After taking a *serious* walk yesterday on my due date (major elevation change) I think I'm in labor. I've been awake for a couple hours timing contractions. Every 5-7 minutes, starting to wrap around to my back. they are still short - about 45 seconds long. Also having some bowel movements, which is not typical for night time 
We will see what happens. My water broke to begin my labor with DS so this is new territory for me. I didn't have much early labor, it was more of a freight train labor.... going to try to wait until 6 am to call my midwives unless things pick up. DS and DH are still sleeping. Wish me luck....I'll update when I can!
UPDATE: SHE's here! Born at 10:02 am 9 lbs even, 22 in. long. Started having contractions at about 3:30 am after DS woke me up. He slept in until almost 8, and as long as I was sitting on the ball, contractions weren't that bad until right after he left with the babysitter. Then it was a whirlwind from 8-10. She was born at home in water. Super intense 30 minutes of pushing. Boobaholic all afternoon.
By the way, her name is Sierra Joy
