So we had another sonogram this past Thursday to check the growth of "Junior". The doctor said we are right on target. When they were doing the measurements I think "Junior" was moving around a good bit but when they were done with that part and then it was time for us to watch "Junior" I think he/she decided to go to sleep (or maybe Junior is shy) and put his/her hand over his/her face...so I will have another one in 4 weeks and take something sweet to eat or drink to wake him/her up! We did get a video but I have not had a chance to watch it yet....maybe Junior was moving around more in the video because it may have been on during part of the measuring process....I will have to see.
I actually got to see the doctor twice this week because on Monday I thought I was having contractions so I finally called her on Monday night and she said they sounded like Braxton Hicks....I do not remember having Braxton Hicks when I was pregnant with Kate so I really did not know how they felt. I woke up on Tuesday morning and was still having some so I called her again and went in and she said I was not in labor and we realized that I may not be drinking enough water....so back to work I went and some of the girls at the office were waiting to see what the doctor said and one of the girls told me she had the same problem with one of her kids....not drinking enough water caused her to have painful Braxton Hicks to....so now I am drinking a LOT more water and of course trying to keep myself well rested.
Even though it is less than 2 weeks before the end of tax season I am still not working on Saturday's. Just adding a Friday work day in there and a few extra hours a few days during the week is taking every bit of extra energy I have. This is the first tax season in I guess about 16 years that I have not been working all kinds of crazy hours....
I think we are suppose to have nice weather today so hopefully I will get a chance to work in Kate's Kourtyard a little today and maybe even plant a few flowers....a lot to do inside the house to..and since I have limited energy I will probably not get to everything I want to but hopefully I will be able to get some of it done. I so miss having my Friday's off but only one more Friday and tax season will be over and I will be back to my regular schedule.

Yep, same thing here. I ended up at the hospital on a monitor about halfway through with Audrey. Felt so silly! Ended up being a "bladder infection" - because of not enough fluids... I think Sydney is the only one I don't remember having all those braxton hicks with.
