those are signs of labor honey! :) When I started to go into labor I would have this shooting pain in my back that would then shoot to my front. Its very common for women to get back labor first right before your contractions start to happen. If your feeling worried I would call the doctor. For now, try to soak in a bath or use hot towels when it starts to happen. They don't stay long but they do hurt.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
