Last Night

So yesterday wasn't the best day. I had some mild contractions all day and lots of errands to run. By the time that Jeff came home the contractions had come pretty close together. I was having them every three minuets for over an hour. We packed a bag and went to the hospital. Grrrr so much pain from around 6 p.m. til they sent us home at 10 p.m. Unfortunately although I was having painful contractions every three min for four hours they weren't doing much to dial ate me. They gave me a shot to calm my uterus and some pills to help me sleep. The contractions did eventually stop about and hour later, although they are back more softly and sporadically this morning. The killer part was the sleeping medicine though. It was awful. I felt like those poor people who go under for surgery and can't move or talk but are TOTALLY AWAKE! Jeff thought I was out last night but I was awake almost the entire night. Only when the drugs started to wear off in the morning was I able to get some actual sleep. Uggg as if the evening wasn't bad enough. To top it all off I got a preview of my new crappy hospital. It would seem that, through choices that are not my own, I am going to hit all the hospitals in the area. This time I am at the crummiest. I have visited people here before and was always glad I wasn't in one of those closets. Well now it's my turn, but not last night. Should be interesting to see how the next few days and weeks go.

P.S. props to Jeff for always saying and doing the right thing. I was worried that my visiting teacher would be doing the dishes or cleaning while she was watching the kids last night. When I was brought home by Jeff I was only half aware of anything and asked him if she had cleaned. He said no, and I was so relieved only to come in to a spotless kitchen this morning. He said he told me what I needed to hear to get to bed. Too True. Just another reason he is gonna be Jeffrey Spike.
