Finally I told myself that if it didn't stop hurting by 4 am I was going to call the doctor. So at 4 I talked to Dr.Wienreb and he said it was probably labor. He told me to try walking around and that when the pain got to be too much to go to the hospital and call him.

I almost didn't tell Tim because I was pretty convinced that I wasn't in labor and I didn't want to get him excited but I wanted to walk and I couldn't go by myself so I told him to get up. I googled contractions to see if something would describe what they felt like and the only thing I learned was that if they were real contractions they would increase with physical activity. That sealed the deal and at 4:15 I dragged Tim out the door to go for a walk. He was a very good sport and walked with me for 40 minutes! We came back in the house close to 5 and my stomach didn't hurt anymore...go figure. So we waited for a little bit to make sure it didn't come back and then we went to sleep.

Poor Tim's cell phone rang at 9:30 and it was Russ. He needed Tim to come into work... it never fails. The only time he gets called in is when I have some sort of issue and keep him up all night! He was a pretty good sport about it but I know he had to be frustrated!! He is on his way home now and I am making corn on the cob for dinner. We are going to eat corn and hot dogs and then we are going to watch Night at the Museum. I know its a kids movie but I really want to see it...
