I'm so excited for you! Did the doctor say anything about Braxton Hix contractions?? That's usually what happens just before the real deal. But you already know that, right???

Keep us posted!
Yeah, they weren't braxton hicks. They hooked me up to the belly monitors that show the contractions. They were strong and regular, and haven't quit at least since 1:45 am (it's 4:20 pm now). The Braxton Hicks are inconsistant, they don't have a pattern.

This medicine that I am on is normally for heart patients. I don't care for it, it gives me a headache and makes my heart beat fast. I almost feel like not taking it and just having the baby, but I know I need to stick it out at least another week.
