Last night was interesting. Though we didn't really realize how interesting until this morning.
Starting at about dinner time, I started to notice that I was having contractions pretty close together. Not painful, just really tight, my basic tight BH contractions. So after we put Evan down to sleep and while we were sitting on the couch, I decided to time them just to see really how close together they were. I was surprised to see they were 4-5 minutes apart!
I was drinking water and I was pretty well hydrated, and I had been moving around and walking, even if I was just sitting at that time. But we were unfazed. We're all pros, remember? We've been here before. I had the same thing happen when I was pregnant with Evan.
That time we were surprised and unprepared, and as I lied in bed on my left side, drinking water and timing contractions, my husband was occupied packing a to-go bag, just in case we needed to go to the hospital. We'd been so sure it was too early to pack anything, that the contractions episode caught us off guard and we were excited and panicky at the same time. But alas, that was a false alarm. And we were really alarmed for a little while!
This time, we figured it was the same thing, and we just went to bed after a while. Though the excitement kept me awake when it happened with Evan, this time around I just slept. I figured if the contractions were something to really worry about, they would wake me up. I had contractions in my dreams, but they never woke me up, and in a few hours it was back to normal. Just the same thing as with Evan, nothing to worry about.
The interesting part was when I found the post about that false alarm with Evan. Turns out I was 36w5d along that time. Exactly as far along as I was yesterday! What are the odds?!?
So Evan and Bear are starting to act alike. Which to me means two things: Bear is going to be as awesome a baby as Evan was (fingers crossed on that one!), and Bear will not be here early. Two more weeks!
