ohhh...THATS what contractions feel like!?

well on my way to 38 weeks-- and finally got some contractions. i never got braxton hicks so i was never really sure what i was looking for but everyone said i would "just know"...turns out they were right.

they hurt, but obviously its not the real deal, and they are bearable. they stop me for a second and then i go about my day. they started a few days ago and have become more often/painful but still not the big ones that mean its go time! nothing time-able or consistent yet. My doctor told me to wait until they are 5 min apart, for 2 hours, and bad enough that i cant talk through them. so we wait! we took a long walk today; i figure i'll try to walk the next week or so, see if it helps contractions along at all.

everyone still seems pretty sure she will come early; i'm not sure what i think anymore! lord knows the girl has dropped majorly in the last week, but i'm still not sure when she'll be here. i have a doctor's appointment on monday at 4, my first pelvic exam--so im anxious to see if i've made any kind of progress. i'm not getting my hopes up by any means, just curious! but i will say... i'm ready for her to be here :)

this week is my last week at work; i kept saying i was working till she came but thats just a big red flag that i'm new haha...i hit that wall everyone told me about. i'm sore, i'm tired, uncomfortable...just feeling worthless. i'm ready to either have a baby, or be done with work- i just can't waddle around the office anymore lol. so 5 more days of work, and 2 weeks till my due date.

cant wait for this little girl to make her debut so we can meet her, and her daddy & i can love on her :)
