Speaking of adventures...

As most of you know I found myself in actual labor on my way to the Johnson & Johnson audit this morning. I was in denial for most of the morning and thought I was just having severe back pains :) Between contractions I was actually giving audit instructions...talk about a die hard auditor huh?! Anyhow, once I finally called the midwife I was told to come in to the hospital...so a very sweet co-worker of mine accompanied me on the 45 minute journey and carried all my stuff for me. Andy met us at the hospital and the midwife gave me some drugs to stop the contractions, it worked within about 30 minutes and seems to be taking hold! SO, I am now staying in the hospital overnight just to make sure i don't go into labor again, but she'll probably send me home tomorrow to bed rest at home from here on out.

I'm guessing not many people can say they went into labor at work - this is definitely an experience I won't soon forget!

In the mean time, let's see how long this baby decides to stay in....
