I am apparently having prodromal labor...almost all of which is during the night. For those of you that do not know what this is, it is basically labor contractions that are regular and uncomfortable, but that do not progress. This started Tuesday night and has happened almost every night since then. Last night Jonathan and I very much thought I was is active labor. The contractions were 3-4 min apart, getting stronger and very uncomfortable. Then 4 hours into it (3:30 AM) things just kind of stopped.
So obviously things are getting close, I am just not sure how many more sleepless nights I can take. We are trying to stay positive and catch naps when we can. Please keep us in your prayers. It is a tough time right now. It is tough to stay positive and excited with things continuing to start and stop so many times.

Mandy, I know what you're going through. I had the same thing, though it started on my due date so they only let me go for a few days before inducing and then a c-section. Then I was so tired when JT arrived. Guess it runs in the family since your mom did it too. Also Grandma and Mama Smith. Try to rest/sleep as much as possible and hang in there - as Grandma says "This too shall pass." Let me tell you, it's been nearly 19 years and I still sometimes wish I could put JT back in there where I had him contained and safe. But at 6ft., 175 lbs. I'm afraid the physical discomfort would far outwiegh the piece of mind. It won't be long till you're blogging in the middle of the night because you're breastfeeding instead of having contractions. Love ya and praying for you!
