First Braxton Hicks

Tuesday night was my first Braxton Hicks contraction.  I've been waking up several times a night due to movement, having to go to the bathroom, dry mouth, or minor shortness of breath (more on that later), so I wasn't that surprised when I woke up at 4am feeling some tightness in my stomach.  I thought it was the baby stretching or moving, but I realized soon enough that the tightness was continuous for about 20-30 seconds.  Kind of cool, as I've heard other mom's talk about these, but hadn't yet experienced one.  Just a reminder that labor day is just around the corner!  Still so much to do, but I cannot wait for June to get here either!
