more!

Here's my update... This evening, we went out to dinner and they started up again: every 10 minutes. They were more like I expected them to be, feeling a bit like menstrual cramps. They've continued since then, but they've intensified A LOT. Now they are still about every 10 minutes (hey, aren't they supposed to get closer???), but I can really not concentrate on anything but the contraction when it is happening.

It is amazing the difference in how I feel between vs during a contraction. No doubt to me this time, it's the real thing. They seem to be about a minute long. However, I'm not supposed to go in until they are 5 min apart (or less) for at least an hour. At this point, they are still 7-10 min... I keep expecting them to get closer, but no... it could be hours and hours like this.

Unfortunately, I can't sleep. Laying down through the contractions is awful (I did get a couple hours of interrupted sleep a bit earlier). But I'm tired, which I know isn't good this early in the game. I wish I'd been able to sleep last night.

Anyway, I think I'm having Molly later today! Exciting!!!
