Labor update

I'm still not convinced this is the real deal. But I am hurting more. The time between contractions is back to about 8 minutes and I'm feeling a lot of constant pressure. And the monkey, who usually sits off to my left side, has moved more toward the middle of my belly. It seems she's also dropped quite a bit in the last hour.
I'm thinking I'm in for a LOOOOONG labor. The way things are looking it might be days before I'm in enough pain to try my luck at L&D. I'm going to try and get some sleep now.
Come on Monkey! April 7th is looking to be a beautiful day for a birthday!
