contractions

Dear Hudson, Sometimes I wish you were here already. I'm just ready to hold you. You have lots of growing to do, though, so you should stay put for awhile. This week I started feeling some braxton hicks contractions. The first one woke me up from a deep sleep. They haven't been too bad yet, just kind of crazy. I wonder what it feels like for you. Is it like a big hug or are you squished? Love, Mom
