Braxton Hicks- Got two of them last night! 31 weeks 4 days

OMG! Wow. I guess I had what were Braxton Hicks contractions last night/this morning!!! FINALLY. And oh boy. I was sleeping on my side and in the middle of sleep I guess I was half awake or half asleep and trying to make sense of what was happening to me. In my mind, I thought that I was just doing a normal full body stretch (though why on earth would I be doing that as I haven't done a full body stretch in almost a year now) while laying on my side and when I was doing that (which I wasn't doing that physically- but in my head I must have thought this) my stomach tensed up BIG TIME for a few seconds!!! And woke me right up! I switched positions... and went back to sleep... again it happened a little while later while I was sleeping on my side or back I can't remember... but omg... again... ::clenches:: HRMMPPPPPPPPPPPCCHHHHH. ::panting panting:: just like that! Braxton Hicks. How about that!

They snuck up on me while I was sleeping! Well- there you go- it was just like when I had the lightening the first time at 17 weeks.... which again occured while I was sleeping. Your mind tries to rationalize what is happening to your body without your permission! lol... so I remember thinking oh- now what am I getting all anxious about that I am getting butterflies in my tummy? LOL! NOTHING!! It was lightening!

Anyway- let me tell you it is almost 7am and already 80 degrees here. Ugh! Trying to stay cool again today... and also- um... I think Braxton Hicks can be brought on by dehydration... so I am trying my darndest to stay hydrated today. Also- it's pretty exciting!

And weirdo dreams last night- big time!
