Been having contractions since last night. It's now 7+am in the morning. From the 10 mins apart contractions till about 5 mins apart now, I think it should be about time to head to the hospital. Glad that I was able to endure till now, carefully managing the contractions to my best ability so that I can send Hao to school for his field trip and then Ee to my mum's place before heading to the hospital with hubby. Not sure how's my condition now, but I am crossing my fingers that it will be a quick one for me. Though 5 mins apart, contractions are getting pretty strong and I dread what's gonna happen later on when the labour progress, as I recalled the time I had Ee without epidural. It was definitely not enjoyable with all the pain and screaming LOL. However, as much as I can I'll try to avoid epidural this time round also, and see how far I can go.

Hubby is up and taking a shower now, and I've called mum to informed her that I'll be heading to the hospital later after dropping the kids off. She sounded relieved as she's been waiting for this day too, wondering when I'll ever be giving birth and expecting my calls in the middle of the night anytime to tell her I needed to head to the hospital. This will better be THE DAY to end all our wait. It'll be embarassing if I were to go to the hospital and they declare it a false alarm and send me home to wait again right? *Gulp*

Crossing fingers and praying hard!!!
