We had a trial run for the delivery last night. My wife’s contractions got pretty regular with some other pain. Upon hearing of this, her doctor told her to head into the hospital. So, right around 11:00 pm last night, we took off on the 50 minute journey to the hospital. After 5 hours of up and down contractions, her doctor came in early this morning to check her and ended up sending us home. 
It was a bit frustrating for my wife. She had contractions all evening with some of them “knocking her socks off” so to speak, yet the baby is still not here. He will come when it is time, of course.
We are both really anxious at this point.

We had a couple of false alarms earlier in the weekend. My wife has had, as she puts it, “a lot of tightness” in her tummy and pain in her back. I guess I am a bit anxious and ready for the little rug rat to get here.

My wife is just over 2 weeks from giving birth to our second son. Tonight while in the kitchen, she stopped cold in her tracks. I asked her what the problem was and she said she had a contraction that about brought her to her knees. She mentioned later this evening that the contractions were constant while she is up and moving around.
Maybe we will be heading to the hospital this weekend.
