    Okay, here's the story...
    I' due tomorrow so DH and I decided to have a little fun to see if we couldn't kick start things. I have been so miserable these last few weeks. And I've been having Braxton-Hicks since around January so I'm ready to be done. Well, last night was awesome. Intense. Great. But soon afterwards, my BH got painful. Now I don't know if it's because it actually worked and I've started labour or just because those muscles got such a work out and they are so sore. I have a doctor's appointment this morning so at least I can get some answers soon. In the meantime, I am trying to walk it off and enjoy some breakfast.
    Did I mention my DD3.5 was up a few times last night? Yeah. Good times.

    Looks like a false alarm. Going to get checked again on Wednesday. Here's hoping I have to cancel!! So for now, I'm stuffing my face with chocolate and gold fish and planning on taking a nap. Going to enjoy it while I can.

    The worst part is that I packed all my stuff and now I have to unpack it all. This blows. Chocolate helps.

    i am in the same boat....i actually bring all of my packed stuff to the car with me wherever i go.  I am tired of waiting around for this child to come out!  I bring my bag everywhere I go just in case I end up having to go to the hospital as I am out and about..

    Its a good thing I'm lazy and didn't unpack my bag. DH and I went to the hospital last night just to get checked. Well I was 7 cm! An hour and a half later I delivered a 7 lbs 14 oz baby girl. We're doing good. Talk to you soon!
