I have been having contractions for four hours now. They are gradually getting more painful. I didn't tell my husband until anout 2 hours ago because I didn't want to jinx it or have a false alarm. When I told him and showed him the timer he kind of freaked out and wanted to to right to bed. I wanted to keep watching the movie to keep my mind off the pain. Hes been asleep for about an hour and the contractions are getting more painful. I will wake him up after another 40 minutes or so if they continue to be consistent and painful. But my goodness! He said he isn't ready for this tonight, I said we never will be!! Just because he isn't ready doesn't mean it isn't happening haha.
