yay, I'm in pain!

The Ridiculous Enormous Unending Number of Braxton-Hicks Contractions has finally given way to some Actually Painful, Fairly Rhythmic and Therefore Indicative of Real Labor Contractions.

I can't think of another time in my life I ever have been or am ever likely to be grateful to be in pain. It's probably a good long ways yet from here to Baby, but I'm thrilled to have started.

I'll post again when there is Baby and it's reasonable for me to post, i.e. I'm not half-dead. Though I might ask moominmolly to sub in for me with an update.

And now I'm going to go get on my hands and knees: not to thank god, but because my back is really quite tight. Yay!
