San Antonio, locked up dogs, and contractions???

We went to San Antonio on Saturday for a wedding...that we missed. We got there at 3:00 thinking the wedding was at 4:00 but it was actually at 3:00. We did make it to the reception since it started at 6:30. It was fun seeing Mondo's dad's family...until two bad things happened to me. First, my dad called us at around 8:00 and said that he had no way to get into our house to let out dogs out. We brainstormed for a few minutes and decided that he was right, there was no way for him to get in. So it was either go home that night or let them tuff if out until Sunday evening. We decided that it was stupid to go home so we let them suffer. (By the way, they ended up being fine and not even messing up their cage!) I had to leave the reception and go to the room and cry for a while for being a bad doggie mom. So, I come back to the reception for about and hour and a half and start having contractions! Remember, I just turned 24 weeks on Friday. I had about 5 contractions in 10 minutes. They weren't really too painful but were definitely not Braxton Hicks. So, I went to the room again to lay down and drink water. They went away on their own. I think I was just dehydrated. I was so worried that I was going to have a 24 weeker in San Antonio! So now I'm trying to increase my water intake and take it easy...easier said than done chasing a 2 year old and working 12 hours shifts. Bed rest here I come!
