I can't sleep.
I'm not even that big yet, but I get so uncomfortable at night.
I can't sleep on my tummy (my first choice) for obvious reasons.
Sleeping on my back doesn't work, baby puts too much pressure on me.
So that leaves my sides... which hurts my shoulders and back.
The most comfy I feel is out on the couch in a semi-upright sitting position. But I hate being out of bed!
Even when I do sleep, I'm up every hour or two to visit the ladies room....
at least I know I'll be able to handle the sleepless nights when baby gets here.
Ok, you twisted my arm.... an update
I've lost track of how far I am. I used to have the weeks and even days down. I think I'm 25-26 weeks along... that sounds about right.
I am loving this second trimester, for the most part.
I have energy, I can eat like a champ, I am growing everyday.
Baby boy is an active little man. He likes to kick and roll and kick and kick and kick.
Did I mention he like to kick?
Chad and I love watching my belly move around!
Speaking of belly, it's getting big! I finally have strangers asking when I'm due. It was a silly thing to want but for awhile there I just felt a little fat.
I lost my belly button weeks ago. If someone finds my cute little innie, please send it my way.
We have our next doctor's appt in a couple weeks (April 30th). I get to take the glucose tolerance test which I've heard is NASTY! I'm not looking forward to drinking the sugar water.
They also have to give me a shot. I have RH negative blood and can produce antibodies that will attack any future baby we may have. This shot will stop any antibodies from forming. I have to get one more at the delivery.
And the BIG question everyone seems to want to know...
Yes baby boy has a name.
We even have some backup names.
No I'm not telling you.... sorry, nothing personal.
I just want to meet him first and make sure the name fits.
Plus, it's fun for Chad and me to have a little secret.
And here's another secret.... between the stories from both sis-in-laws who had/are having babies this year, I'm soooo scared for the last trimester. I don't want my hips to fall apart. :(
Granted, they're both on their 3rd kid, I'm on my 1st.
That's all folks!

My arms always fall asleep having to sleep on my sides. I prefer. Tummy sleeping too. Yes the glucose drink is terrible. Drink it as fast as you can so you don't have to taste it. Yes it gets more uncomfortable with each pregnancy. I wasn't really uncomfortable the first time during 3rd trimester. JR was worse and this one is worse than that. I can't believe my mother in law survived 9 children. Can't wait for all our babies to meet!
ReplyDeleteEverything Jen said is completely true for me as well. My hips started to fall apart with this one as soon as I started to get big (second trimester).. so if you're feeling pretty good now, you'll last!! :)
ReplyDeleteI heard there's different flavors now to the glucose.. even one doctors, i read, made them eat just a snickers bar.... I WISH!
Good luck with everything! I am also so excited for everyone to meet! I might just have to make a trip down to CA myself during the holidays.... poor Kurt... but I want to meet the BABIES!!
