Contractions

The past couple of days have been full of 'em!  As if I wasn't already completely and totally uncomfortable at this stage in pregnancy with all the added "beat up" parts of my body starting to fail me.  I am just truly miserable right now.  UGH!  I keep praying that as soon as this baby is fully developed, it get here as soon as possible please!  This poor mother can't take another 3 weeks of throbbing veins, a sore pelvis, pinching pain, and contractions.  Last night they were around 10 minutes apart.  They didn't hurt, but, I was definitely hoping they would end up waking me with the need to go to the hospital early this morning.  I NEED TO HAVE THIS BABY NOW!!!!  Part of me is worried too that the school my husband HAS to attend in order to be qualified to do his next duty station will not be too excited about the idea of my husband missing a day of school for me to have a baby.  This is another reason why I think I may be contracting already (OUCH! shooting pain as we speak!).  Maybe they aren't going to be nice about it and my only chance to have him around is to have this baby this week.  I'm not really sure, but.... I really really hope this baby comes soon.  Maybe I should give up on my "vote" of the day I would like to deliver, and start focusing my prayers to help this baby come when it's father can be there and be of the most help to the rest of the family without interrupting work duties.  I think if it means I get to go earlier than my hoped for day, I can live with that, right?!  Earth is ready for you baby!!
