Hospital scare: August 1st

So Saturday was my best friend, Kassi's baby shower. I've been looking forward to it for a while and was really excited to get in baby mode! That feeling was was interrupted however by some unexpected bleeding. I got really scared and called my aunt Jess to ask about it. She said we had to get me to the hospital and check it out so she dropped everything, came and picked me up, and we went to Jordan Valley. They wheeled me up to the Woman's Center and I had to fill out some paperwork (fun!) and they hooked me up to some monitors to check the baby's heartbeat and look at contractions. Everything looked great but this doctor said she needed to check my cervix or something and she did (it was freaking painful and that jelly stuff was cold and burned!). I wasn't dilated, luckily and she said the baby was posterior. Doctor's final orders: no sex, drink plenty of liquids, and empty bladder at least every two hours. Yeah and then she said my job from now on is to basically drink and pee. Fun stuff...
