I had an hour of contractions. It hurt.

Apparently, in my orgy of productivity today (and four hours of yard work yesterday) I forgot to drink enough fluids. Dehydration leads the body to release, not only anti-diuretic hormones, but oxytocin. Oxytocin causes uterine contractions. Suckiness ensued.

I've drunk tons of water and two glasses of orange juice in the past two hours and am feeling much better. Of course it happens while Bruce is away in Charlottesville and I'm all alone.

I'm going to stay up another hour to keep hydrating, then lots of sleep.
