In labour.
I started getting short cramps and back pains last night, and this morning around 1 a.m. they started coming every 15 minutes. Now they are about every 10 minutes. Tomek and I walked from 4 to 5 a.m. and he's home with me today... we don't call the midwife till my water breaks or till the contractions are at least a minute long and 3-4 every ten minutes. No water breakage yet, just owie owie pain. But it only lasts a bit so that's all right--and Tomek breathes with me and massages up my back with my inhales and down with my exhales, which really helps.
Tomek just called me the "true blog addict". I guess I am if I'm making time to blog between contractions.
I don't think we'll be calling anyone till I hit active labour, but I really hope that happens today.
And yay our little bean is going to be an August baby like me!
-ow here comes another one-

WELCOME TO THE WORLD, LITTLE BEAN!!! If nothing else is certain, I'm pretty sure you will be loved. =)
This is awesome.
And you're posting between contractions! You're a badass. Now, give us a couple of posts between labor "pushes."
I asked over at estubby if he (or anyone else) had heard about LB and Moi said LB is here! She DID NOT tell us if LB is a boy/girl or any other details.
I can't WAIT to read all the details. Hope all is well, I'm keeping you all in my thoughts.
