How does the 16th sound for a birthday?

I have been feeling very badly for my body lately–it has tried so very hard to get things going. With all of my children, it felt as though my body was stuck in 2nd gear during labor. But this time has been much worse with hours upon hours of contractions which were strong/painful enough to keep me up.

I woke up this morning at 2:30am with very intense contractions that are currently fairly close together. I’m waiting for them to get just a couple minutes closer and then we’re headed in to the hospital.

I’ve had maybe 5 hours of sleep (if that) in the past 48 hours so I am absolutely exhausted. But from the looks of things on paper, I think all that work Sunday night really helped give me a good boost.

Our house phone ringer is still turned off, so if you need to reach us, call our cells. Andrew promises that he’ll e-mail everyone as soon as he can. I’ll try to post here as soon as I can, and of course all the family members/close friends should receive a phone call (unless this baby arrives at some unearthly hour and by the way I feel right now, 4:30pm sounds like an unearthly hour).

Will keep y’all posted!!!
