Thursday

Maybe today?

I had contractions for most of the night. They were mild and painless, but persistently 4-6 minutes apart.

I was hoping for a mucous plug or for my water to break as a positive sign to head to the hospital, but no such luck.

At 5 AM, I couldn't sleep and headed for the shower. After my shower, the contractions waned, and I slept for another couple of hours.

When I awoke around 8 AM, I was having contractions once again. Only they were about 10 minutes apart and a bit longer in nature. They also seemed a bit more serious.

So, here I sit, waiting for each contraction--there's one now--and hoping, praying, for a sign to head to the hospital.

Posting my current photo here, just in case I'm not here tomorrow! I'm 39 weeks tomorrow.

Oh, no. Leah! I am so sorry to hear about your itchies. I had those my entire pregnancy with the last one. Scratched myself bloody some days.
I pray that in a short amount of time you will be back at home, recovering from a safe delivery (c-section) and holding that bundle of sweetness in your arms.
God bless!

Wow, you carried really compactly! You only looked about 5 months pregnnat. While I always looked like a big wobbly baby balloon!
