20-8-2009 - Contractions and a rainbow! MEGA excited and in pain!My mood while writing this blog:
MEGA excited and in pain!



Ok, despite trying not to get excited..........I am sooooooooooooooo beside myself!! haha


I have been having contractions since 6am this morning, its now just gone 7pm and they are still going. They are not regular but they are getting closer (around 8-10 mins apart) and they are DEFO getting stronger.....ouchy! PLEASE dont let them stop, I cant handle false labour! lol.


I know that my cervix was still closed around 12pm as the midwife came to do a sweep. Its still very soft and central so the midwife thinks something is going on in there!! Not sure if my cervix will just open right at the last minute, I hope so!


To top it all, about 20 mins ago there was a beautiful rainbow outside the front of the house. So even my sign is there, this is sooooooo perfect, if I have her tomorrow it will be exactly a week before her Daddys birthday :)


Wish me luck! If I go into hospital for the big push I will try to get a note on here to you all.


Lots of love! Rach and Emily-Rose x x x

PLEASE RACH ENJOY EVERY SECOND OF YOUR LIL ONE IT IS AMAZING HOW SOMETHING SO SMALL CAN CHANGE YOU SO MUCH! AND TIME FLY'S! SORRY FOR THE COMMENT IT LOOKS LIKE A BOOK =.)
