My Uterus is Irritated

At what?  Probably being pregnant again.  It's only the 533rd week of pregnancy for my poor tired old uterus. 

Last night it would NOT stop contracting.  It felt like it was constantly on the verge of a contraction or it was half contracting or something.  It just felt irritated.  And that's the best word for it.  I drank water, took a warm bath, lied down, and ended up calling my midwife because it wasn't getting too much better.  She suggested calcium magnesium ... so I loaded up on the calcium and went to bed.  It shortened the Mother's Day celebrations (I didn't even get any of the special dessert :(  ) and probably ruined the evening.  But I woke up this morning in my bed, not in the hospital, so that was a good thing.

So far today when I get out of bed and walk I get contractions.  I feel like my uterus is sensitive or something ... it's frustrating because there are a million things I could be doing besides lying in bed.  My midwife said lying around for a few days is probably a good idea ... and I guess now, for the next 11 weeks, I'll just be taking it easy and not doing too much, because that is when I get more contractions.  We want Isla in here for at LEAST 8 more weeks. 

My poor house.  My children.  My poor husband.  I guess they'll all have to get used to doing more around here because I can't.  Oh well.
