Getting ready?

I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions all morning, I'm pretty sure. They feel like menstrual cramps (woo hoo! just when you thought you wouldn't have to deal with anything menstrual for the better part of a year!).

I'm assuming it's because I haven't had anything to drink since I woke up -- naughty me. So I've filled my trusty Nalgene bottle with water and am dutifully sucking it down. Dehydration can cause BH contractions. Trouble is, a full bladder can cause them, too. So, you just can't win!
