Labor!?!? Nope.

Last night was very interesting!! We had our last lamaze class, during all of which I felt some pretty good contractions. Started timing them there, at 6:30 p.m., and they were about 10-11 minutes apart. By 8:30 p.m. they were about 6-7 minutes apart, which is pretty normal for me. We went home and did all the things we usually do to get them to stop - drink lots of water, lay down, and empty the bladder continuously. They were only getting stronger and closer together! I was really starting to think this might be it! We decided to go for a walk to see what that did. OUCH. This made the contractions one on top of eachother and quite painful - now I was SURE this was it. It is now about midnight and they are coming every 4-5 minutes. WOO HOO! Called my mom at about 12:15 to give her a heads up but told her not to get up, that I would call again. 1 a.m. came and suddenly, one set was 7 minutes apart. What?? And slowly, over the next 2 hours, they got further and further apart. Less and less intense. By 3 a.m. it sunk in - THIS is why so many people run to the hospital in false labor. Because you really can't tell the difference until you've been through it at least once, and even then I would think you would still have a hard time distinguishing this from the real thing. I just COULD NOT believe I didn't actually have my baby. It was painful, uncomfortable, it was all happening like it was supposed to!! And then it just stopped. :(

So here we are! Still pregnant! It actually is okay - I'm really trying to enjoy these last few days of being pregnant and relaxing...lots of naps and hanging out down at the beach. It's been a really good week.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Keep the guesses coming in!!

TTFN. :)
