Up all night

Ok so its 5:00 in the morning, which is the middle of the night for me. I have been having braxton hicks contractions (which are "practice contractions" that you start getting half-way through pregnancy) since yesterday afternoon. They dont hurt, they are just really uncomfortable because my stomach gets really hard, I cant breathe very well, and it makes me feel like I have to go to the bathroom (which goes away when the contraction does). I just thought I would go to sleep and let them pass, but of course they are waking me up. They aren't getting any stronger so I think its just false labor and its super annoying because I am VERY tired. Since the baby was breech on Monday the DR. told me to come right in if I go into labor because I will have to have a c-section. But am i in labor? First of all, I am not going to wake up the DR. to ask him because this does not feel anything like my labor last time. Secondly, I dont want to wake up anyone to come watch Addysin. If we had no children then i might consider going to the hospital just to get checked because I am really curious to see if the baby put his head back down anyways. So instead I am blogging to pass the time. I am attempting to time the contractions but since they aren't painful its hard to tell exactly when they are starting and stopping. Basically I am just losing a lot of sleep right now and I'm going to be exhausted tommorrow. One great thing is that Chris is here and not in Washington still. I would be really nervous right now if I was alone.

That is awful!!! Sorry to hear that you can't sleep, I guess it is getting you ready for the baby to come!!! If you need someone to call in the middle of the night my phone is right next to me and I will walk across the grass and sit with addysin!! So don't worry about it that is what neighbors are for!
