Could be it...

I had my membranes stripped yesterday (Wednesday) morning at 11AM. It hurt. Bad. But I got through the 30 secs of pure agony because I knew I had a good chance of going into labor with it done.

I've had contractions off and on all day. Had a two painful ones right after dinner and then they kind of fizzled so I decided to just call it a day and get some sleep.

Woke up at 2AM with a painful contraction. They've been coming every 8 to 10 minutes and lasting around 50 seconds. I don't want to get my hopes up but at the same time, IF this is it, Bill is 3 hours away. At what point do I call him? Do I wait until I can barely talk? Do I time them for another 30 minutes? Of course, these are rhetorical questions.

I think I just got my answer. I've called Bill and will call my parents in a little bit. Hopefully, the next time you read this, I'll have photos of Samantha to go with....
