Braxton Hiccups

Maranda and I had a little excitement the other day when the wonderful Braxton Hicks contractions began full force. She had a little more contractions than we would have liked, and per the doctor’s orders, they asked her to come to the hospital to be monitored and to see if we could get the contractions to stop.

It took a little over two hours, and everything is fine. Maranda is still having a hard time sitting up straight without having some tightening. So please be praying that the contractions will ease up to a healthy level until the babies are fully developed and ready to be born.

But we actually did have a good time listening to the babies on the monitor while at the hospital. I had gone downstairs to get Maranda some dinner in the cafeteria (chicken tenders, of course), and when I came back, I could hear the heart beats from the doorway.

I also heard this really loud WHOMP every now and then. It sounded like the babies were actually hitting the monitor, but it didn’t sound like a kick or a punch. It sounded too soft for that. We didn’t ask Gail (our wonderful, wonderful nurse) for a while, but she said that it was probably one of the girls having the hiccups.
