Trying not to get my hopes up....

[Passionate*Mama]

I'm one day past my due date with a good half hour of contractions 4 minutes apart about 45 seconds each. Not *painful* but catching my attention for sure. So I'm trying to remind myself that it could fizzle out at any moment and could still be weeks before he is here!! I sure would love if it was the real thing! So funny, waiting for birth, the only time in my life I'm begging my body to bring me pain!!:

I hope it is your time too.

Whoo! Come on baby!

They lasted an hour and then I did a little picking up around the house and they fizzled out.

Even though I tried really hard to remind myself it wasn't real labor yet and it didn't mean labor was coming I'm still really bummed, it was my first set of regular contractions. With my DD I didn't have any contractions till real labor so it's hard to feel so much going on this time and have it not be labor yet. Good to remind myself it's gotta be doing something that I can't see, right?

all those "practice" contractions are still helping your body! use them to practice for the real event (which may be really soon anyways!). good luck mama!
