our first early labor sign

saturday around 3am, I woke up to contractions being 4 minutes apart. after an hour of counting, I called the oncall doctor and she told me to go into labor and delivery. They monitored me for a few hours but sent me home as my cervix was still closed. We really thought the girls were going to come within the next day. The pain of the contractions were nothing like the usual braxton hicks but I guess they aren't ready to meet everyone yet. I have gotten other signs that labor is not too far away so hopefully by the end of the week we will have them home. I'll keep you updated.
