Well, we just watched a movie, during which I got 1 minute long braxton hicks like seriously every 5 minutes, the whole movie! no pain yet, but curious if it'll continue and get painful or if it'll all go away while I sleep. Will let you know either way! Good night!!

Still no baby... I had a few contractions when I went to bed last night, about 10-15 minutes apart with mild cramping. But I fell asleep and then nada. Stuff is definitely progressing, but, no baby yet!! ~H

Contractions have been coming with not painful but not exactly pain-free contractions since 8:30 this morning. Could be pre-labor, could be nothing. Will pay attention to see if they get more frequent or anything, but it's kicked us into high gear to make sure everything is ready. I just did laundry and the video camera is charging. Could be one of the very rare due date births, or perhaps Christmas eve? Or maybe New Year's eve... hmmmm... will keep you posted! I've got a feeling it's today or tomorrow, but it's just a feeling, probably jinxing myself!!

Well, right after skyping with Jen at 2pm the contractions turned up a notch. Still nothing major major - can still talk and walk through them, but definitely more intense. About every 10-30 minutes. Feeling more confident that this is going to happen tonight or tomorrow, so much so that I'm in the middle of baking the nurses' & midwives' brownies! but we can just eat them ourselves if labor is not really coming soon, haha!!
Mom, I don't know what to tell you about your flight. What time you think Uncle Dick will go to bed tonight? I hope in the next few hours things will progress and we can tell you to go ahead and keep tomorrow's flight. But it's possible things will go nowhere or even reverse. I've read about women going through this kind of pre-labor for weeks...

At 7:30pm we sat down for a movie and decided to time a few contractions. They were 8 minutes apart, 1 minute long, and pretty intense - like really bad period cramps, mostly in the front but a bit in the back. They're getting closer and stronger, but it's still possible to talk during them and to fake that it doesn't hurt (that was the sign my midwife said to give them a call - when the contractions are getting stronger and closer and I can't hide the pain anymore). Ryoji didn't think it's labor and was planning to go to work tomorrow, I told him I'm pretty sure we'll be going to the hospital sometime tonight or tomorrow morning, so he went ahead and emailed his boss.
So, mom I think probably you and dad can go ahead and keep your flight for tomorrow! Well, it's possible we'll still be at home when you arrive, or we'll be at the hospital (either 11th or 12th floor depending if we're in L&D or birth center). So we'll just have to be in touch, sound good??
We're excited to see you guys and to meet little Akapanchan of course!!
Now we're gonna try to get some sleep, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to... but need to!!
Love you!!
Heather

I called the answering service at our midwives' practice just before midnight, and got a call back 10 minutes later. she asked about what's going on and advised me to keep eating and drinking and try to rest in between contractions (that's a joke! somehow the pain is unbearable when I'm laying down, but sitting upright I can manage it, and listening to my hypnobabies tracks actually is really helping! so hopefully sitting here with my head back on the pillow and eyes closed will count as "resting".). she said to call her back when either I'm 3-4 min apart for a couple of hours, or if my water breaks. it's seems this might be a while! I've been at 5 min apart for about 5 hours. it'll be nice if the timing is right on so that mom and dad arrive just before it's time for us to head to the hospital! then we don't have to worry about the key! please call me when you arrive at JFK. If it looks like close timing, maybe you could take a taxi to cut down the commute time to about 30-45min (we'll pay you back!)

This is so frustrating!! Been at it all night but nothing is speeding up, even opposite! Ryoji's finally up and we're gonna attempt to take a walk...

Our tub doesn't have a plug, nor is it anywhere clean enough to use as a tub! haha! but a hot shower was nice. contractions have REALLY picked up in intensity tonight, and coming closer together. hopefully we'll get the OK from the midwife in the next few hours to head to the hospital...
