Oh - DH and I stayed up until 3am one Sunday night with contractions every 5-7 minutes (good thing World Cup Soccer was on so we had something to watch! LOL) and then decided I had to get some sleep and when i woke up they were gone.

BUT the real thing started up on the Tuesday night and DD was born at 3am on Wednesday. It's a good sign that your body is 'practicing' for the big event.

Good luck! Hopefully you don't have TOO long to wait!
