This is it!

Here I sit at 5:45 am, having been awake since around 2 am, when the contractions first started bothering me. I tried to go back to sleep, but with the anticipation, and, in all honesty, being uncomfortable, it wasn't happening.

So, I finally rolled out of bed at 4:00 to start laboring alone here in the living room where I can have the wonderful distraction of the internet.

So far so good. Today I will hold my baby girl. :)

Contractions are pretty close together, (anywhere from 7-4 minutes in the last hour) and they mean business, but I'm waiting for a less "yucky" time of the morning before I bother my friend to watch the kids. Plus, Cory could use some more sleep.

It's surreal KNOWING what I know while all around me are soundly asleep.

I'm happy to have this time to anticipate, and to be thankful!
