Oh Internet, Is There Anything You Can’t Do?
Did you know that you can track your contractions using the magic of the Internet? Well, you can! At Contraction Master, you hit your spacebar when the contraction starts, and again when it ends, and the site tells you how long your contractions are lasting and how far apart they’re coming. (Thanks to the ever-resourceful Nina for the tip!) Here’s what Contraction Master has to say about the last hour of my life:

05:42:31 am 05:43:02 am 30 secs 4 mins, 35 secs

05:24:11 am 05:24:45 am 34 secs
I think the contractions are trending longer, but I’m not sure. It’s still pretty all over the map. Really intense ones seem to alternate with weaker ones. The doctors say to stay home until contractions are five minutes apart, lasting a minute apiece, and things have been that way for an hour.
