18 days...

...not sure we will last that long. :) It has been a somewhat difficult week. I've had lots of contractions, often concentrated in a regular pattern for hours before dissipating. It's quite confusing to know when labor is starting. I've officially had two times where I thought it was really it only to find out eventually that it wasn't. When I talked with the doctor today at my 37 week appointment, she was shocked that I haven't gone to the hospital yet considering what I've been through. That was oddly comforting. She could tell by my progression (4cm) that my contractions haven't been a whole lot of fun.

I'm taking it easy a lot these days. I have been reading, watching movies, and keeping my feet up as much as possible. I nightly spend 2-4 hours on the couch with contractions, so naps in the day have become a must. Part of me feels lazy and the other part is too tired to care. :)

Anyway, the anticipation is growing and we are so eager to find out if there is a Sophie or Creed in our family!
