My mood while writing this blog: tired but happy

Hi

I think the full moon last night might have done a number on me! I started having BH contractions sometime in the late afternoon early evening and by like 8 pm til midnight when I got to bed and beyond everytime I woke up it was like I had one big contraction that lasted for hours because everytime I felt my belly it was hard, it never seemsd to let up although it must have when I wasnt paying attention. I went to the fair and walked around for like 3 hours, my back started aching, my contractions started aching a little and I just kept walking around petting horses, listening to Chicago and looking at oil paintings. My niece Renae was really sweet and rubbed my back really hard (she's the best little back rub'r)! Finally I got up at 4 am very uncomfortable, after having a bad dream and decided to get to work early as I had to get up in an hour anyway. I felt better after coffee (oops) and moving around a bit. It is now 6:30 am and I feel better and finally feel my baby girl rolling around again as my belly isnt hard as a rock anymore. I love her so much :) ! I went shopping yest and bought more last minute things that I still needed, cradle sheets, changing pad and cover etc.... I want to be ready 30 days before my due date so thats 3 more days. I still need to plan my hospital packing and hire some more help to cover me for a little while. I've been walking about 3 miles a day and hiking a little too with family. It's making my feel good! My ultrasound went fine, the tech said my baby is about 5lb 7oz, right on target. Amazing! My Dr is outa town so I'll have to wait to see her to learn any more about the ultraosund but it sounded good. Oh.....Im.... sooooooo... tired... now! Ugh! Wish I could go back to bed! Well, gotta git back to work, bye.
