Having contractions!

Jeff and I were watching a movie last night and my tummy started hurting really bad. It just felt like menstrual cramps. Jeff asked me if I was having contractions and I said No because my tummy wasn't tightening up and I told him that it was just cramping. A few minutes later he could tell they were really hurting me and he said, "Are you sure those aren't contractions?" I said, "I dunno, but it really hurts." I told him to pause the movie and I called Breann. I said, "Hey, Breann, what do contractions feel like?" She said, "Menstrual cramping." Jeff heard her say that through the phone and as soon as he heard "Menstrual cramping" he jumped outta the bed. It was funny :) We got ready a little bit and packed some things and then decided it would be best to go to bed and try to get some sleep and then go to the hospital first thing in the morning. So that's what we did. IT WAS HORRIBLE! Could NOT go to sleep, then when I did, I kept waking up. Ben kept moving all night, on top of having contractions all night, but they weren't consistent, so I kept trying to go back to sleep. It was the worst night ever. So this morning, Jeff's alarm clock goes off at 6. He snoozes it till 6:30, and then we both get up and I tell him to go ahead and go to his meetings, because my contractions kinda stopped. And now all day today I've had little contractions. I just hope something happens before today is over because I do not want last night to happen again tonight :( COME ON, BEN!!
