Maybe today?

Yesterday we were finally able to get the child restraint seats inspected to make sure they are installed properly. Upon finishing, we went to get a bite to eat and I had a contraction. Jeff joked that I had just been waiting for this one final thing to be done before I could have the baby. Once I got home, I had a few braxton hicks, was nauseous and needed to use the restroom often. I made dinner and we had a very nice relaxing dinner. Once dishes were cleaned, Jeff and I decided to watch a movie. Around 8:30 or 9 pm, contractions started pretty regularly at 10 to 12 minutes apart. Since then they have continued regularly, gotten closer and stronger. They are now coming about 5 minutes apart, but not so strong that I feel the need to rush to the hospital. So, maybe Roo will come out and play today...or at least sometime soon.

**Edit Noon**
Well, I managed to get about 4 hours of sleep and contractions stopped. I woke up and started moving again and they started up again, but further apart. It appears if I am to the point of sleep they stop, but once I wake again they start. I've since napped twice. HMMMM.

That early labor business will drive you nuts... I went through that for over a week before things really got going.

Hang in there, it could be another week or so yet (says the woman who went 11 days past her EDD ;))
