Mommylogues: Excitement with a side of Anxious!

So i am not sure the difference between real contractions or imagined contractions?

Everyone keeps on saying i will know when the real contractions begin.

I am definitely having braxton hicks (the pre-contractions)

and those are getting me excited because i keep on thinking something is happening...

There is a sudden rush of excitement everyday

because i can't help but wonder: Is this the day?

This weekend, i kept on telling Baby Pancakes...

"today is a great day to be born because it is nice and warm outside"

but of course he wasn't listening to me.

There are two ladies i know whose due dates have come and gone

 and i am sympathetic...

i keep on thinking my experience is going to be different...

of course.

Different in that Baby Pancakes is going

to make his debut right on time or at least a few days before...

The waiting game definitely is exciting but also anxiety provoking

 in the last two weeks than the whole 38 weeks of pregnancy.

  Every sudden movement...i wonder if that's him moving south?

I am constantly worrying now

because i don't want to hurt him with my sudden movements....

all these anxious thoughts rolling in my head. I think more than anything,

i want Baby Pancakes here so i can stop being so anxious.

Also i have found myself feeling a little withdrawn...

i haven't been to church the last two weeks.

All i wanted to do this weekend was sleep.

Perhaps this is my body's way to preparing

for the hibernation that comes with having a newborn.

But i am also a little worried because my mood is a little all over the place..

And throughout the pregnancy...it's been even

I am more snappish at home than normal.

Picked way too many mini arguments with Mr. Pancakes for my own good this weekend.

I want to be carefree and not so wound up...

I want to relax and not be so tight...

I want anxious to go away replaced by complete excitement...

But before that can happen...the pain of labor has to come.

Oooh i just felt another contraction....

well at least of the braxton hicks kind!

Is today the day?

Have an awesome Monday Friends!!!!
