I had some pain in my left side on Saturday that reminded me of the kidney stone I had when pregnant with the mini and it lasted over 12 hours, so I called the hospital and they told me to come in for some monitoring. We got there and they hooked me up to a fetal monitor as well as a contraction monitor. After about an hour, I started contracting and eventually wound up with contractions every 2-3 minutes. However, I had no other "labor" symptoms, so we think that whatever was causing the pain in my lower left side was irritating my uterus. Anyway, they pumped me full of anti-biotics and I spent the night at the hospital. By Easter morning I was feeling much better and the contractions had tapered off, so they let me come home, with the admonishment to "take it easy." How do they expect a stay-at-home-mom to do that? At least I was not put on bedrest. I was glad not to have to stay in the hospital, but somewhat sad that I missed seeing the mini wake up to find her Easter basket.
Luckily for us, some wonderful friends let us bring the mini over to their house for her very first sleep-over. DH took a bag of her things, as well as her basket, so that she would have something when she woke up. Our friends then got her dressed in her Easter outfit and took her to church, where DH met up with everyone. I stayed home in bed.
I didn't miss out on everything, though. We set up an egg hunt in our backyard, and the Easter Bunny left a trail of jelly beans up the stairs to her room, where she discovered that he also brought her a brand new bicycle! So I got to see all of that, happily. I'll post pictures another time. I hope everyone else had a much less eventful, but joyous Easter!
