  Sunday night was Dad's birthday. It was not the best night for me. I had contractions start at about 4ish and they continued late into the night.
I was able to go out for dinner because they were infrequent and not overly painful. About 8pm my back started aching and i wanted to go home. When we got home, Andrew was in the shower so as soon as he got out i ran a bath, but there was no hot water!!! I had mum boiling the kettle and saucepans on the stove while i was hunched over my bed with Joanne massaging my back. I said to Jo that if these were Braxton Hicks, i didn't want to have a full on labour. Mum
