I am one likely to forget things later, so I'm starting this series to remember things to say to tiny. Who knows? They might come in handy.
You have been growing in me for just over 30 weeks or so, and they say that I'm supposed to be having practice contractions or braxton hicks contractions. Well those are supposed to last for maybe a minute of tightening and be irregular.
Nope. For the last two days my belly has been mostly hard and uncomfortable. I can't bend over. I can't lean over. I can't pull up to my desk because my upper belly is so dang hard.
Commence freaking-out call to the OB on call to see what's going on. At first I'm told to go home and time contractions. "But they last for hours." After a consult with the doctor the nurse called back saying that likely you, my child, are just fixated on staying in a really uncomfortable spot and refusing to move. "Change positions and drink some ice water. For some reason babies don't like that and move."
And so the battle of wills begins...
(I sooooo look forward to meeting you!!!)
