The moment finally came.

Time: 2:14 am, July 14, 2006

 

Now is midnight, and I'm having irregular contractions.  Yeah, it finally came.  Maybe peanut knows that if he hasn't shown any signs of coming out by noon, someone will "disturb" his sweet dreams.

 

The cramp-like contractions started around 10:00 pm and got stronger and stronger over the next few hours.  But they are still irregular now and last not very long.  I called peanut's dad to come home around 12:50 am.  Although I don't know how long I need to wait to go to the hospital (it may take hours to have a regular pattern), I need him to be with me.  After all, it's my first time to experience labour.  Actually, when the contractions started, I was not sure whether they are the ones.

 

The contractions now are not so bad as they are very short and not very painful.  It'll be a long night for us.
