Baby Drama!!

So the drama has already started! Yesterday I was sitting on my couch watching a great episode of a baby story when I realized that there was a lot of pressure on my uterus. I have had the feeling before, but thought it was just gas. This time I wanted to check with my mom to see her opinion. I told her my symptoms of sharp pains, cramps and my uterus being hard as a rock; she immediately told me to call my clinic because I was having contractions and possibly going into labor. So I did. They wanted to check me because I have a family history of bed rest. So Daniel jumped out of his chair and literally ran to the car. All the while I am having pains from the hard uterus. We get there and have me do the ritual things I always do at an appointment, but I didn't have to wait as long before the doctor came in. When he came in he told me that contractions are normal between 18-22 weeks, but because I am a tiny person they are MUCH more noticeable. This made me feel a little better. He checked the babies heart and it was good and strong. He also checked to see if I was dilated and I was not. All the while Daniel and I were thinking of ways I could graduate from home if I was put on bed rest. He was so supportive and helpful that I don't think I would have been able to stay calm with out him! So they sent us home and I took it easy the rest of the night. Today I had really bad contractions during class. I couldn't even sit still. I had to stand or walk. I hope this doesn't last much longer! My mom thinks there is still room to worry so I am taking it easy and watching my signs, so hopefully all will turn out well. I am sad to report that my belly button is no longer an innee, or just flat, but has broken it's concave shape and become an outee. I thought that would come later, oh well!
