Practice Contractions Rock My World

Practice contractions or Braxton Hicks contractions are the best... they do very little, catch you bit off guard, and continue for oh what has it been 4-6 weeks now? I love them... I especially love them at 2am, because generally they happen to coincide with leg cramps... which by the way are a peachy way to wake up... while it is still dark out. I think it is time for the real contractions to start, let's get this show on the road. Okay maybe not quite yet... maybe they can start in 2 weeks that way we hit the 37 week mark, but maybe they can subside for a just a few days. At this point they arent really painful... more annoying, like being poked with a stick, over and over again, while you are trying to sleep, or eat, or do anything like a normal person. Oh the joys of pregnancy. Did I mention that I cant sleep anymore. Well that isnt true, I can sleep... sorta, if I find the exact right position and try very carefully not to move so that my back doesnt hurt like crazy. Can you tell that this sleep deprivation is making me crabby, well it is. Let's just say that at this point in time I am truly a joy to be around, and I can only imagine how much more pleasant I am going to be as the temperature rises and July creeps closer. Lucky lucky Brian.
