Monday, January 05, 2004       ( 8:03 AM ) Lostcheerio   So... about 10:00 last night the contractions kicked up, started coming about 10-15 minutes apart, and very intense, and then about midnight I was very tired, and the relief between contractions was very extreme and leading me to fall asleep (!!!!) and then I took a shower and went to bed. Periodically throughout the night one would wake me up or I got up to throw up once, but mostly I just laid there drowsing or timing them. So here I am again, a new day, and no baby, and isn't it all JUST SO SWELL. Today Benny needs a bigger violin and he has his violin lesson and should also go swimming. But when I stood up out of bed this morning I immediately got a big huge contraction. So WHAT am I supposed to do, one wonders. This is so untenable. #
