Days or Weeks? It's anyone's guess

Friday night I had dinner with Amy & Jason and then Amy and I went shopping for a little while. While we were walking around I started to have some contractions. I went home and drank my water and took my Tylenol and fell asleep. Woke up Saturday and had some running around to do so I set off, I continued to have contractions all day but nothing strong enough to do anything. By the end of the day though they were very consistent but still not painful, just still uncomfortable. I went ahead and called the doctor and he said to go in and get checked just to be sure. So Saturday night we spent the evening at the hospital hooked up to monitors. They ended up telling me that the reason I was having the contractions was because I had "moderate key tones" which means I was slightly dehydrated. So we came home and Sunday when I woke up I was feeling crampy and achy and like he had dropped significantly cause there was so much pressure. I ended up passing the "plug" on Sunday morning and even with the gallons of water I drank I still continued to have contractions. My back has been hurting a lot all day yesterday and I'm still crampy/achy off and on. I really thought we would be heading to the hospital last night but we are still here this morning. Just wanted to give you all an update. Hopefully the next update will include a picture of our little man!
