Stalling a bit...

Just a bit stalled, oh well. I am having consistent contractions though - anywhere from 8-12 minutes. And abdominal pain, along with back pain. The worst part is when it contracts - it swells up into the torn ligaments under my ribs (which they can't do anything about until the baby is born) and that is excruciating. Because that is constant, I am thinking that will be worse than the actual labor itself. My next appointment is Monday, so I am looking forward to that. However tomorrow is the 16th, and I had a dream a couple of months back that I had a choice that he would come on May 16th or Halloween. At this point.... please don't let it be Halloween!!!!
