34 weeks and counting... Well, the last week and a half has been interesting to say the very least! And exciting? Sure why not. Two Mondays past Melissa awoke in the middle of the night to a curious tightening of her uterus (a.k.a contractions). When they became regular and only minutes apart, we decided to make a dash for the ER! When we arrived the contractions were only two minutes apart! Fortunately, with rest and water Melissa was able to get her uterus under control in no time. Unfortunately, the "false" contractions (Braxton-Hicks to the layperson) have continued to the present day and Melissa (read Melissa and Bill) have had to severely limit their activities to accommodate them. Not to worry though, we've found other ways to fill our time such as putting together co-sleepers, affixing bumpers, and hanging baby art (see nesting instinct)!
