Okay, everyboday! Now things are happening. Mariel woke me up 2.45 am (our time). The contractions have become regular. lasting 35 seconds each with a few minutes in between. I was so disoriented when she woke me that i didn't even recognize her!
Anyway, we called the midwife, she said to call back when the contractions have become close to a minute in length. Right now the intensity has diminished somewhat so i can write this.
Will try to keep you posted.
Love,
dana
