I guess my uneventful days couldn’t go on forever! I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I was having more contractions than usual, although they felt the same in intensity as they always had. The nurse hooked me up to a monitor, and sure enough, they were coming approximately every 6-10 minutes. Fortunately, the nurse and doctors weren’t concerned, as long as I wasn’t experiencing any associated pain. It was the one time that I was actually a bit worried and the powers-that-be were nonchalant – in the past, the doctors would scurry around with stern expressions on their faces and start adjusting medications, while I laid there thinking, “What’s going on? I feel fine!” Now that I finally was feeling something, I expected the docs to hit the roof! But thank the Lord, they were unimpressed, and continued to be so, even though the contractions continued at the same pace until early afternoon today. They’ve finally quieted down, and I have as well. 🙂 I’ve relished the relative quiet of the afternoon, and tried to rest and regain some of the energy I lost by pulling the all-nighter. I suppose I’m just practicing for the sleepness nights to come!
