Contractions tapered off in the night but are back on first thing when I got up! I skipped church because of that (and because I’m so tired of “you’re still pregnant!?” “No baby yet!?” comments.) Hoping I can a) keep these going and b) get them stronger! Once Hubby gets home we’re going walking and doing other baby encouraging activities
