The Sleep Bandit

I finally figured out why I've been waking up so often in the middle of the night: contractions. They've gotten increasingly stronger since just after my last doc appointment. I thought at first I just kept waking up having to pee, but then when I shifted a bit in bed, I realized that I did not have to pee and I was having a contraction! They have become increasingly stronger and can even be painful at times, so I have no doubt that's it. I guess it's a good thing...hopefully my cervix will be cooperating with all these contractions and I'll have made some progress at my next appointment on Wednesday...
