Last night I had constant contractions, 4-5 mins apart lasting about a minute each for about 7 hours. They weren't getting closer, just a little more intense and we are not at all ready for this little girl to come. We packed our bag and I wasn't sure if this was really labor or if this was just going to go away. I told Eric to go to bed and I'll wake him up if anything happens. If it didn't happen, he still had to go to work today so he went to bed and I kept up. I finally got really tired and layed down. The contractions kept waking me up and finally I got to sleep for a few hours with breaks of back pain and contractions in between. I still don't think it's time to go to the hospital but this gave me a big enough scare that I figured today was the day to get everything ready to go to the hospital.
One thing I really wanted to do for Eric was to make him a shirt to wear after the baby arrives. So, at Walmart I found a large plain t-shirt that I came home and stamped on. And this is how it turned out. I rather like it. It isn't professional at all but enough for us. When Alyssa finally comes, I'll have the nurses stamp her footprints underneath her name on his shirt. Eric doesn't know I did this so don't tell him - he never visits this website anyways!!
