Braxton-Hicks

            Michelle has been having much worse Braxton-Hicks contractions with this pregnancy than the first. Sometimes it can wake her up in the middle of the night. Other times, it happens during the day. The worst are when she forgets and lets Celia bounce around on her belly. Oops. Next thing you know, she’s feeling awful for a good solid twenty minutes.

            She had them a few times over the weekend. She said, “It feels like childbirth.”

            I said, “Cross your legs. Keep him in for another month. I’m not ready yet!”
