I made the title sound like something so positive. The truth is, I am in more pain than I ever have been in my whole life. Contractions started hours ago, got regular and stopped. Then, I was awakened by HORRIBLE, EVIL, HUGE contractions close together. Right when I said, "how long do I have to wait?" my water broke. We're off to have a baby!
