Yesterday, starting around 3:30 am - 3-5 contractions per hour all day. Lots of bloody show.
VERY busy day - had company in the morning, went out to lunch, had NST, then went shopping at mall with DH to get a few school clothes and a thank you gift for MIL who is here helping us for a few weeks. THEN, omg, purged and sorted clothes in dresser of my two younger DDs. I don't know why I finally got around to this chore I've been procrastinating on for months, but hurrah, it's done.
Had a good dinner (thanks MIL!) Watched TV for awhile in the evening while sitting on birth ball. Contractions starting coming more regularly, somewhat more intense - about 10 minutes apart.
Had a glass of wine, went to bed at 11 am hoping to catch a few hours of sleep.
Contractions woke me up at 1 am. Continuing bloody show. Between 1-3 am they went from about 8-10 min apart to about 5 min apart. Tried to go back to sleep. Too much discomfort. Got up, got some stuff out of freezer (vegetable soup for crock pot, banana bread), started a load of kid laundry left over from yesterday's project. Started typing this email between contractions and timing them:

What do you think?? I might have a baby soon, yes... ?! Could be a long day, though...
