36 Weeks 3 Days Pregnant..

Well we had a rather interesting night last night.
We had just finished watching Spider Man 3 and eating copious amounts of pizza and at about 10pm we decided it was time for the kids to head to bed so that we could watch our other two movies (Stomp the Yard and The Number 23) We had finished watching Stomp and it was just before midnight, and Raoul had just started to watch the other film when I had dozed off to sleep...I was then woken up by a wicked dose of braxton hicks contractions.. 3 in a row!! OMG they were painful.. then I couldn't get comfortable at all and Wiggle Bum was moving about something chronic so I sat up on the edge of the bed then to have ANOTHER round of braxton hicks (about 4 in total) I then rang my midwife in a bit of a panic saying that I thought I was in labour due to the large amount of contractions in the last little while. She told me to calm down, relax and to take a few deep breaths.. which I did all while talking to her on the phone. I was still feeling apprehensive when I hung up from her but I took a few deep breaths and lay down again.... and I must of relaxed a whole lot because before I knew it.. it was 7.15am...
Oh, the joys of being a first time mum....
I do hope the real thing isn't TOO far away though, I'm quite over feeling like a beached whale :o)
