Every five minutes

So last night at around 7:15 my wife's irregular contractions started coming at more regular intervals. When they started arriving approximately five minutes apart we decided to call the doctor and let them know. We knew they were going to send us in to get checked, but we called anyway and sure enough, around 9 something we headed to the hospital. She was having good contractions but she wasn't dialated at all so they gave her medicine to stoop the contractions since she isn't quite far enough along for them to be "okay" with a delivery. It was not much fun, but it definitely was a little exciting at first.
