my baby shower was held yesterday and matt got a whole heap of stuff 
i’m almost on my 38th week so i can give birth at anytime.
i went to bed at around 11.30pm hoping to sleep early (that’s already early cos i’ve been sleeping at 3am) cos i didn’t get much sleep yesterday. anyway, i started getting contractions… not too painful at first, but noticeable, like cramps when i have my period.
at around 2.30am i got the “bloody show”. basically it’s when the mucous plug that is blocking the cervix becomes unplugged and this means that things are starting to happen. labor can come hours or days later.
anyway it’s already 7am and i still haven’t had any sleep, my contractions are becoming more painful. i rang up the hospital and they said that it’s better to stay at home cos if i go to the hospital too early, i could just be sent home. their advice is to wait until it becomes unbearable and then go to the hospital.
i think from the contractions that i’m having now, it’s painful but bearable, but what’s really bothering me is it’s been 22 hours since i last slept 
when i lie down the pain is much more intense so i don’t really have much choice but to sit or move around. i just really want to go to sleep
anyway, watch this space if i give birth anytime soon. poor butch, he’s not arriving from LA until tuesday and by then i might have given birth already. or not, if these contractions are just happening just to annoy me
