Contractions continued

Our contractions subsided for a bit from noon to 5pm. We grabbed some lunch, then came home and watched a really bad action movie (Apocolypto). Then took another walk at 5pm - got some munchies and came home to eat a bit and took a 1 hour nap. Just woke up again from strong contractions about an hour ago and have been having them now every 6 minutes.... boy they are strong mofo's.

I'm still awake enough to write in my journal and check email... so I guess i'm not too far gone. Sitting on the ball really really helps a lot! It hurts so much more lying down, not sure why, even on the side.

So far, it's all definitely do-able. Having the time to rest in between really makes a huge difference - it's going to be crazy when they start getting on top of each other. Ari is doing well, a little nervous and doing what he can to make me feel good - but the contractionsmaster.com is great... it's been keeping track and giving us very valuable information.

Alright, gonna try to do some things online before I can't do anything anymore. Will update you all in the morning if we are still around.
