my first contraction

Well I believe I had my first contraction yesterday. *sigh*. I was sitting in my seat and I go to get up and it was like a lightening bolt in my body and suddenly I couldn't stand.. But I managed to hobble over to the couch and it lasted abt a minute.. And that was it. Haven't had another one since. But I've been feeling light pressure all day in my stomach and "down there."

I had another ultrasound today and the baby measured around 8 1/2 lbs :) and he was alll the way down. My guess is that he is engaged and ready to go! I am ready to go as well. I want to meet my son and start mamahood. Right now its really just a waiting game- life can't start until baby is here! I feel that perhaps I should enjoy these last couple of days- 10 to be exact. But I don't want to. I want to start the process. I want to start labor and go through it so I can get to delivery, etc.

I went to Target after my appt today and I started wandering around registering for more baby items :) I needed some in-store stuff as well as online stuff b/c it looks like my invite list to the bris is gettin' big! But, regardless, I started wandering over to the big boy section and I was like "well I can start stocking up on this and that..." And I could just hear my mother in my head "You don't need any of this stuff now, you don't have room! are you crazy???" So the little voice in my head stopped me from going crazy in the big boy department at Target- hehe..

But I did buy some Similac, some breast soothing stuff, a couple of baby boy clearance items and 2 cards- 1 for the papa for Father's day and 1 for the Mama to thank her for all the hard work she has done this pregnancy. Awwww....

:D
