34 weeks

34 weeks down, 6 to go.
SIX!
Ok, I’m getting excited!
What’s IN:
Contractions:   That’s right:Contractions, not Braxton Hicks.   I’ve been having a few here and there, but they started really coming last night.  I was cooking dinner, and had one.  I just sat on the floor, surprised.  2 min later, another.  5 minutes later, another.  Finally, I got a clue, laid down [...]

Venting

“My God girl, you are huge!”
“Are you sure [...]
