Four Days And Counting If This Is The Real Thing

Hello friends!

Its finally Friday!

Allow me to finish my title..."If this is the real thing...it sure is taking a long time."

So, I have been having contractions since 3:30 this afternoon, and I finally started to time them a few hours ago.

Every twenty minutes or so with each one lasting about one minute. They dont hurt.

I finished reading my book.

I took a bath.

I asked my husband to take me to MacDonalds for a twist cone, but it was almost too late.

I called my mom...just in case they suddenly speed up into something.

*Yawn*

I was thinking, "Hey, I could sleep through this."

Then it occurred to me that thats probably what happened in the last labor.

See, I awoke at 6:30 in the morning to this really sharp contraction. Well, for all I know I could have been having contractions in my sleep all night long and just didnt wake up until they started getting much stronger.

Hmmm...maybe Ill go to sleep tonight and then wake up in the middle of the night to the "real" thing.

I told my husband, "Nothings happening."

He corrected me, "No, yesterday nothing was happening. Something is happening now."

So, I amended it, "ok, something is happening, but its taking forever."

But, I will say, I got the house cleaned today, laundry done. And, now, I have had bath so I dont stink when I go into the delivery room.

I was even thinking about re-painting my toe nails, so those look fresh too. But Im not sure I feel like it.

"Wait...see? theres another one."

I cant recall when the last one happened. Ive given up keeping track. Maybe when they actually hurt, I will start again. But by then I just may be asleep.

Well, I think I may keep the computer on tonight so I dont have to reboot it to tell everyone that Im going to the hospital.

If I go in that is.

Otherwise, I hope you all have a great weekend. The sun finally came out today. It was a beautiful day!

Enjoy your day!

Sincerely,
Sunshine Mama
