OMG. Last night was brutal!! Woke up at 2AM with the worst lower back pain. 

Took a shower.

Started having bad contractions so I took a bath.

Started timing contractions at 3AM.

2-3 minutes apart. Only lasting 30-45 seconds. 

THEY HURT.

I had 24 in an hour.

I decided to force myself to fall asleep around 4:30AM.

Woke up a few times to contractions. 

Got up at 7:30AM and had a few more... AND THEN NOTHING.

Grrrrrrr.

This happened with Kayelynn and Aaralyn too.

I'd have bad contractions only at night for a few nights before I actually went into labor.

I have an appointment on Friday to check for dilation and everything. Fun. 

Kayelynn was born at 36 weeks 6 days.

Aaralyn was born at 37 weeks 2 days.

So, we're getting close!!

I have the swing, bouncy seat, and play pen all set up. Crib has been up for a while.

I also installed the car seat.

My bag is packed and so it the baby's bag.

I have disposable diapers on hand for Aaralyn while my brothers are babysitting.  

I also have clothes set out for Kayelynn and Aaralyn for when my brothers baby sit so they don't have to worry about that.

Now we just wait!
