Christmas

Christmas was an interesting day for Brad and I. It started out fine with us exchanging our gifts, and giving our animals their gifts. We got each other great gifts favorites being for me a silver diamond heart necklace and for Brad a shirt that I had embroidered DeWeese Farms on it. We completely surprised each other with those gifts.

After that we took our showers and thats when the day took a turn for me. Before I hopped in I was feeling very odd and had cramps in my lower stomach. The warm shower helped but after I got out and was getting ready they still continued. I told Brad and we came up with that they were labor pains, we didn't know though if they were real or not. So we continued the day as usual timing the contractions and keeping track of how long they lasted and how far apart they were. We had gone to my parents to finish Christmas with them and the contractions continued there as well but were very inconsistant and all over the place as far as time goes. So we came to the conclusion that they were false labor pains, or Braxton hicks. They also stopped by the time I left my parents house which was about 2, (they had started about 9am). We had handled things very well and now know what to expect. I just have to remember to breath! I will admit that I was a little scared because I wasn't ready yet for her to come, I felt it was still a little early for her and am hoping she comes after the first of the year. But she'll come when she wants!

Later we went to my Grandma's house for Christmas with the Brown family. Everyone there heard the story! Our families are very supportive and have lots of advice and I love to hear it. All in all we had a good Christmas, just with an added story to tell!
