Braxton Hicks, Party of One...

I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions for a few weeks now, and yesterday was absolutely crazy! Baby was all over the place yesterday and I had alot more Braxton Hicks than has been usual for me so far. I called the Dr.'s office yesterday just to make sure that was Ok adn they said that as long as there were not 4+ in an hour that it was fine. I started keeping track and that didn't happen, but it still made me a bit nervous, being a first time pregnant person! They also told me to put my feet up and rest when I got home and to drink alot of water. Nick took care of dinner and everything when he got home and I just rested all evening. We also read the section about Braxton Hicks in the book just to further calm our first-time parent nerves. Today is much better. Baby is also taking it easy on me today - I think he wore himself out yesterday! Last night before I fell asleep he made the weirdest movements ever - way different than anything he has done so far - and I felt some sort of body part, but I have no idea which one. Maybe a foot, a hand, his little head...I don't know. It was very cool but very weird all at the same time! He was very unruly yesterday and I'm glad he's taking it easy today!
