Strange Pregnancy Issue

Last night we were at my mom's house where we have been staying and we were all sitting on the sofa watching TV. Little Peyton decided to kick, punch, or hit (whatever) my stomach out into a hard ball on the lower side of my belly! It felt very weird and everyone was feeling it saying how weird it was. Well, eventually he decided to leave that area so that it was no longer a hard ball right there, but instead it was a soft area that stayed there. We didn't think much of it and Paul and I came back to Baton Rouge to our house so that I could go to the doctor today and he could go to work. Well, not long after we got home, I felt that area and freaked out. I felt a soft ball hanging down from my very large swollen and pregnant belly! Gross! How disgusting is that!?! Anyway, I won't go into it anymore except to say that I showed Paul where it was and he goes "I can see it!"

That was enough for me....we called the doctor and headed to Woman's Hospital! Needless to say, we spent a good portion of the night in the labor and delivery unit and we were both exhausted! Not one nurse in that area had ever seen such a thing! Wonderful! After an ultrasound that showed there was nothing abnormal going on in there, the doctor came in an explained that most likely what happened is that Peyton pushed something around (could be b/c it's baby number 3, I have had 2 sections already and there is plenty of scar tissue also) and may have somehow shifted my uterus around and made something come out in that area! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! That is really gross! So, we went home and finally got to sleep! Even weirder, when I woke up this morning, it was GONE! Not kidding...I couldn't even show my doctor because it does not exist any longer! Very strange, but at least the baby is OK!!!!

I have been having plenty of Braxton Hicks contractions so much so that it is getting difficult to walk because I get them so often! The good news is that while we were at the hosptial, the nurse kept saying that I was having a lot of contractions. I didn't know they could see Braxton Hicks on the monitors, but I was glad that Paul could see how many I was having! Not that he didn't believe me, but you know, I was glad he could see it with his own eyes! I sure hope Peyton doesn't decide to come out early since

we are now officially scheduled for a section on my dad's birthday....September 17 at 7:00 am!!!!!!!!

The doctor is going to do the section before he goes out of town that day!!! I love my doctor! The nurse called to tell me this today after my appointment and she goes "I've worked for him for a long time and it's the first time I have ever scheduled something for him on a Wednesday....it's his day off!" Yayyyyyy! He probably was thinking it was easier to just do it for me since I've been driving him nuts for the entire pregnancy!!!!

Only 12 days left!!!
