I decided to get a move on and took the kids to a slide at the top of a hill yesterday so that I would be doing some good stair/hill walking and they could have fun.
Then I tried my hardest to relax at night so I could get a good night's sleep. I had a half a glass of wine and went to bed. But I had contractions all through the night. Nothing abnormal, but I was a bit frustrated that I couldn't sleep well. So I finally got out of bed at 8 am to time the contractions since my hip hurt and I was too uncomfortable to stay there.
8:05, 8:09...nice long contractions. And 8:22 rolled around and nothing
So I went to the bathroom and lost my mucus plug and have bloody show!!! WOO WOO! 
I called my midwife to give her a heads up and I had a really long contraction while I was talking to her at 8:26. I'ts now 8:50 and I've had 2 more since then. They aren't super intense because I can still talk through them and all. But I checked my dilation on Friday and I was 4 cm. I let my midwife check me yesterday and she confirmed my 4 cm assessment and said I'm about 75% effaced.
My kids are still in bed and I wish I were too. But I'm not comfy enough to sleep. Oh well. At least I'll be meeting my lil one today
My due date was 2/6
