Well, it looks like Davy is going to tease me just like his big sister did! I started noticing around noon today that I was having more contractions than usual. I will have Braxton Hicks on and off, but then today they weren't stopping. I had drunk lots of water, kept my feet up, and yet they were getting to be pretty regular. I timed them for an hour. They were 10-15 minutes apart. A couple of times I would have two together. These were not fake. My whole stomach tensed up and spread into my back and almost up to my shoulders. Oh the memories!
Finally I was tired and had a headache so went and passed out in my bed. (Don't worry Dad was home watching Gabbie) Of course an hour later when I woke up, no signs of contractions anywhere, not even several hours later! Gabbie did this about a week before her due date, and then I had to be induced 3 weeks later! ARRGH!
I am conflicted. I would like the pregnancy to be over and be able to hold my little one. But, is now too early? Should I be wanting this at all? Besides, I love spending time alone with Gabbie, but hate having to clean up her messes with this huge belly in the way. Then I have always thought Davy would be a June baby, and this would have him born in May, which I hadn't thought about. Okay, lets just chalk this up to irrational pregnancy brain!
That is one thing that has made me wonder if I'm nearing D-day. The fact that several times a day I can not for the life of me focus or remember things that normally are no problem. I seem distracted or distant from everything. And Gabbie has become so mommy clingy, does she sense something? I guess we will find out eventually!
