At least we'll know exactly where to go and what to do when it's time to go to the hospital for real, whenever that may be.
Jessica was having contractions Friday night and Saturday morning. They were regular but not severe (easy for me to say, but that's by her own admission) and got to 5 minutes apart on Saturday. We called the doctor and he figured that with her already dilated and contractions close together we should come in to get checked out. Turns out things hadn't changed from Wednesday's checkup.
Instead of sending us home, they had us walk around for 2 hours. Really only Jessica had to walk, but me being the supportive husband that I am, I walked with her. Of course I was really trying to find a TV with the basketball games on, but that's besides the point.
So after becoming experts on the hallways of the hospital and learning that Ohio State had beaten Memphis (the baby had picked Texas A&M to win that game, but more on baby's tournament picks in a future post), another checkup revealed no more progress and we came home.
Hopefully the real thing comes soon. Sundown tomorrow is the cutoff date for a boy, otherwise there will be a bris on Passover and who ever heard of matzah and lox?
