I think it is my turn for an update!!!

I am 25 weeks, 1 day today!!!  Only 14 weeks, 6 days to go (babies come exactly on their due date, right?) My only complaint so far--sleeping. Sleeping is getting more difficult (although, last night was GREAT!) I have a body pillow that helps a lot (it keeps me off my back and tummy) but my hips get so sore from laying on them all night.  So for the past few weeks I have been putting a smaller pillow under my hips which works well until I have to change to the other side. Here I am at 2:00 AM trying to maneuver a large body pillow, a smaller pillow for my hip and the two pillows under my head all without waking my husband.  Needless to say, I don’t do a good job of it.  Then just as I am thinking that I comfortable I realize I have to go to the bathroom (I am the person who used to NEVER get up in the middle of the night to go pee—now it happens almost every night and I know it is going to get worse) and it makes me mad.  So at this point I am up. What can I do?  I can’t turn on the TV, or turn on the light to read so I bust out my iPhone and see what is going on at 2:00 AM.  Usually not much but at least it keeps me occupied for about an hour or two until I get sleepy and fall back to sleep.  I know this is just to get me ready for when little nugget comes but let me just tell you—THIS SUCKS!!! I miss my sleep. I love my sleep.

(I know you moms are laughing right now ‘cause the worse is yet to come. I totally understand that—but can’t I just get some good sleep now????)

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mothers!!!

I think the lack of sleep during pregnancy is preparing you for the lack of sleep to come for the next 4-5 years once your child is here! I think I am now just getting a full 8 hours (sometimes more!) and Miss M is 6!!
Thanks for the update Stace! Here's to you sleeping better!
Can wait to meet baby C!

Oyyyyy yes, the sleeping sucks. I used to never get up in the middle of the night. And now that my almost 2 year old sleeps a solid 12 hours I still have to get up to pee. My bladder just isn't the same after a baby!

I can't believe you only have 14 weeks left!!!
