Contractions!

Jessica has been having contractions for a few hours now. They aren't super strong, but they are stopping her in her tracks when she gets them. Right now, they are about 10 minutes apart and lasting around 20 seconds. They do hurt her back pretty badly for those 20 seconds though!

We brought in some Chico's (Mexican) for dinner and we're getting the bags repacked. This time we'll be bringing the birthing (aka exercise) ball.

Jessica just spoke with Dr. Marks and he told us to stay put until the contractions are 5 minutes apart. If we went to the hospital now they'd send us back home anyway. No idea how long we'll be waiting...may be a few hours or it could be until morning.

Looks like there's a pretty good chance at this point that the baby will be born on her due date!

We'll be keeping everyone posted and will make another round of phone calls when we go to the hospital. For now, our poor cell phones need recharging and Jessica is going to try and rest too
