False Labor or the Real Deal?

Today marks a day when contractions became my reality. Frequent and regular contractions, I must say. For the past two hours I've had one every ten minutes, on the minute. Will this progress to one every five minutes or come to a stop so I can get a night's sleep? My mother is here tonight as Steve is at work, and I can't thank her enough for her company! We'll see if I end up being admitted to the hospital sometime between now and daylight....exciting times! Really, despite the uncomfortable tension of the contractions, the excitement for what lies ahead carries me through! Stay tuned!
