Moving In The Right Direction

Last night, I started having some crampy-feeling contractions. Things are moving along! I'm not in labor yet, not by far... at least, I don't think so. I never really got this far with Maggie. I don't think I had any crampy contractions before her birth, just some of the usual pain-free Braxton Hicks variety (and those only in the days leading up to her induction). But there's no regularity, and they go away when I lie down on my side, so this must just be practice. Exciting! But still not time yet...
