What's goin on in there?

This pregnancy has been so different than the others! I had a few BH (Braxton Hicks) contractions with Tori the last few weeks of pregnancy, but nothing like the ones I've been having the past TWO WEEKS with this little guy. I keep thinking "Today is the day!"...and 6 hours later the contractions disapear. At my midwife appointment last Monday, we got some exciting news. I was dilated 4-5cm already! My midwife laughed and actually had to check again just to make sure. She said to go home and get lots of rest, this baby was comin! Here we are, 5 days and many hours of painful contractions later, and I'm STILL pregnant. Wonder what he's doin in there that is so darn exciting??
