Bloody Braxton Hicks!

Well three weeks to go!
One thing about pregnancy that no one tells you.. braxton hicks contractions HURT! i have been plagued with the buggers for a few weeks now, and i tell you they are no fun. last time they were uncomfortable but they didn't hurt, however this pregnancy they are ten times worse. i thought i was going into labour early last night as they were coming regularly, but they went away and i haven't had any other signs since so i think it was a false alarm. i can understand why so many women go into the labour ward thinking they are in full blown labour to be told they were actually in "practise/false" labour. its very irritating, because we are supposed to get into the hospital quickly due to this GBS to make sure i get the antibiotics in time. how do i know if its not just more BH? all i can hope is my waters go at the beginning this time so we really know for certain.
toms been playing me up again this week, the tantrums are almost hourly now. i think its a lack of language he frustrated with me for not knowing what he wants first time. while i understand it it doesn't stop me getting impatient with him, then feeling bad for snapping at him!
packed his overnight bag for when i go into hospital last night, as Ive been told that having so many BH could be an indication of labour being just around the corner. which suits me fine, we are eager to meet her!

My Neighbors! they have spent all of last week AND the bank holiday weekend drilling and hammering into the wall that is immediately next to Thomas' cot. as a result he hasn't barely slept all week, which now i think of it is probably aggravating his grumpiness with me. he is sleeping at the moment and they have started up again, so i don't hold out much hope of him being able to complete his nap.

speak of the devil hes just woken! don't you love neighbours?
