Contractions

So last night, Whit started having contractions at around 8:30.  They got more frequent and more intense as we were walking around the mall and then literally walking AROUND the outside of the mall to get back to our car.  They continued pretty much all night until we went to bed.  Then they may or may not have stopped while she was sleeping.  When she woke up in the morning, they continued and have been occurring all day until now.  For the most part they've been pretty irregular and apparently not painful.  I did make her go on a walk with me around the block after church though to see if they would get more intense.  While we were walking around the block, she was having them about every 2 minutes or so and they were lasting for around 45 seconds, with some being quite intense.  Anyway, apparently they're slowly getting more intense, so who knows.  This could be the real thing or it might not be.  We'll see!  She is still 2 and 1/2 weeks away from her due date.
