Hey Mandy!  Well, I'm not positive that they're "real" contractions.  The only thing I've been separating the real contractions from the false labor stuff is that it's been starting in my back and moving around to my belly.  But, mine haven't been growing closer together or more intense...so, I guess that doesn't define real contractions either. 

Mine is probably more wishful thinking than anything.  However, according to some ladies I've been talking to about contractions all said their's started in their back and wrapped around and with time grew closer together and more intense.  The other day, mine were lasting about 30 seconds to a minute, but were about 8 to 9 minutes apart.  If I had to assign it a pain level, I would give it about a 2 or 3 out of 10.

Of course, I'm working the old wives tales now about walking and well...you know what else.  But, so far no luck.  How about you?  How have you been feeling lately with your contractions and pregnancy? 

Hope our time is soon!!!  Cheers to having babies!

 Hi Mandy,

I like the name Jonah.. it's such a nice name, too! I also have finally sorted out all the baby stuff, putting it away in the dresser, setting up all the little diaper changing things on a side stand, etc. I haven't washed everything yet but plan on doing that maybe tomorrow. :)

Have fun...! We're in the home stretch! Lol

Mandy,

My personal preference is Jonah. I also think Jonah Raleigh sounds good as a first/middle name together.  As nice as it is to have a name "ready" to go, maybe you do indeed want to wait to write anything in "stone" until you see his face. You may look at him and just "know" what his name should be! :)

Both names are very nice but if I had to choose between the two I think I would go with Jonah...what would the middle name be for either name?
