contraction woke me up at 2:40am. all very textbook - bloody show, diarrhea (twice ), painful, regular contractions in lower abs that radiate around to the back. can still walk/talk through them though, so i'm not really timing them - but they were around 6 min apart.
so i decide to finish up some work - the last bit i need to do before I can actually enjoy my maternity leave*! that helped take my mind off things, and i actually thought the contractions slowed down and/or were getting less painful. but it turns out they're not. so i finished working, but i still can't sleep. if this is really the beginning of early labor, it's going to be a loooong day...!
* assuming this baby stays put and lets me actually enjoy it - it just started yesterday! i want him to stay in for another week, I was looking forward to resting and not doing much for at least a week!!
Re: i can't sleep...(BR, and a bit TMI)
Sending you stay put as long as healthy baby vibes to you. I'm so excited for you. It seems you just announced your pregnancy yesterday.
