My body needs to make up its mind

On again... off again...

My contractions were non-existent or mild all afternoon. At 3:30 we tried walking to make them start up again, but that was a flop. I asked the doctor to check me again at 4:00, and she said there was no change from this morning. That's not a great sign.

But ever since she checked me, I have been having contractions. I'm afraid to get my hopes up! They are 5 minutes apart, lasting a minute each time, and are more painful than before. But still, I don't want to get sent home again, so I am WAITING until they stay like this for an hour. If I deliver at home, so be it. Kidding. That won't happen.
