Contractions- When will they be the REAL ONES??

Well I was up last night at 11pm, 2am, 4am and then 6 this morning for pee trips. That is crazy in itself, but I was also up from 3am-4am for the hour straight with lower back contractions. I was actually planning everything out in my mind from getting up, taking a quick shower, calling my mom to come over and of course calling R & S. The contractions weren't painful, just bothersome so I didn't wake up Al yet. I kept thinking I would wait until they got worse. At 4am after an hour of basically laying there, I got up to walk around a bit (and pee again) and decided I would lay back down to try to get some rest. Then- the contractions completely stopped!

So this morning I get up come to work and attend a marketing meeting for 3 hours and sure enough- right before I am scheduled to speak, the contractions start up again. They were about every 10 minutes, in the lower back again- but much harder this time. I managed to make it through my quick presentation ok (during a contraction!) and then excused myself to go to the restroom. I wanted to walk around a bit to see what would happen and also wanted to text Al to give him a heads up. Of course, after I walked around.......everything completely stopped again.

These contractions are just teasers!!! We'll see if anything starts up again but it has been over an hour now since anything has happened. Guess it's time to get back to work now!
