- Mommy thoughts:
- Last pregnancy, I was preoccupied with making decisions like choosing a pediatrician and a daycare. It's nice that those things are already decided this time around, but one thing we need to figure out is who will watch Rooney when the baby decides he is ready to come out!
- I have been feeling Braxton Hicks contractions about once a week. My belly gets hard and contorted (I thought this was just the baby moving into a funny position, but after reading one of my pregnancy apps, I believe it is a contraction). Am I the only person who enjoys Braxton Hicks contractions? They are sort of uncomfortable, but it's fun to feel my tight belly and see it in a contorted shape.
- I am so thankful I haven't had heartburn yet this pregnancy!
- I've had an increase in discharge this week, and feeling things change "down there." We've been walking to the park the past few nights, and by the time we get home, things feel kind of loose down there, like the baby might fall right out! Eric says it's not June 11 so he can't come yet. I should have told him my due date was June 1 since Rooney came 10 days early and he still can't seem to wrap his mind around that!
- I pre-registered at the hospital this week. I was shocked to see that on my "to-do" list already!
- I have my glucose test tomorrow!
