Had my bloody show. That's mucus tinged with blood. And then some more blood.
Contractions are closer together and regular at about 2-3min apart.
I just showered.
We are getting ready to leave to the hospital. Calling them now.
Please send me baby dust and labor dust! I am eerily calm....obviously i'm blogging between contractions. I swear if there was cell reception in the labor delivery area I would live blog!
Next time I blog I better have a baby in my arms!!
Thanks everyone for all your support thus far.
See ya on the flip side!

TIming Contractions
It's 3:48am and I'm sitting in my living room timing contractions on contractionmaster.com. For the last hour they have been 8 min. apart. And this time they are totally regular. Although the last few times they have been about 3-4 min. apart and lasting just over a minute. So I'm not sure if they're becoming irregular because they aren't much more painful. I've had a few "stop me in my tracks" painful one's, but the rest have been pretty mild.
I'm sorta getting tired of this contractions all the time business. I had been crampy all day yesterday. Probably due to my crazy sleepless night with back pains. But these contractions tonight actually woke me up and made me start timing them. I just wish all this damn contracting would brings on some progress. Painful one.........now.................omg...........................ok....holy crap that one hurt!! I am such a wuss! I am sooo getting an epidural!! This one lasted 2.5 min and hurt like real bad. And to think this is suppose to get worse. OK. I'm really having contractions now. OMG another painful one. And these are totally in my butthole! Serio. Feels like so much pressure on my butthole.
Ok. Gonna go wake up G. I wanted to let him sleep in case it was another false alarm. But here comes another. Ok. Better go get him. Wish me luck peeps. Hope this isn't another false alarm!

38 week appointment update
No. further. progress.
Still 1cm and barely thinning. So much for those contractions. Doc says this will definitely be an August baby. Although we all know that labor is a mysterious thing that can happen at any moment no matter what the odds. So we'll see!
I am still having contractions on and off. Although non today. And it's not like I'm even taking it easy. I am out and about doing things everyday. So I am walking and still no progress. So now I really won't be taking it easy. We are totally ready to meet baby G! And totally ready to not keep his name a secret! It's such a build up....not like there could be a disappointment.
The next part is a total rant. I bought this customized print for baby G's room. It's the alphabet in brown letters and then within the alphabet [and in different colors that match his room] is his name. His name pops off the print. So I go to buy a frame only to realized that no such size frame is made. Fuckityfuck. You know what that means....custom framing....and you know what that means...money...lots of it. That print is now at Aaron Brother's getting custom framed. We went the cheaper route [if you can even call it that] and got a big frame and are custom matting the print. Then they have to throw in the special glass and all that shit they sell you on. I just said yes. So I am now paying 3 times more than I thought I should. Moral of the story: don't buy odd shaped prints if you're tight on money.

Contractions?
It's just before 5am and I've been very crampy since just before 3am. Just after 4am the crampiness actually became contractions...irregular but noticeable.
Yesterday, I was at a b-day pool party and I started getting very irregular contraction around 6pm. Thought nothing of it till about 7:30 when it was still happening. Nothing painful but I felt it from my back to my lower belly. And also in my butt hole like I had to go #2. My cousin the postpartum RN was all excited telling me it sounded like real contractions. Around 8pm I started chugging water in case I was just dehydrated. Got home about 9ish and it all seemed to go away. Chalked it up to dehydration.
After getting up to pee 3 times before 3am [has never happened!] I became crampy just before 3am. Just felt like period cramps so I wasn't sure what was going on. The suddenly around 3:45am I had a painful one, but then I totally had to take a dump. LOL. I ended up taking my first middle of the night dump! Weird. Is my body preparing for something? I don't know but now I'm wide awake and trying to time myy irregular contractions on this website.
G just left to work during my dump and he was all worried and nervous.
I've been up for a while so I just had some lucky charms. Really wanted a PB&J sandwhich but our bread was starting to mold. :(
Also, Baby G is moving a lot. So maybe he isn't quite descending into the birth canal just yet.
Don't some women have mild contraction FOREVER before going into labor? Maybe these are just the "practice" ones? I don't know, but being at this point is crazy! I mean...I'm finally here!
Watch me still be over due in 2 weeks. LOL
