The process

So my process may have begun, but anyone that knows me knows it is a long, then short process. It takes me days to work up to full on labor, then once it hits the baby comes very quickly. Last night I started having those annoying contractions that are strong enough to feel, but not strong enough to do anything. They persisted all night...enough to wake me every half hour to hour, but not enough to really hurt. All it does is rob me of my last few possible nights of decent sleep. They have been very minimal today (so typical for me). They will probably reintroduce themselves tonight (once again hampering any chance of sleep) and die off again in the day...if I stay true to form. I have an appointment tomorrow morning, so we will see if the Dr. and I want to schedule an induction on Wednesday. I am leaning towards doing it so I do not stress about making it to the hospital in time (don't want to push my luck). Of coarse I wish he would just come on his own, but it is not looking good, much to Grant's dismay. I suppose the next couple days will tell...
