Labor and Delivery: FAIL

I hope everyone's New Year's was amazing!! So, little Landon Alexander decided to give mommy and daddy a scare on the first day of the year. Yep, 1/1/2011, saw us in the P.E.T Unit in Saint Barnabas Hospital. I was leaking and feeling contractions since New Year's Eve but on New Year's morning, I was still contracting and leaking. So, off to the hospital we went to make sure I wasn't leaking amniotic fluid. I got there and went straight up to the 3rd floor. They gave me my beautiful gown and hooked me up to baby monitors. I got to hear his heartbeat for 30 minutes, so that was awesome! Got swabbed and checked and nothing is wrong. Contractions are apparently normal now. As long as they don't get stronger and more frequent I'm fine! And extra discharge is ok, too. So, an hour later, mommy and daddy were back home. Yep, I'm birthing quite the funny man....takes after his father. So, false alarm 1 has been recorded! Hopefully we won't get another alarm for another 6-10 weeks. Needless to say, I felt like a jackass. But, better safe than sorry!

  2. Don't feel like a jackass, you dork, you're a first time mom! I'd be hysterical if I was in your shoes and it seems like you handled it like a champ.

  3. @ Soraya: Yes, little peanut was just trying to be funny. He knows he would get a spankin' if he came out THAT early!
    @ Lemon Lime: It's hard not to feel like a jackass when you get a 500$ bill for a false alarm lol
