Some days I feel like I don't know anything...
Had a doctor appointment today and when my doc went to measure my belly she said "I'll have to wait a minute because you're having a contraction." I'm like "What are you talking about?"
I had no idea. I knew that your belly what supposed to get all hard when you had the braxton hicks contractions, but I thought for some reason that every time my belly did that, it was just the baby stretching forward! Who knew all this time it was just contractions (like 10 times a day!)
On top of that, while laying in bed at 2:30 in the morning, my tummy was having these spasms. I thought, my stomach is having those strange muscle spasms again (because they've been happening like once a week for about a month)... When all of a sudden I came to the realization that they were hiccups!!! :o) I was so happy about this revelation that I woke up Trav so that he could feel the baby's hiccups too.
Anyway, I thought I would share my new joy of pregnancy. Only now I worry that I won't have any idea when I'm in real labor if I didn't even know what a contraction was. Hmmm....

Oh funny story. I swear being prego and then becoming a parent really does make you feel like you don't know ANYTHING!
Sorry we couldn't make it to your shower. We had a trip planned to go camping with Justin's Family. Hope you had fun! Hopefully I will see you soon.
