Close to Home

Well, our car should be up and running soon, and in the mean time my mother in law left me her car while they are in Northern Idaho for the next week, so all bases covered there.
Last night however, at about 8pm, I started getting back pain. Thought nothing of it and continued my evening. An hour later the pain intensified and I timed the waves of pain. Every 6-8 mins. apart ! I called my friend in San Fransisco who is a labor and delivery nurse, and she had me feel my stomach in time with my back pains (I have never felt contractions in my tummy always in my back) for a half hour. Things by then started slowing down but I had some good contractions and decided to hop in the shower and ease the pain. Eventually it all went away but I called my OB this morning and I am to take it easy, drink lots of water, and stay close to home as it could be any day now. We will see how things are progressing on Thursday and we could have a baby by next week!
