Frustrating!

A.M.
40+6. I finally had signs last night. Regular, super painful contractions, bloody show (which has been going on for almost a week), sick to my stomach, etc. My midwife even told me that I was in early labor! Then they started tapering off around 4 am. I'm still having infrequent contractions, some of which are painful, but oh my gosh how annoying is this!
