Is It Time?

On Tuesday and Wednesday I had a boost of energy. I felt great and didn't have many contractions. So, I took advantage of it. I ran errands, cleaned a bit and sorted through our baby stuff. Thank goodness I did. I didn't realize how much I had given away and all the things I still need to get. I thought I had more stuff, but I don't think three swaddling blankets and five onesies will cut it. I went to bed last night but was awoken around 2am with bad contractions--bad enough to wake me up. I had them for eight hours, 'til 10 this morning, every 10 minutes. I then took a shower. I had to take Matt to the doctor for his kindergarten physical, so I figured if the contractions hadn't let up by then I would talk with the dr. and most likely head to the hospital. Thankfully they slowed down a lot by 10:30am. I only had three in two hours after that. Matt and I took it easy this afternoon--watched the movie, "UP". It's such a bummer to not be able to go about my regular schedule/activities. I'm having to forego my garden, yardwork, a clean house, good meals, etc. I keep telling myself it won't be too much longer--six weeks at most. My goal is to make it to May 1st.
