After a couple days of contractions all night and almost nothing during the day, labor finally started. It started Monday night and didn't vanish on me Tuesday morning when I got up.
Also, this was a 99% pain-free, comfortable birth and I'm totally floored and stoked about how well labor went -- it was absolutely awesome! Only discomfort was the last two pushes that pushed her out and there was no tearing at all either!

While I had "early" thoughts, I figured every pregnant woman had those thoughts and had planned to be patient for 41 weeks like my last two births.
