ive been reading alot about braxton hicks lately (mostly from other moms) and a little from the books i have. their descriptions never really made sense but it didnt really bother me until last night. well, last night i was looking through my checklist and saw the braxton hicks acrticle so i read it and went through the comments from other moms and geebus was i surprised! ive been having them all along i just didnt know. haha. i felt kind of silly not knowing. anyway, it was just until i saw this one comment that was similar to what i was feeling that i realized that was it! ive always just felt (thought) that my LO was rolling in there and cuddling or tensing up into a tight ball - then id just rub my tummy and tell her to relax. haha. i would have never guessed that those were contractions. 

did you know right away you were having BH? i was just wondering what your BH felt like?

it hits me when I'm walking or out shopping and it always takes my breath away and i kind of bend over.  if they are this strong now I'm not looking forward to the real thing.
