Today May be The Day

Around 6 PM yesterday I started to get moderate cramping that became milder around 10-11 PM. I start to have a feeling that our little man is making his way soon, so I ate a decent meal, did some laundry, and showered before heading to bed. From midnight until now (5:30 AM) I've woken up about every 45 minutes with excruciating contractions that make me gasp for air. And when I just went to the bathroom there was what seemed to be the last of my mucus plug with some brownish red discharge (never had beforehand). Now I'm awake timing the contractions, while my SO sleeps beside me because I don't want him to panick. We are scheduled for a doctors appointment for 12:45 today but may be going in beforehand to deliver this baby!
