Feeling some very unusual feelings today - could something be happening???

Well... today has been pretty interesing. Spent all day at home but throughout the whole day I've had tightening sensations in my abdomen, funny feelings down low in my pelvis, and some severe hip pain in my bad hip (I have hip dysplasia/arthritis in my left hip from an undetected birth defect...) which makes me think baby is dropping further, engaging, and pushing my pelvic bones etc - causing the pain.

It definitely feels like something more serious is happening - of course that doesn't mean I'll be in labour in the next day or two, but I certainly can't see me still being pregnant in a week... fingers crossed!

Other than that - we went shopping yesterday, had a really nice day off together - Dave got a few more animals for his window garden scene, I got some maternity bras and breast pads. How romantic! ha!

When we got home, we went and tidied up the front garden and Dave worked a bit more on his jungle scene, adding the new animals and some rocks, and clearing away some weeds and dead leaves. He's so proud of that project and it's looking great!

Anyhow - not much else to report other than that... will update with more info if/when it looks like labour might begin!
