There's nothing like the smell of burning microfleece in the morning. Actually it was in the evening, but my belly has gotten so large that I can't even cook without the risk of setting fire to myself. At least not on the front burners anyway. I really liked that jacket too.
I've been having contractions about 24 hours apart for the last week. Sometimes more frequently. And while they say Braxton-Hicks don't hurt, they kinda do. I didn't experience them with my other two but they catch you off guard and you kinda can't breathe and I can't tell if they actually are painful or if I am just anticipating what I know for sure to be dreadful and unavoidable.
I hate not knowing exactly when the baby is going to arrive, or exactly how it will go. I spent last week bored out of my mind because I didn't want to schedule anything or do anything in case I went into labor. This week it's the opposite and I would really appreciate it if this guy could wait until next Monday at least to make his appearance because I have lunch plans, parent-teacher conference, taxes to finish filing, seeds to plant, swimming/gymnastics lessons and a ballet to attend (with non-refundable tickets). Then the weather this weekend is supposed to be nice and Ben's on call - although he'd probably be glad to get out of that - but probably even gladder to get out of work on Monday, when it's supposed to rain and be blah. So next week is actually better for me.

Hehe, I remember that, wanting her to come and having a free week, then the next week is crazy and hoping she doesn't come. I had Braxton-Hicks throughout my pregnancy as well. Although they hurt I did enjoy feeling my stomach and how rock hard it was during them! When I went into labor we were in Walmart and my contractions started out 2 minutes apart and never changed until she came. It was torture. But, good luck with that ;) You'll be fine, and at least you know what you're in for! Can't wait for the news that he's here...and hopefully has a name!!
You know he'll come for sure this week Lynn! Just think of all the things you'll get out of, its a great excuse..
Good Luck with baby number 3:) Hopefully he'll come on a day t hat is good for you:)
it's almost worse now that you know exactly whats coming, huh! all the pre- labor is so confusing and frustrating. it's a good thing you're staying busy to keep your mind occupied...i'm glad you liked the onesies, they're too cute. i wish you well, you'll do awesome!
Actually... you can avoid the pain. Get an epidural, you'll thank me after :)
