40 weeks 6 days..

well.. last night was interesting.

I was pretty sure i was in labor at one point. I could not walk becuase i was having so much downward pressure from baby in my pelvis and i had these sharp pains that kept happening everytime i would stand up straight or sometimes when i would sit down.

Then during dinner i was having mild contractions every 5 minutes..so i ate, and then we came home.

Then they were every 8-9 minutes and much more intense..i laid down on the couch. They were still intense and every 11 minutes, so they weren't regular at all.. Now this is all in a time span from about 6pm-10pm. By the time i went to bed at 11ish they were every 12 minutes and even more intense.. so i put three extra towels on the bed in case my water broke and went to sleep.

At around midnight i realized that my thigh muscles on the back were very sore, almost crampy, like i had been riding a bike or really exercising.. So i drank some water- because i do not want more Charlie horses..bleh. I had a horrible night of sleep... contractions woke me up sometimes, then sometimes stupid dreams would wake me up (like driving down a road with about 20 tornadoes on each side- really vivid) or Sean would pull the covers off of me and get all mad when i tried to get them back (he's very irritable in his sleep lately- which just makes me more mad).. at one point he told me "Either pick it up or I'm going to throw it away".. i have no idea what he is talking about.

I finally woke up at 6 am and I am hurting everywhere.. My thigh muscles hurt, my calves hurt, my back is KILLING me, my shoulders are sore, my arms are sore. I feel like i felt after i started running and lifting weights, like i have been exercising for hours.. I don't know if i was just subconciously tensing with each contraction in my sleep?? I shouldn't have.. i mean, i was ASLEEP.. you can't get more relaxed than that, right?

So, i'm awake..I'm going to waddle downstairs and drink some tea and maybe take a warm bath.. i'm exhausted. I want to go to sleep, but i can not sleep in the bed while Sean is in it. It just hurts. It hurts enough to be in it by myself.. urg.
