Two days past due date
Topic: Baby
I think I started having contractions last night. They were difficult to time because I couldn’t really determine when they were starting or stopping. Took a hot bath/shower. Got to bed at about midnight. Woke up at 5 this morning with what felt like cramps. They were very intense. Colby and I took a walk outside and practiced some of the Bradley relaxation stuff. We called Labor and Delivery to try to find out if the cramping is normal, since it wasn’t really like a starting/stopping contraction like I had expected. After talking for a bit, we’ve determined that I am probably experiencing early signs of labor. We’ve called our moms and are now counting baby kicks to reassure the nurse and us of Baby’s health. It’s about 6:45 am now and, after some juice and an omelet that Colby made me, Baby is kicking away and we’re trying to time what could be contractions…

11am: Things have come to a stop. Cramping/contractions let up and I've been catching up on sleep. Hopefully things will get moving again soon.
