And BIG! And UNCOMFORTABLE!
On Sunday and through Monday night - I had a lot of contractions. Waves on crampy-ness, full on contractions from the top down, side contractions - every which way. I was pretty uncomfortable - but it wasn't painful - just annoying. I couldn't sleep on Monday night with all that was happening, but finally fell asleep around midnight. I knew I would need my sleep - if this was indeed "the start".
I woke up on Tuesday with a few contractions, but they seemed to stop. I ran a few errands and headed to work knowing that I had to finish a couple of things. It was hard to concentrate - I kept waiting for the contractions to start again - but they didn't. I drank a ton of water, just to make sure I wasn't dehydrated and having contractions due to that.
Silence.
I just couldn't imagine anther night or two like Monday night that wouldn't send me into labor.
Silence.
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero.
Again - another quiet night.
Albeit - totally uncomfortable. Baby girl decide to turn her back from a very comfortable backbone to my bellybutton to a side position. Aye Aye Aye. My legs are totally restless and I had to get up about (seems like) 45 times to pee. I finally got up and slept in the other room so that I wouldn't disturb Lance. I got to sleep but then my hips woke me up. The other bed is more firm and my hips just couldn't take it anymore. So, I came back to my bed. Later I woke up to lower back pain that wouldn't go away no matter what position (I only have 2 choices!) I was in. I finally had to get out of bed, again - and stretch my back this way and that.
Didn't help.
So, I tried my heating pad. That was nice. It helped.
If you're listening little girl - we're ready to meet you! Any time now - The sooner the better!
