BabyW and I had two new experiences this weekend.
Thursday night as I was going to bed, I started having bad pains in my abdomen, I wasn't sure what was going on. The next day, I happened to be reading What to Expect When You're Expecting.... I read it about once a month, just to see what might be in store for me over the course of the upcoming month. Lo and behold, I think I was experiencing Braxton-Hicks! Well, my theory about my low tolerance of pain was tested, and was correct. Thank goodness for epidurals, because I know B-H contractions aren't even as bad as "real" contractions! They didn't last more than about 30 minutes or so, so no big deal, but an interesting new experience that I'm sure will repeat!
Then, Friday when I got home from work, I was hanging out with Jeff & his parents, when the baby was having very steady, paced movements - everyone could feel them. Someone suggested they may be baby hiccups - they didn't feel strong enough necessarily, but it was definitely a possibility. Later that night, they came back even stronger, so I think BabyW had his/her first case of hiccups! I remember Charlie having them a lot before he was born, what a funny phenomenon!
