Contractions Suck
11

So, I've been having what I've called Braxton Hicks for days.. Feel my belly, rock hard, move on, unpack another box, etc.

I've been feeling pretty crummy since Thursday afternoon, and they've picked up, ranging from 4 to 35 minutes apart. Not regular at all. But then my back has started to ache around the contractions, which is what I can only guess is what they mean by "radiating from the back to the front."

Now, I've been at about 7 minutes apart.. I've watched everything on the DVR, and now I'm watching random movies.. Letting DH sleep.. Because it looks like this may happen before my due date. Of course, now that I'm sitting up and typing, the pattern is changing.. This sucks. I should have had some Tylenol PM on hand. Part of me is tempted to pull out a very dusty bottle of wine and have a glass and see if that makes me anymore comfortable!! heheheh.

If this is it... that's fine! But I want to know!! heheheh. I haven't really pulled my bag together yet! hehehe.

Then again.. I am going to be really ticked off if this is all nothing and

Ahhh... and they have totally stopped... hehehhe...

I think I'm either taking a nap or going for a walk... I can't decide which.. but a nap is the front runner at the moment.

The evil part of me is glad to not be the only one going through this! hehehe The less-evil part hopes that you get real labor soon and have a super-easy labor! :)
