Braxton Hicks already....

Well, I did quite a bit yesterday...walked 3 miles in the morning, carried a bunch of totes to the basement (trying to clean out the office so I can start the nursery), took my two little ones to the pool, made about 500 trips up and down the stairs with little things, and by the end of the day, I had my first braxton hicks contraction.  Freaked me out a little as I had preterm labor with my son- nothing like this yesterday but still the memory came flooding back.  I had 6 of them last night between about 6 and 10.  Nothing consistent but I'm not ready for contractions already!!!!  Anybody else experiencing this?

Unfortunately, I can't cut my job down to 25 hours a week. :(  The kids are demanding 24/7.  Both still up at night needing SOMETHING and they are 3 and 6.  Somebody's leg hurts, somebody's scared......any ploy to try to get in our bed.  It's hard to take it easy with two of them! We just got home from Ocean's of Fun ( our waterpark) and I'm exhausted however, now both need baths, have to cook supper, and 2 loads of laundry to do you know, the list goes on and on and on and hubby just called and said he wouldn't be home until 8pm- how convienent right at bedtime!!  I like to remember the days when I was pregnant with my daughter and could sleep when I wanted, veg out on the couch and watch what I wanted, not Disney channel.....I wouldn't trade any of it for the world but sometimes, just for a few hours, it would be nice!!!  Well, the both took off for the bath so best head up!   Hope you girls are feeling well!

I don't think so..I'm not sure what they feel like but my belly gets harder at night..especially after I eat or if I have to pee..lol

I'd take it easy though! It sounds like you had a busy day yesterday.
