34 Weeks (waiting.. waiting and more waiting)

So many questions and not enough answers! My contractions haven't eased up much at all. In fact, last night while shopping they got pretty painful.  When I'm laying down or resting I'm perfectly fine. The minute I stand up the contractions start and don't let up until I sit down. The meds they gave me aren't helping a bit. They actually doubled my dosage today but we haven't seen any results yet. Luckily, my next doctors appointment in Thursday. I'm really quite interest to see if I'm dilated any more then last week. I am at the point of wanting more answers. At first I didn't think much of whats going on. But now with back pain and contractions... i'm becoming a demanding preggo :)  So far they're thinking they will take me off the meds in two weeks and let me go into natural labor. I thought first time moms weren't supposed to dilate very easily. Just my luck, i'm already dilating and live an hour away from the hospital. I'm also worried about my "high blood pressure" during delivery. I'd rather be induced and coached through delivery... even a scheduled c-section would be nice. Anything where they can make sure baby and I are okay by monitoring us would be just lovely. I'm looking forward to voicing all my concerns to Dr.Crum. I don't know if I'm being unrealistic with my expectations or if everyone has these thoughts.

I've been slowly but surely packing hospital bags for me and Ollie. It's kind of surreal to think that we are packing the fist things he will be using from home. I keep looking up lists on google to see if we're missing anything. I'm sure we will forget something. Luckily there is a Buy Buy Baby right next door :)
