Has the time finally come?

It is 12:27 am and I am officially unable to sleep because of contractions. They started this evening, but were so mild - mostly just a tight sort of feeling. Ten minutes apart and not that painful - doesn't necessarily mean it's time, right? Well, we went to bed and lo and behold, they started becoming more and more painful. Still only 10 minutes apart though. So instead of writhing in pain beside Brian, I decided to come downstairs, sit on my exercise ball and write a blog post. Oh, here comes another one. Okay all this talk about foregoing an epidural is starting to sound like crazy talk - yikes this sucks! Okay now that its over, I feel like I can conquer the world again:). Ohh it's going to be a long night. I think I'll be seeing the Peter Lougheed by sunrise.
