Stress mess

I have been having a ton of braxton hicks contractions lately, mostly when I am sitting at my desk at work.  Yesterday, they were coming very frequently, almost non-stop really, from about 2:00 p.m. until I went to bed at 8:30 p.m.  They are not painful, just uncomfortable.  They did not stop until I was able to lay down on my left side and relax.  I think these contractions are directly related to my stress level.  I am back at work this morning, and they have started back up again.  It makes me a little nervous, but what choice do I have?  I may try to leave early and do some work from home, but I am so incredibly busy right now, with stressful assignments, so I really don't have the luxury of much (any) time to relax.  Don't these people know that a 31-weeks-pregnant woman needs a break?!?  Only 44 working days until maternity leave starts....not that I am counting.  I am trying my best to have patience, to have faith, and to think positively.  Frank is taking Frankie out of town this weekend so that I can get a lot of work done, and also hopefully be able to sleep in and relax some.  I worked a lot last weekend and 10-12 hour days every day so far this week, and I think it is taking a toll on my poor body.
