Frustration

So, once again, some very promising contractions 15 - 20 minutes apart last night turned into back labor that kept me up half the night, and now, this morning, not much is happening.  Overnight, I felt sure we were headed to the hospital soon.  Every 15 minutes or so I would wake up with back pain and pressure.  I kept timing it and telling myself to just wait it out, so we could get the kids off to school this morning without dumping them at my dad's house at 3 AM.  Finally couldn't go back to sleep with it about 6:15 this morning, so I got on up and got a good shower, handled all my hygiene for the morning, convinced that we'd start progressing.  And I am having irregular uterine contractions this morning, but they haven't become regular or timed yet.  My back still hurts, but it's more of a dull ache rather than the intermittent back pain of back labor - which I had a lot of with my first son, so I know how that feels.

Y'all, I'm ready to go to the hospital today and have a baby.  Please, please, please let these contractions commence and get stronger, so we can go...  I'm ready.  Hubby's ready.  We're all ready.  This kid has been doing this to me all week - let's get the show on the road!!!
