40 weeks and 1 day

so our due date has come and gone and although contractions have sent me to the hospital twice already still no Rylan. I had contractions starting on Sat 10/24 at around 6:30 pm they got to 5 minutes apart lasting about a minute for about 2 hours so we called and they said to go into the hospital. We went and got all hooked up to the monitors but despite the contractions, nothing was happening so home we went. The contractions continued and got to about 1-2 minutes apart on Sunday afternoon and were increasingly painful so after about 2 hours of that we called and were sent back to the hospital to be checked, but still nothing so we were sent home. Thankfully, since the contractions weren't really doing anything, they did stop Sunday evening. My mom came up for a few days after that to be with me in case I went into "real" labor while James was at work. Nothing major happened so on 10/28 I had my 40 week appointment. It seemed that the contractions had helped me efface some so they weren't completely useless. The doctor suggested that if Rylan has not shown up by then, that we induce next Wed so Rylan now has an eviction date. James was hoping that he would be here by this Saturday since it is GA/FL weekend and Halloween but it's looking like Rylan is still a little too comfortable inside.
