Is this it??

I ***THINK*** I might be in labor. All this false labor has made me skeptical though. I had contractions all night, as usual. But this morning, instead of stopping, they kept up. They aren't very painful though. They have gone from about 10-12 minutes apart early this morning to about 7 minutes apart lasting about 40 seconds before I left for my Dr.'s appointment.
My BP was way up 150/86 so the nurse said "something must be going on", but it could also just be excitement at the prospect of meeting my baby in the next day or so. The Dr. says I am still only 1 cm and 70% effaced. So that was pretty depressing. I asked him to strip my membranes while he was checking me and he said "that's what I'm doing right now". I felt a little pop, but it didn't hurt at all. My contractions are now about 6 minutes apart. They last about 30-45 seconds. Still not much pain. Just an achy back.
I washed my kitchen floor 3 times today. I'm going to get caught up on the laundry and clean the bathrooms and then lie down for a bit.
I decided not to go to work just in case. I don't really want to have to worry about my water breaking while I'm there or driving home by myself if the pain does get bad all of the sudden. I'm really hoping that this is the real thing, but I'm also expecting the contractions to just poop out on me any minute now like they always do.
