On our way in (david)

Warning: may contain mucky details

So we had a doctor's appointment earlier this afternoon, and the doctor listened to the little one's heartbeat and did some measurements and said "I guess we won't see this one till next month" - a bit of a shock till we realized it's the 28th today. This morning Tricia had some pink show (look it up for those who haven't been pregnant) and she lost her mucus plug around 7:30 this evening. According to all our books that could mean anywhere from hours to weeks till the delivery date (SO helpful, these books).

Around 9:30 Tricia started to feel back spasms, and for the past hour or so she has had 45-second contractions every 2-4 minutes, getting stronger. All signs look like this could be it, or it could be a false alarm.

So as of 10:30 tonight, we are on our way into Regina and to the hospital. If they send us away we will probably go to a hotel and go in again in the morning.

This baby might actually be on time!
