Moving along

I have been watching Friends and timing my contractions for the past 2.5 hours, they are anywhere from 4 min to 12 min apart. I plan to call Karen when they are consistently about 5 min apart, so we still have a ways to go. They are strong and require all my concentration, standing feels better then sitting or kneeling and I just put the heat pack on my back, it already feels like it is helping. I am drinking Gatorade and eating honey pretzels. I have not called Melissa and I am trying to let Craig sleep since I figure I will need him later this morning. I can't stop thinking about Kylie, I hope she is sleeping well and I am getting more and more excited to meet this new little baby. I hope things continue to progress, it is hard work, but well worth it.
