Right now, as I type, I am having Braxton Hicks. A nice big, long one. Last week during my NST I had to be checked because I had so many during the hour I was there. By the way, being checked is not fun. Unless you enjoy someone tickling your ribs from the vagina area.
I don’t particularly enjoy it, though. I do, however, love hospital ice. I would choose it over cupcakes and pizza. No lie.
Anyway, I posted over here today. and last week, too.
Also, I plan to come back later today to share my famous (but not famous) chicken noodle recipe that is so easy I’m pretty sure you’ll want to send me presents and hospital ice.
Now, I can’t think about anything but hospital ice.
And next month? WE ARE HAVING A BABY. Happy February, friends!
Yay for Braxton Hicks (in a welcome soon baby, but sorry for your discomfort Beth kind of way)!!!! I’ll have to go check out your other posts, but if I need a snack while reading them, I’ll have to go the cupcake or pizza route. Sorry, no hospital ice taste buds here!
I have to go to the hospital in a couple of minutes to visit my mom (emergency appendix removal, but she is fine) and I would get you some hospital ice, but I think it would melt on its way to you from Kansas.
Hospital ice – that sounds a bit weird, doesn’t it taste like, ehm water? How can you choose it over pizza and cupcakes goodness me. Unless the ice is providing you with some sort of relief – hmmm pregnancy has so many different aspects, hopefully I’ll get to experience it one day – although preferably not with the Braxton Hicks!

Hospital ice is definitely like no other!
So excited for this recipe.

Yumm can’t wait to read your recipe!!!!
The only bad thing about not being able to visit my relatives when they are in the hospital is that I can’t ninja the hospital ice.
And now it’s all *I* can think about. Thanks!
(Love, hugs, and happy happy dances over having a baby next month.)
I’ve tasted the chicken noodle soup and I can’t wait to get the recipe! And, I also can’t wait until next month when ‘we’re’ having a baby!
Hospital ice or ice in general was my favorite thing with Eden, remember? love it
Just make sure that little man stays in there, ok? Tell him to kick away but to stay in his pouch.
and now I want soup.
i LOVE love LOVE hospital ice. in fact. that is pretty much all i ate while in the hospital last week … and i considered stealing the icemaker. but the hospital had all of these stamps on the baby clothing and blankets and i figured the machine was off limits.
Tell that little guy he had better behave and stay put. xo
wow. baby next month. pregnancy goes so fast when it’s not my own.
I actually really enjoy hospital ice too….can’t wait to come back later and check out your recipe!
So I was all about to say: Hey! Me too with the Braxton-Hicks! I can hardly breathe for half of the day thanks to my uterus turning my mid-section into a corset.
But then I grew afraid of the ribs tickling, which sounds rather unpleasant. So maybe I’ll share it in a quiet sort of way, and not with my doctor.
I have this crazy thing for ice in general – but hospital ice! – it’s like the dove chocolate of the frozen water world!
Oh my! I had so many Braxton Hicks with my son for the last two months that I just knew he would come early (which he did). With my daughter, I had horrible Braxton Hicks a week before my due date and thought I would go into labor…but I ended up being induced when still hadn’t arrived at two weeks overdue. I wouldn’t know much about hospital ice…since both my kids ended up in the NICU within 20 hours of their births…
YOU’RE HAVING A BABY!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!
I LOOOOOOVE hospital ice. I call it rabbit turd ice. Taco Bell used to have the same ice. Crunchy, but strangely soft. Exciting that you’re getting closer to baby!!
Now, I don’t want to go around making demands of my favorite bloggers (especially when said bloggers are having babies next month) and your chicken noodle recipe does sound delicious… but wasn’t there something coming about those insane-looking donuts a week or so ago? I’ve been waiting patiently for those ever since and the salivating probably won’t stop until I know how to make them.
Hospital ice! Oh, and my hospital has this juice that is like the nectar of the gods. And? They give all postpartum mothers this incredibly awesome insulated drink cup and that is the thing I am second most excited about upon giving birth.
My hospital gives out chocolate pudding to new moms like nobody’s business. I don’t even like chocolate pudding, but man, I put some away when I’m there. Bet it’d be good on ice, too …
i would pick hospital ice over these things, too. when pregnant, i would do even more for ice. {i was going to say hurt someone for that ice. it MIGHT be true.}
i would take plastic bags of it home from work. i ran out a couple times. once i went to the hospital at 4 in the morning, in my pajamas, to get some. one time i had matt run and get some at close to midnight. and once i had a co-worker drop some off at the end of her shift.
AND NOW I WANT HOSPITAL ICE RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND.
I was so addicted to hospital ice & ice in general when I was pregnant….my husband and everyone around me thought I was going insane. I’m glad to hear that it’s a completely normal thing!
BH contractions… not a fond memory. sorry! BUT your bean will be here soon. HOW EXCITING! As for the hospital ice (or ice in general) yum. Although I’m sure I would eat a cupcake a whole lot faster.
That chicken soup sounds perfect. I don’t add salt either. My hubby usually adds his own. Thanks for the recipe chica!
BH’s are awful! They always put me in a panic. Being checked does suck, ew ew ew
That is exactly what my kids are eating for dinner, right now! booooya!!! great minds think alike….and about the only wonderful thing about living in northern indiana, would be the yoders noodles!

me too with the neurotic love of hospital ice. for valentine’s day, i’m thinking of asking for an industrial-size hospital ice maker to come live in my hallway.
if i get it i’ll invite you over for ice parties.
