Just so you know...
FACT: By 7 months all pregnant woman should own a full body pillow!
A dear friend suggested it to me when I was talking about not sleeping - what a life-saver!!! I have slept so much better the last few nights! One pillow that supports all the expanding and "hanging" body parts and still fits between the knees to support the sore hips.... So wonderful.
The End.

7 Months...



Oh, what a horrible time we're had sleeping this weekend!!! I truly hope that this isn't the way its going to be till the end. I really haven't had trouble till now, but last night in particular I lay awake and miserably uncomfortable ALL night long! I tried the couch and it was no better. By 7am all I wanted to do was cry, but I was too tired to even do that. Really I've been fine till now - hopefully I'll go back to being fine again! I need sleep badly - especially if I'm going to keep working ...which I really need to do for as long as possible! Slowly but surely its getting harder to be on my feet 40+ hours a week!
I don't remember if I ever mentioned it, but we had gutters put on our house a couple weeks ago. I'm so excited because now I can plant flowers around the house without them getting drowned out by the water coming off the roof! Not sure how much planting I'll get to this year, but there is always next year! We are also having another deck (a step down from the one we already have) built. They should be starting work this month. This deck will be at pool level and be about 10x12 feet - making for better pool access! I can't wait to spend some time on that! We're both so happy that we were blessed to be able to save enough money to do both these things before the baby comes as money will be much tighter later! I plan to take a full 12 weeks off (as long as we can afford it!) and then I'll only be going back part-time or per-diem... whichever will work out better at that time.
