4 days...and 5 hours!

So I might have just bitten into a strawberry that was slightly past its prime. Actually...I might have just devoured about 6 of them that were slightly past their prime. And that, my friend, is because they were covered in chocolate. Wow...let me be the first to admit that I might possibly need some serious help. I'm going to blame that on the baby.

Baby also gets blamed for the fact that, for some strange reason, my favorite smell right now is dirt. Fresh dirt. Not that dirty dirt smell, or like moldy or mildew dirt smell, but like actual dirt from the yard or garden outside. I'm not going to eat dirt, if you were suddenly concerned about that. I just like the way it smells. Weird.

After having contractions all day (Braxton Hicks) and having more than 9 in 1 hour, I called the doctor. He said that since I was having no pain or other accompanying symptom, I would be fine - or if I was really concerned, I could go to the hospital and get checked out. I wasn't really concerned, so I've been downing water like the supply is going to run out. I've had about 3 glasses in the past few hours, so my doctor should be happy. He says that a true contraction will be accompanied by pain also and it's something I'll "know". Hmm. I've had contractions where it feels like baby is suddenly kicking the crap out of my bladder and the sharp pains stop me in my tracks, but I haven't had anything that has lasted for more than a minute. So... I dunno. And that crap about if a contraction feels like my nose, it's BH, or if it feels like my forehead, it's a real contraction - I have no clue what that's all about, because I've had some contractions that felt hard as rocks with no pain attached. So again...I dunno.

I also have had sudden bursts of energy tonight! Have been doing laundry and cleaning type stuff for hours now. I still have soooo much stuff to do to get ready for baby. I don't think I'll ever be fully ready. And I'm not an organized person nor do I know how to organize things well, so this has been rather difficult for me.

P.S. The 4 days and 5 hours is the amount of time until my C-Section!
