Yesterday was a weird day. I woke up feeling very strange. I felt like I had to poop. I felt a lot of braxton hicks and i felt odd all around.

I woke up and did some laundry and ate breakfast. After I ate, I felt even worse. Jae had started to get up so I let him know what was going on. I kept thinking "this can't be it...im not ready". It was so weird. I had this weird pain... but i know it wasnt contraction pain.

We still had so many things left to do for the baby... so Jae sort of started on that... I packed a hospital bag just in case.

After a little while, I took a shower and felt much better. I decided I wanted to move around, so we went out. We did a bit of shopping and came home. I stayed on the couch while Jae did house stuff outdoors.

During this time, I was fine... I figured it had been nothing.

At around 6:30pm, i started feeling the braxton hicks again.... and that dull pain had started in again. I decided we needed to start timing some things just to see if there was any pattern.

Something was very odd but i knew it couldnt be real contractions because
1. there was no mucus plug or bloody show
2. the dull pain was up top and not below or mid-section
3. i was not in pain as much as i was in discomfort.
4. no pattern on the contractions

However, I felt "off" all day...something was definitely different! Her kicks and movements are really strong, making my stomach hard, and at times painful.

This certainly put a fire under my ass. I think we need to assume she will come any day now in order to get everything ready! I think we both started to scramble a bit. Jae finished off the dimmer in her room as well as ran out and bought this stroller attachement we needed (we went like 30 miles to get it as everyone else was sold out). I cleaned up the house, and showered just in case i had to go the hospital and get checked out. We started inputting all the Doctor and pediatrician emergency numbers into our phones. I started filling out the hospital pre-registration forms and we took the car seat out of the box and made sure it was ready to go.

This AM, I am waiting to speak to the doctor.... eeek, i hope everythings alright!
