I should KNOW what these pains are.

They're not stopping. But then again, they're not regular.

I keep thinking "well, maybe I'm just having cramps and they'll go away."

But WHY else would I be having "cramps"?!?! I mean, HELLLOOOO!!?!?!

MAYBE I have to poop again. When I pooped earlier, I wiped and stood up.

When I stood up, in my mirror, I saw something fall. I sat back down, and wiped again. Well I looked down and there was a HUGE mucus strand on the floor. Confused

Man, WHY is this so confusing?? LOL, you'd think, 2nd child...you'll FOR SURE know...I guess I'm too much of a tard to know...

ok, so I just took anohter poop. It was NOTHING like the first. LOL!
WARNING: The following is T.M.I!

So, the first poop I took was hard. And on the bigger side.
This one was very soft. Almost on the diarrhea side.

Mreh, I don't wanna think anything. Cuz what if it's nothing??

yea. I had the SAME unsureness(is that a word) when I had Oni. I SWORE they would go away.

Man, this is sooo confusing!

They're now in my back, but not across my ENTIRE back...mainly on my right side. But they're radiating from the back right side to the front.

Maybe it IS the begninnings of labor...we'll seeeeee!!

I would get on my ball, but Oni harasses me for it!!!! SO when she takes her nap (VERRRY SOOON), I"ll get on my ball!!

OK, so now I'm starting to realllly wonder.

These pains are def starting to show a pattern. And it's not very spaced. I think I'm gonna call Baron soon...if they don't stop in the next 30 mins...he's DEF getting a call.

The pains are stronger, and coming closer. Walking doesn't stop them, squatting, laying on each side, so.....we'llll seeee....

Sarah I bet that this is is because your body is preparing by emptying out your bowels. that's why your pooping like that. I think that you are gonna be in active labor by late tonight.

Good luck girl!!!

My labor with Oni was sooo fast!!! And it started JUST like this!! I mean to a "T"!!!!!

I called Baron and of course he sounded frantic!! EEEK! I told him to take his damn time, that we still have at LEAST a couple hours before anything happens.

Hell, I still gotta take a shower, and shave my legs, and wash my hair.

This is total DeJa Vu!! With Oni's labor!
