Part One:
October 18th 3:30AM-I wake up from a dream of a little girl crying to her mom because she's in pain, little did I know that was me in pain! Dreams are funny. I was having contractions...first of all Do I even know what a real contraction feels like? Nope. But whatever was going on hurt real bad and was coming every 6 minutes. Count it out for about an hour. Finally Kameron is awakened by my moaning, and from there on they get further apart..6, 7, 8, 9 minutes. Talk about a let down! Kameron was able to go back to sleep-lucky-but I would fall asleep for a few minutes than be woken up by pain. This goes on until Kameron's alarm at 6:45am. Get up-just have very irregular "contractions" some strong and some not.
Part Two:
Finally get about 45 minutes of sleep, but once again pain wakes me up so I just lay there wondering why I have to go through this and why is this not the real thing?! But I do have a Dr. Appointment at 11:20 to check the baby and talk about "options" So finally I am at the Dr.'s and she asks if I'd like to be induced. Let me tell ya, I was so prepared to hear "Go home, wait it out" But the little guy scored an 8/8 on his well-being test! And she says I can be induced Tuesday at 5am. I'm so caught of Guard I start rambling about who knows what. Thank goodness Kameron was there to help me sort my thoughts and make the plan to be Induced on Tuesday Morning!
Part 3:
So now I'm having menstrual like cramping that intensifies..contraction? every so often and getting more and more nervous that by tomorrow night I will have a baby in my arms. A little helpless person I am responsible for. Why have I been pregnant for 9months and this is just coming into my head?
Well the next couple of chapters of this adventure are yet to come! I thought "I am ready for this!" now I'm like "Whoa I don't know what I'm doing!" Probably one of The most scariest things I've ever done. But I just know it'll be worth it in the end!

You're going to be just fine!! Good luck!! It is the best thing ever. The being a mommy part not the labor part.. :-)... my advice for you.. Epidural hehe get some sleep tonight because its the last time that you'll get a good nights rest..
You will be great. The exact same thing happened to me. I totally freaked out because I knew when the baby was coming and I only had less than a day to prepare myself. It will be great. Just make sure you have a good last night with your hubby. Make it special. Good luck.
I have no idea what contractions feel like so you'll have to let me know... But I'm excited for him to come and I know you'll be great because you'll love him so much!
Good luck with everything, you guys will do great as parents. Thank heavens for modern pain killers,(epidural) they make labor so nice because it doesn't hurt! any way, I am super excited for you guys, post some pictures as soon as you have the energy!
Awww... as far as I know, you are in labor NOW! It's crazy to think. I love your reflections and realizations. I hope you look back on this in twenty years and smile. Becoming is mother is SUCH a huge step and I imagine it's completely normal to be terrified. At least that's what I'll tell myself when I'm a huge mess of anxietty and terror. I love you!!! Can't wait to hear the good news!
