is today the day?

I'm so hoping today is the day. I know I'm scheduled for an U/S tomorrow,
but I'm just in so much pain today I don't know if I can stand it.

I started feeling even more achey than usual yesterday across my abdomen and
starting at bedtime every time she would move there's so much pain across my
pelvic bone I feel like it's on fire. It feels like she's dropped, but I'm
guessing not because her butt is still firmly lodged against my sternum.

I started having contractions around 4:30am, about 8 minutes apart. By 6:00
they were 6 minutes apart. But I was holding DD2 and her pressure against
my stomach always makes things feel worse. I sent her to the sitter and
went back to bed about 6:30 and I've been able to sleep with just a few
contractions until 9:30. The pain across my pelvic bone woke me up and it
was really strong and constant for about five minutes and I couldn't get up.
Now i'm having pretty steady, though not hard contractions about every 6
minutes. But i've been having them most days for the last two weeks, so who
knows if this will be it?

So I guess I don't have a point except to whine and beg that either today
should be the day or the pain should stop until it's time. You know, this
is our third, and I still worry about getting to the hospital in time.
Isn't that funny? Not so funny that my DH is an hour away from home, then
it's another 45 minutes to the hospital and the van needs gas. :-) I guess
I'll go clean the kitchen and take a shower and see if it changes anything.

Megan - I'm hoping that today is the day for you, too!
BTW - I love the name you've chosen for your baby girl :-)

Good luck,

Oh, I hope that this is it for you! Good luck! I'm looking forward to
the story, as usual. ;-)

(((Randi))),
I really hope this is it for you!
I can't wait to read that Chloe is here.
Good labor vibes to you.

i've continued to have contractions all day and they're now more consistant
