another late one.

ah yes. here i am again. after painting the heck out of gray's room -- something i was sure would wear me out -- i'm still not able to sleep. i'm fixin to try the old bath trick here in a minute.

i've been having contractions for about an hour and a half -- they feel more intense and all-encompassing than normal. i also have some slight cramping that feels like period pain in the back and the front. i'm not saying anything.. this is just how labor started with ellie. of course, i didn't have her for another 36 hours after this process began.

anyway. we'll see. i just wanted to document how i feel. i'm sure it's nothing. thirty-five weeks is really early.

besides, all he has is a shelf, and there is nothing in a bag packed for any hospital.
