Close But No Cigar

We thought maybe we were going to be heading to the hospital last night. I had some (pretty darn painful) contractions between 7pm and 8pm and then some more between 11pm and 12am. And then...nothing. I guess I was a little anxious because I ended up not being able to sleep. The couch, solitaire and a crossword puzzle did nothing to help stop my brain from thinking about what this whole childbirth thing is all about. I finally was able to relax enough to fall asleep at 4am. Maybe this is all just preparation for caring for an infant.
