Labor Pains

Ouch!  It's around midnight on Friday night and I awoke to very painful cramping.  This could be the real deal - contractions.  I started timing them and they were  - 10 minutes apart.  After a couple of hours they still continued and they were 5 minutes apart.  I knew this was IT.  Time to wake up David.  It was 3am at this point and he had trouble believing I was in labor.  He started to get ready, make a pot of coffee, pack his overnight bag, all while I was at the door ready to go.  We left the house at 3:45am - contractions down to 3 minutes apart.
