Congratulations, Loopy! :) Might not have been exactly the birth you were planning, but the main thing is the safe arrival of your LO and I'm glad it sounds like things weren't too traumatic for you. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
Another grumpy morning here. Was having loads of BH last night, getting increasingly stronger and closer together. I was having them regularly every five minutes and lasting for thirty seconds, on the border between uncomfortable and painful.
I took paracetamol and tried changed positions and they continued. DH half filled the birthing pool in preparation, then we decided to get some rest while it was still possible, fairly sure things would kick off stronger over the coming hours. And, of course, at that moment everything stopped. 
Then not-so-DD1 decided that 5:20am was wake up time this morning and nothing would dissuade her otherwise. DH got up with her for the first couple of hours and now I'm listening to her whine incessantly watching her while he catches up on sleep a bit. Net result, we're both tired and fed up while she is hyperactive in the sunshine.
It's one of those days where I wish we had family nearby to offload her on! Unfortunately, we don't have anyone.
