Happy Birthday mom!! I am so happy you are here and we get to celebrate your birthday with you! I just wish I was feeling better so I was better company:-)
I really thought that Elsie might share a birthday with her Grandma Dana. Strong contractions started last night around 12pm. They were irregular, but frequent for several hours and then slowed to just a couple per hour. I finally dosed off about 5am and was up with Reagan at 6:30. After several more strong contractions this morning they faded away and I was able to get a few more hours of sleep with my mom and dad helping with the kids. Craig is back to work today and he is just dying to get 'that' call from me:-)
I told myself I would embrace the 'false' labor (early labor, my body just likes to do it's early labor over weeks and weeks) this time around knowing it is my normal. But man, easier said than done. It is hard not to hope, especially last night with such strong and frequent contractions, only to be disappointed when things don't progress. I know that it will all help when I do go into active labor, and is more likely that it will be another fast one. It sure is exhausting though. My horrible head cold is definitely making it harder.
I know that it could still be a while and that I have no control over the matter. So I am trying my best to let go of the mental stress and get through each day. Love to all, Brenda
