it's been a long weekend. i have been having contractions for 4 days now. No regular intervals but it's been constant. my back is achy and i'm crampy. today i noticed that the baby has dropped. my belly now looks like a shelf. Also, yesterday i woke up feeling an urgency to get things done. i have all the baby clothes, towels etc washed and cleaned and i have pretty much sanitized the house. do you think i'll make it another 7 weeks? i need to at least make it 4 more or i can't deliver at home. 3 weeks ago i was not effaced at all and today i'm 50% effaced. ack!
