Scary Situation

Well last night we had ourselves quite a scare. I noticed late in the day that I was having a lot of lower back pain , then it seemed to creep into my lower abdomen as well and it felt like intense menstrual cramps. SOOOOO I was really worried that I was going into labor, and seeing that I'm only 31 weeks along, it is really too early for her to come. She would be very premature. I tried to call my momma, and Shamanda, but nobody was answering. Next I resorted to the internet as I called my stepmom (who was a huge help). Ultimately I decided to wait it out instead of call the doctor or visit the hospital. But the contractions and back pain didn't go away. In fact the contractions seemed more destinct. So I ended up texting my friend JoAnn to see what she thought and she said that she had this happen to her when she was pregnant and they told her to drink two large glasses of water and then lay on my left side to see if the contractions subsided. and they did! Thank God. As it turns out I didn't drink near enough water yesterday. Especially since I've been doing so much extra physical excercise here lately. I thank God for stopping the contractions and allowing my sweet little Alexis the extra time she needs in momma's belly. As much as I want to meet her, I certainly don't want her to be in any danger.
