had some contractions last night...
they were 15 minutes apart for about 1.5 hrs with a few in there about 10 min apart... I started to get so nervous/anxious I can't even describe it!!! well, they subsided and I only had a few more the rest of the night but let me just say that I did not sleep easy last night!
had a doctor's appointment today and my cervix is still completely closed, though she did say that my cervix is starting to soften up a little bit. so odds are we will have a November baby as planned....just wondering if we will have her on my birthday (the 9th) or possibly on Friday the 13th?? 
the contractions were painful but weren't even that bad (like really bad AF cramps) but I felt like such a baby, wishing they would go away. I am so not ready for L&D!! I wish I could just wave a wand and *poof* she's here like magic
so now we continue to just wait and see....
Re: had some contractions last night...
oh wow! how exciting!!
Hey, at least you know what they feel like now! Or were those BH ones since you didn't actually go into labor? I hear you about waving the wand - I'm not looking forward to the L&D part!
I don't want to have my LO on the 13th!!
I haven't had any contractions. Baby keeps moving around a lot - I think he is just as uncomfortable as I am!
the BH contractions aren't painful, just a really tight feeling
these contractions feel like when you get really bad AF cramps and you want to curl up in a ball... sometimes when i have a bad period I feel like "my insides are about to come out" (sorry if TMI) but I had a similar feeling last night as well except this was coupled with a tightening of my uterus too. it wasn't a sharp pain, more of a general dull pain
oh and I hear you about the baby moving! whoever said the baby moves less at the end of PG b/c there is less room clearly did not have a baby like mine! she still moves around like crazy and I'll still get the occasional arm or leg moving across my entire abdomen!

I will third that motion!
Good for you. I am working on my leave plan...I wonder how realistic I am being about working up to the day I go into labor? I am only 26 weeks and my body already hurts (feels like all of my ligaments are stretching in opposite directions)! I'd rather save up my leave for once she's here though.
You're in the home stretch! Hang in there...she'll be here before you know it!
