Holy cramps, Batman!

Whew, all day since my appointment this morning I have been having these horrendous cramps. I tried to keep track of them for awhile to see if there was a pattern but there doesn't really seem to be. Not only that but sometimes they last for like 3 or 4 minutes at a time. Apparently this is quite common after stripping of the membranes, but it did not happen last time, at least not for nearly this long. I think on Wednesday I was only mildly uncomfortable for a couple of hours after he did it. So I am hopeful that maybe this time it was a little more successful since we're going on 9 or 10 hours now. I've been up and about all afternoon too doing random things around the house, vacuuming, making curry, alphabetizing my VHS tapes, you know, really important stuff. So now I am going to lay on the couch and watch Prozac Nation and hope that the "cramps" progress to "contractions" and I can finally have this baby already.

In case that doesn't happen, we have an ultrasound on Wednesday at 4:45pm, and the NST on Thursday morning at 9:30am.
