Braxton Hicks Contractions

Well I was at Walmart last night shopping and walking A LOT and yeah... I started to feel a tightening feeling and from what I had read, thats a Braxton Hicks like contraction (I felt it for the first time Sunday when I was walking to Ross.)

It was like non-stop tho all thru Walmart and then I had to bend down to the bottom shelf to get some milk and it got worse..

I don't like that feeling.. its not really fun! HAHA. I guess you have the contractions basically all thru the pregnancy, just you don't always feel it. But now that I feel it, its a trip!! Everyone keeps telling me "your body is preparing for labor" GREAAAAT! Just what I want to hear.. seriously!

So yeah.. fun stuff!!!!

I had a doc appointment Monday (when do I not have a doc appointment) and the doc said she's doing good.. she passed her tests.. blah blah blah :)

I did get the ultrasound tech to type Victoria's name on the ultrasound picture so I have two pics with her name on them :) ANd I have one pic with her HUGE foot in her face! Her foot seriously looks sooo big! HAHA

She still appears to have quite the chubby face!!! (for those who don't know, we had a 4D ultrasound when I was in cali and she has really chubby cheeks!!!!) I should post some of those pics I guess huh??? Even in her normal ultrasounds her cheeks look chubby.. so yeah.. should be cute :)

I'm assuming she has red-hair but I guess we'll have to wait to find out!!! I will be SO SHOCKED if she does NOT have red hair! Seriously! Red hair is so dominant in the gene world.. plus Kevin's beard grows in red too! So.. should be interesting :) I hope she gets my blue eyes too! Unfortunately I think she has my forehead (from the 3d pics it looks that way)... or as Jennifer says, my "five-head". Poor girl! She'll have to wear bangs her whole life to cover her huge forehead! HAHAH.

I'm definately not ready for her to be born. I have days where I feel like I'm ready, but then the next day reminds me I'm not ready! Her nursery still isnt complete, my apartment is far from complete, I havent washed any of her clothes yet (Waiting for Barbara to come out to do that.. she really wants to help so I'll take it :) hahhaha), I dont even know how to put the car seat in the car yet! HAHAHA... this baby stuff is SO NEW to me! :)

On the bright side, maybe I'll feel better about everything soon because our first class is this Thursday night so maybe we'll learn something!!! And then our safety class where they teach us about the car-seat is on the 17th.

I haven't been practicing my hypnosis at all.. If she decided to be born tonight, id be in big trouble! Id HAVE to take an epidural because I'm not ready to do hypno-birthing in my opinion! I REALLY need to practice my hypnosis.. badly.. and its so easy to say "I'll do it tomorrow"

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!
