The calm before the storm

Without going into TMI territory, signs started coming up on Friday that Monkey's arrival may be sooner rather than later. Monkey has definitely dropped. JD no longer looks like she has a beach ball under her shirt...it looks like a large beanbag under there now.
After meeting with her parents for b'fast at Cracker Barrel and handing over the kids, we retreated to the house and spent the day in bed resting. Last evening, JD started to get little contractions (20 seconds or less in length) every 3-5 minutes. I retired to sleep in the 9pm hour to further stock up on sleep. JD told me this morning that the contractions started to calm down when she had a bowl of cereal after I went to bed and pretty much went away overnight.
We plan on continuing our coma-like state today until either the kids come home (her parents usually return them between noon - 2pm) or Monkey starts getting active enough to warrant going to the midwife's house.
