Messrs Braxton and Hicks

This morning T woke up to Baby Jae pushing on all fronts. T assumed Baby Jae was stretching, which she has been doing a lot of late, asked her to relax and went back to bed. Later this afternoon the process repeated itself. Only this time T couldn't feel Baby Jae pushing at all. No knees, no butt, no little back arched across T's abdomen, just tense all over. The feeling passed and T was left with an odd, fatigued feeling as if she'd just run off a couple dozen sit-ups. We figured out pretty quick that it was a contraction. T was pretty sure that what she woke up to this morning was also a contraction, making 2 in a 12 (now 18) hour period. That's far less than the 4 in 1 hour to signal the begin of labor so we're not panicking or anything. A bit of re-reading the books and we're confident it's Braxton Hicks contractions, nothing more. We hope.
