What was that?!

Wow. At 1:30 this morning, the yardwork and busyness of the day caught up with me, as I was awakened with some serious contractions. Being so out of it with sinus medication, I initially wanted to panic, until I realized the regular, consistent contractions weren't getting worse, but did last for over 4 hours. It was a long night/morning, since I couldn't sleep from the discomfort of them, until I finally became conscious enough to remember to drink something. After a glass of OJ and some banana bread, they stopped fairly quickly. I've had some more this evening, so am drinking often to keep really well hydrated since I know that can affect things. I'm trying to be positive and remember this is just good practice for my uterus. It just doesn't feel too great. Off to bed, to try to sleep while I can!
