failed attempt

First off, I know the sound isn't working on the video I posted last night. Brandon has to figure out whats going on with it so bear with us while we get it fixed...and be sure to check back later to watch it...it's totally worth it, I promise.

So Brandon and I went to bed last night about 10:00. As we laid there talking, I began having contractions at 10:30. They weren't too bad at first but as the night went on, they got more intense and closer. At about midnight, I decided to go sit on the couch. For one, to let Brandon sleep and for two b/c I was so uncomfortable lying flat. From about 1 to 1:30, the contractions stopped but once they came back they were anywhere from 2-5 minutes apart and this time they were going around to my back. A little after 2, I decided to wake Brandon up and ask him if he thought we should go to the hospital or if I should call to see what they said. I called and the nurse told me that I should probably come in to at least get checked and be monitored. Brandon immediately popped out of bed and got ready. He is terrified of me having this baby at home. Thankfully that is highly unlikely! He called his mom, who thankfully came over to be with the girls and we were off to the hospital. Got to the hospital and from 3 to 6, I was having some pretty intense contractions. I wasn't making much progress, but the contractions were still there. At 6:00, I got up to go pee and the contractions just disappeared, like someone flipped the switch off. Sooooo disappointing. My Dr came in at 7 and said if there had been no change, that I should just go home. Of course there was no change and I got sent home. I'm bummed, not to mention extremely tired. I got zero sleep last night. At all. I really thought I was actually going to do the whole labor thing on my own, without pitocin. No such luck. My body failed me. Now we will continue to wait...
