Not really knowing what to expect (yeah, you can read about it and all - but that doesn't do this whole pregnancy thing any justice - the books say things like breast tenderness and mild, sporadic uterine contractions - but what does that really feel like?!!?) - I had my first Braxton Hicks contraction on Friday.
I was thinking it was going to be more like cramps - good old fashioned, once a month, general feeling of ill-will in my lower gut. I guess I forgot that my uterus is now up to my boobs and it felt like I had a three inch belt on around my bellybutton that got sucked in victorian corset "hold on to the bedpost" style. Yikes! Had to sit down for a minute.
In all honesty - I always thought that Braxton Hicks were two people. Turns out it is one dude.
Oh well, you learn something new everyday - and reading about it ahead of time doesn't really prepare you for it ALL.

The Trouble with College Student Slackers
Today is Wednesday. The day where the pastry chef feigns having a day off and comes into work and leaves when she feels her pregnant assistant can handle the rest of the day. It would've been a short pastry chef day, but the College Student Slacker who is running the dessert station decided that she was going to bake off the two mini Souffles we made on Tuesday for a VIP tonight and eat them. She skipped the prep list of stuff that we left for her and instead ate souffle. Someone needs to learn that the dessert cart isn't her personal buffet stand. This put both the pastry chef and assistant pastry chef in a FUNK of a mood today that made working such a joy.
Anywho.
7th month of pregnancy - go! The kiddo is a kicker and today particularly enjoyed resting hard on my bladder - for ~2.5# and ~16", you wouldn't think it would be that big of a pressure - but dang!
As for moving - Still packing and taking boxes over to the other house. Which is coming along at a snails pace (even more so that Kelly is in Atlanta overnight for work. Maybe I can get a good night sleep - HA!
