Good Thing There's a Baby in There!

So, this seemed to happen overnight:


I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions for what seems like all day. They got more intense this afternoon. Basically, any time I stood up or walked around I felt them. It's either that, or maybe the baby is turning around. All I know is that there is an extreme tightening right across my stomach, and my whole abdomen gets really hard. It makes me want to hunch over and hug myself, and I want to hold my breath when it's happening. It doesn't really hurt, it's just uncomfortable.

Wow, one happened right now as I was typing. :) It's a pretty cool, scary, weird, exciting feeling.

Strangers are staring to notice I'm pregnant, and mostly they're really nice. They want to know the usual...due date, sex, etc.

I really wanted to go swimming when I got home from work today, but I'm too tired to put my swimsuit on. I think I'll try to go tomorrow or Thursday. It's so freaking hot outside, and it's gonna get worse!

Oh...and here are some pictures of Puddy. I couldn't resist!

Wow! That happened in about a week and a half since I saw you last!! You didn't look that pregnant then! That's cool!

Sorry you're feeling so bad. That really sucks.

I know! Of course, some of it is just the way the shirt fits, because it's not that pronounced when I wear my baggy, comfortable clothes. But, I'm bigger! I feel like I look pregnant! And I feel pregnant too, especially after today. I've been laying on the couch and I'm okay, but when I get up, ouchie! But it's not that bad.
