2 am

My lower back is constantly uncomfortable though massaging it helps. I am having shooting pains across my abdomen like a nerve is being hit. My contractions seem to be getting more intense but I am still not seeing much by way of clotting so I know I am a long way off yet. I have realized that the flow is about the usual for a period though the cramping is more intense than I would normally feel for my period.

I haven't exercised since Monday but I thought about it today. I haven't because I've been so uncomfortable but I've also thought that if I were at the end of a 9 month pregnancy I would be walking to get labor started. Probably walking would kick start things now too - though that idea isn't exactly appealing to me either.

In other news, Matthew told me he submitted his AGR packet last night. So now we wait and see what fate will hand us.
