Easter Weekend...

We had a pretty eventful Easter weekend. Friday I had a doctors appointment in the afternoon. They checked me and I am dilated to a 1.5 and 30 % effaced. The doctor wanted me to go in later that afternoon to the hospital to have a stress test because the umbilical cord is off to the side of the placenta instead of the center. I know there is a name for this, but can't remember what the doctor called it. Anyways they hooked me up to the monitors at the hospital, and I started contracting every 4 minutes. Nothing painful, but the nurse did not think I should leave the hospital. I was kind of scared at this point. I was all by myself, and for some reason I didn't feel ready for the baby to come.  They checked my cervix again, and I hadn't dilated anymore from my appointment. The hospital then called the doctors office, and they told them just to let me go home. I went and picked Matthew up after that, and we headed home for dinner. I contracted until about 10 that night, so we decided to call the hospital. Once again they weren't painful, so they told me just to stay home. We went to bed, and nothing ever ended up happening. Who knows we might get to meet our baby boy before we know it.
Saturday Matthew studied most the day because he has finals coming up soon. That night we went to the Vet school Junior preview. It was a show put on my the juniors that just made fun of students and staff. Easter Sunday we had stake conference, which was a broadcast from Salt Lake. We left early and we were able to get a soft bench to sit on, so I was able to make it through the two hours. We also enjoyed a yummy Easter dinner with our friends the Louder's. Thanks guys for a great meal. We had a wonderful Easter, and enjoyed the time we were able to spend together.
I love my Savior dearly. What a blessing it is to have the Atonement in our lives. I know that our Savior was resurrected and lives again. Because of this I know that I will someday be resurrected, and live again with our Heavenly Father. I am blessed to have this knowledge, and happiness in my life.
