31 week shuffle

i am officially 31 weeks now and have started having braxton hicks contractions almost every day. i forget how hard your stomach gets during these and as i am experiencing them i am wondering: isn't it a little early for all of this? i don't remember having them with pdog until the 9th month. 

brian sees me holding onto my stomach and is convinced i should have my bag already packed for the hospital. 

i can't believe i am already here again. worrying about what to put into my hospital bag to have another baby. after years of crying and hormones and pills with trying to have presley i am finally getting to experience what it is like to do this without "medical intervention". i have to say~ there is something to fertility dr's. you get a lot more ultrasounds and get to see your baby more and if you complain of any ache or pain they bring you in and worry about you and yep, you get another ultrasound. with this pregnancy i got to see him only 3 times. so, of course right now i am trying to think of something like a sharp pain to lie about so i can get one more. they look so cute now~ they finally have most of their baby fat and you can get a much better picture. 

anyway, i only have 9 more weeks to go so i guess i will just wait it out. the 2nd pregnancy does go much faster than the 1st, especially when you are chasing the other one around so much.  now, all i can think about is the fact that i only have 9 more weeks until i have to start eating healthy and lose the baby (chocolate donut, mcdonald's and dr pepper) weight.  woo hoo! i always hear dieting at christmas time is fun:)
