One year ago I was having mild contractions and I was thinking perhaps it was just a irritable uterus again*. I took my terbutaline, drank 20 oz of water, rested on my left side (when I wasn't peeing) and eventually fell asleep.
Around noon the next day, I was speaking with Sarah on the phone and saying something about how cool it would be if the twins were born on Friday the 13th. But since "nothing is going on", I didn't think it would happen. Little did I know....
*At least I was hoping it was because Alaina wasn't in bed yet and I didn't want to disturb her nighttime routine. The twins arrived less than 24 hours later. And with my "don't disturb Alaina" mentality, it's a wonder they didn't arrive on the living room floor!

Isn't it crazy how quickly time flies? Happy Birthday to the boys! Doing anything special?
I had the very same experience with Garrett and Landon at 34 weeks. I was having contractions and I had taken my nifedipine pills and was planning on going to bed, figuring it was just another case of irritable uterus. But after talking to Tim, he urged me to call L&D and they told me to come in immediately. Good thing I did because the boys were born by emergency c-section less than 24 hours later!!
Isn't it so bittersweet to remember it all? It's amazing how clearly I still remember every minute of that day! Sounds like you also remember it vividly!
