Ouch...

Well if I'd known all she wanted to encourage her out was a decent birthday present I could've arranged it earlier. Or was it Sarah's flying cat who jumped on my tummy and hoisted herself up, when I was stood about 5 ft away. And there I was so proud of my stretch mark free tummy only to have it scored by a cat!

So what news? I had a sleepless night as every hour or so a contraction with pain and an urgent need to go to the loo arrived. It's now 5pm ish and the pains have continued on and off throughout the day. All I can say is if this is the easy bit then I'm looking forward to some serious pain relief later. I'm to call the hospital when I've had contractions for an hour 5 minutes apart, I'm starting to time them now cos this is starting to feel like the real thing...

Am off to hospital now, watch this space...
