Braxton Hicks Contractions...Hmmm

I am definitely no longer a stranger to the sensation of Braxton Hicks contractions. I've been having them for a while now, but they have been increasing over the last week. Christmas day I stayed very busy, possibly overdoing it a bit I confess, and had so many contractions! They didn't hurt of course, nor were they regular, so I knew I wasn't in labor. But I can't say I didn't hope!

Now that the 9 month point is finally here, I am anxious for this baby to come. Not so much due to discomfort, as the fact that it is harder and harder to go to work these days. First there's the Holidays, plus the excitement of our new baby's arrival, added to the fact that my brain cells are definitely decreasing! Yeah, I don't want to go to work tomorrow. All I want to do right now is think about Baby Holohan and nest! But, hey, not much longer now. And thanks to those Braxton Hicks contractions, hopefully my body will be a little more prepared than before. The hospital bag is packed, the car seat is in the car, and we are ecstatic about meeting our new little baby!
