Contractions

Another long, sleepless night filled with labor pains – and no baby to show for it…

By about 4am, the contractions got down to 9 minutes apart and I kept thinking “Here we go!” But at 6am, they just stopped. While I am grateful for the break, I won’t lie – I’m getting impatient. I don’t know how many more nights I can deal with the pain, knowing I am yet to go through the real thing. And why are they only happening at night? Is this some rule I hadn’t heard about?

The one positive is the contractions are only lasting about a minute. It’s a long minute, but I can handle it.
Eh, back to bed.
