Maybe something is happening...

Chris and I went on a 3 mile walk last night (to church and back) and I actually felt really good during most of it. Although I was thirsty and needed to "rest" once we got to church, I made it back home and physically felt pretty good!

However, around 9:15pm last night I started having contractions that seemed to be coming every 10 minutes until about 10:15pm or so. I think they spread out and I was able to go to sleep which I needed to do anyway. To my surprise, the contractions seemed as though they were in my lower back rather than my abdomen. It just felt like achy back pain that would go away after about 30 seconds and come back briefly after about 10 minutes.

Well, I woke up at about 2:45am this morning to go to the bathroom. The baby has been moving quite a bit (pretty constantly for about 2 hours last night and between about 3am and 4am this morning). He keeps hitting my bladder which makes me need to pee! I have had a few contractions in the time I've been awake this morning, but they aren't occurring very frequently (every 15-20 min) or so. So, I got up, walked some around the kitchen, drank some water, and decided to post about this at 4:15am. I know I'm supposed to be resting/sleeping, but I can't sleep. I will try to go back to bed here shortly after I finish posting.

I have plans to head to the mall tomorrow with a friend, so we'll see if that happens. If these contractions continue as they have, I will probably still go. The walking will be good for me. But, we'll have to see how things go between now and then. I'll do my best to keep the blog up-to-date.
