Tina called me this a.m. from work, and just as I started to get off the phone from her, I started getting that crampy feeling. My body has been showing the subtle signs that it’s almost ready. But I decided that, as uncomfortable as I am, I was going to continue on with my day. So Mom and I ran to GNC so I could pick up some more prenatal vitamins and then off to Wal-Mart to grab a few things.
The contractions started on the drive, but I just had one or two. But as we walked around Wal-Mart, I was pretty uncomfortable and the contractions kept coming on. We got home and ate lunch, with contractions in between. And then around 2:30-ish I decided it might be a good idea to try to get a nap in.
Ha, ha, ha. That didn’t happen. Every 4 to 6 minutes the contractions came on. I started off dreaming, and woke up to the first one. I ignored it. By 3:00 I started timing them, and sure enough, they were coming on every 4-6 minutes. I decided to keep timing for another hour, and they remained consistent, so at 4:00 I called Scott, who was supposed to be home already (working from home) and told him he might want to just go ahead and head home.
So now he’s home and we are continuing to time them out. After the false labor last Thursday, I don’t want to jump into saying I’m in labor yet, but some of you may be getting phone calls once we figure out for sure!!!
So funny! I just thought to myself… I better check her blog one more time before I log off just see if there are any developments.
So excited!!! Praying! Wish I were there to help and rejoice with you!
YAY!!! I hope this is it. That would be AWESOME!! I know how uncomfortable you are and it would be amazing if you were FINALLY in labor!! I am praying for you, your delivery and your family!!!
