It's been so long...

...Since I've gone into labor by myself (think over 8 years) that I second guess myself each pregnancy.

Yet here I am, typing away at the keyboard at 3:30 in the morning, counting contractions. I'm pretty sure that this is the real deal this morning.

Feels like menstrual cramps.
They come on every 5-6 minutes or so.
They're pretty strong when they do come on.

I'll be calling my friend in about 30 minutes or so to come be with the kids while we make the LOOOOOONG drive to the hospital. (I'm glad I had the kids lay out their church clothes last night & that I gave them all showers...)

Don't worry, I showered last night, got my toes re-done, AND Popeye gave me a blessing before he left for work because I was afraid that I would go into labor a lot earlier (after the day I had yesterday). In the blessing I was told that I'd make it to the hospital with time to get some pain meds.

I guess I better go finish packing my bag, huh? Wish me luck!

Awesome!!! I was wondering why you posted at 3:30 am!! Lucky girl...to not have an inducement! The inducement hurts more than going into labor naturally. Best of luck
