Contractions for 3 days!!!!

Eli has not arrived yet! He is not only late but I have been having steady contractions for 3 days!!! They have have been semi sparatic and have definitely intensified within the last day. I have gone from having them every 5 minutes, but then it will change to 10 and sometime longer. Yesterday they started to get pretty strong, so at 1:00 in the morning we decided to go in and get checked. I was only dialated at 2 cm and after about 3 hours of them monitoring me, walking around, and having some pretty intense contractions every 5 minutes........I was still only dialated at a 2. So..........we were sent home at 4:30 am with a sleeping pill and hopes that I would be able to come back in very soon! Today........my contractions have still been hurting but they go from every 5 to every 10 minutes or so and only last 30-45 seconds......not very promising!!! So we are still playing the waiting game and while waiting I get to be in pain! If I dont' have him by Wednesday the 27th I will be slowly induced in the morning, but I am soooooo hoping that I will be able to go in before then!
