**UPDATE 8pm: Still contracting, but more intensely and the contractions are closer together. Pray for patience, speed, and ability to cope.

We just came home from our midwife's house and I am in pre/early labor. Hard labor could happen in the next few hours OR in the next couple of days. Who knows! Andy wasn't able to go on his retreat (so I get to have him home with me!), so we're just going to keep walking, enjoying time together, and eating/resting well. We'll let you know when something changes.

The body is a miraculous thing. All of these contractions are not too comfortable and they are very tiring. I know that, even though it sometimes doesn't feel like it, they are productive and they are doing their hard work. I will just focus on continuing to nourish the baby, nourish myself, and let the contractions keep doing what they do.
