I think we may be getting started . . .
. . . or maybe not. Update Wednesday 2:00pm: Had another NST — NO contractions at all. Her heartrate is a little lower than usual, but still in the normal range. Starting to get ticked off. I am so ready to have this baby!
UPDATE 11:15 pm: They seem to have started up again, 5-10 minutes apart. Pray this is it!
UPDATE 4:30pm 11/20: Still nothing new. Contractions stop and start. I’m getting really aggravated!!!

Yesterday after taking the girls to school, I was feeling a little crampy. Nothing distinct, but that’s how my other 3 labors started, that achey AF feeling. I took a nap, then went to my NST. Sure enough, it was showing light contractions. They didn’t seem to be doing much, I was just 1.5 cm dilated and 60% effaced, but hey it’s something! I was getting some crampy contractions through the afternoon, maybe 30 min apart, but not really regular. I let my babysitter know that probably nothing til today, thinking that they’d probably get worse during the night. Nope. Had a great night’s sleep — which is probably a good thing. This morning, off and on 20 minutes apart. I am sure hoping they ramp up today, I am TIRED of waiting around with no news for anyone.
MOM!!! I will call you when things get more real. I won’t let you read it here, lol!!!
Squid won’t let me take his laptop to the hospital to blog from there. Party pooper. I’ll get on and update before we go, or if things stall out again.

I remember the false starts (not quite from your side though). It will be worth it in the end

I see you were up late, so here’s hoping you’re really busy right now.

Gem - I think my last comment failed. Just wanted you to know that I’m praying for you.

God bless you and Fiona.
Walking is supposed to help bring on the real thing, if you’re near. It worked for me. REALLY worked for me. So let me give you a hint, do NOT walk in the middle of the street. Once the walking kicks in, you have a contraction with every step. And not being able to move out of the street is dangerous.
