Braxton Hicks and Movement

I've been feeling the baby move on and off but for the first time was able to feel it from the outside with my hands. I had been out for a walk Thursday, grocery shopping and then picked up the girls. I felt fine until I went to get out of the truck, and had a cramping sensation the minute my feet hit the ground. It scared the hell out of me at first cause I thought something was wrong but I felt fine once I got in the house and sat down. I had a couple more of these and then realized this must be those Braxton Hicks contractions every talks about.

I took a bath, not for the ctx but because I hadn't showered yet and my stomach just felt wild with new feelings so I pressed my hands firmly to what felt like my rock hard uterus and could feel the baby move. It was so awesome. I just laid there in the bathtub smiling, for the first time.... not caring that it only holds 6" of water.
