rivkaLast night, while I was reading bedtime stories, I noticed that my continuing Braxton-Hicks contractions were starting to be both longer and more uncomfortable. So when I came downstairs, I timed them. Over the next hour, they came almost exactly eight minutes apart and lasted about a minute each time. Each contraction was not painful, but noticeable and uncomfortable.
"That looks like a pattern," I said to Michael, showing him my list of times. He agreed that it did.
"So here's what I think we should do: You clean up the living room a little in case someone winds up having to come over here. Then we should both go to bed."
We went to bed. I had some more contractions in bed. Then I went to sleep and slept all night, thus proving that I wasn't in labor. But at least the living room is clean.
Still not getting overexcited, because I did this sort of thing for weeks with Alex, but I am starting to feel like progress is happening.
So now it's time for a poll. I've been working my way through Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels in my copious free time. I've made it to #16, The Wine-Dark Sea. I'm a reasonably fast reader. So your poll question is: how close am I going to get to finishing the series?
