Contractions are getting stronger and closer together, and I'm needing to breathe through them now, but can still walk and talk too. There is a chance of a baby by morning.
Do you have someone with you hun? Good luck!

Brandi - YAY!!!!! Thats so exciting!!!!! 
My little lady just woke me up with a HUGE bum explosion so I though I would pop on quick and type up my birth story
Yesterday at about 3.45am I woke up with what I thought was sore BH's and a really weird feeling in my bum, after about half an hour of trying to get back to sleep I gave in and decided to get up. Once I was up I realised the the BH's were a bit sore and roughly every 2-3 minutes so I went to get OH's phone to play with the contraction timer app that I put on there when I was 5 weeks pregnant. Once I realised I might be in labour I decided to wake OH up as I was really jealous that he was still asleep
At about 6am it got too sore to sit through the contractions anymore as the weird feeling in my bum got really bad if I stayed sat down so I got up and just paced the room during them, they were sore, but not too bad and I kept myself occupied by giving OH a list of housework to do then nagging him that he wasn't doing it right
As the morning went on the contractions stayed the same time apart, from 1 mins apart to 5 mins apart averaging at about 2-3 mins and I could still walk and talk through them so I was convinced I was progressing slowly because in my mind it didn't hurt enough. My mum was convinced otherwise and kept ringing me every 20 minutes screeching at me to go to hospital cos otherwise I would give birth on the toilet
At about 10.30am I started t think properly about going into hospital cos I was tired, sore and really wanted an epidural just so I could rest and get rid of the awful feeling in my bum, it seriously felt like my bowels were going to escape so just before 11am I rang the hospital, OH got my neighbor who was driving us and after some serious faffing about off we went.
We got to the hospital at about 11.25ish, was shown to a room and left on our own for about 15 minutes, when the MW came in she took my BP, listened to bubs heartbeat which was irregular and kept skipping beats, stuck me on the trace and then gave me my internal. She asked me how far along I though I was and I said "1-2cm, although I'm hoping its closer to 7" When the MW told me I was 8cm I nearly had a heart attack! We then talked for about 10 minute about pain releif and I was told even though it could be hours yet that an epi would mean I probably wouldn't be leaving hospital for at least 8 hours after the birth and I could try the G&A first until I had made up my mind.
She got the G&A set up for me and I started sucking away during contractions and laughing my head off at my voice after cos it made me sound like a man in drag After about 10 minutes my body started to push, it stung sooooo much and I started saying about how childbirth was unnatural, mother nature was a cruel old cow (The MW denied this and informed me that mother nature is in fact a man ) and I wanted a general anesthetic and to wake me up when it was done
I moved onto the bed for pushing as MW didn't want baby to fly out onto the floor and after 3-4 pushes my waters wwent in a HUGE tidal wave which eased up so much of the pressure, it felt great and I was informed that my baby had dark brown hair I carried on pushing while shouting and swearing (I'ma wuss) and then her head was born, about 5 seconds later I pushed again and she shot out like a bullet at 12.19pm after 10 mins of pushing 
I was given the jab for the placenta, but it didn't want to come out even after I was quickly catheterised to empty my bladder so there was a bit of concern I would need to go to theatre, but it came out eventually, poor OH had to go sit in the bathroom after he saw it then I had to be stitched as I tore along my old scar. Because of the kerfuffle of forgetting my pregnancy notes we were kept in longer as we had to wait for our friends to pop up to the hospital, grab our keys, walk to my flat and pick them up, but it meant that me, OH and Beth could just snuggle up and enjoy lots of cuddles.
Sorry thats a bit long and boring, I might have forgotten a few bits
I'm super glad to be home, Bethany is a cuddle monster and is doing really well with BF and tomorrow Dylan is coming home He was going to come home this afternoon but my silly mother went shopping and forgot the time and left it too late
