Its Been Awhile

I had high hopes for this blog...I really did.
I will try to revive it once more

We have ~35 days to go! This is very exciting because it means that my birthday is in 40 days! And perhaps even more exciting is that the new Backstreet Boys CD comes out in 41 days! Oh life is a countdown.

In baby news...things are going alright. He/she is moving lots still - which is lots of fun.

I have been working occasionally as a casual TA again and so I am with a new staff every time. Inevitably, I always get asked the same 4 questions and usually in the same order: "When are you due?" "Do you know what you're having?" "Is this your first?" "Are you excited?" So predictable :)

I went to see a chiropractor at the suggestion of my doctor for my rib pain. He told me I have bad posture, but perhaps he says that to all his potential patients. But I do have bad posture, so he wasn't feeding me a line. Anyway, I don't think it did anything to help the rib pain, so I don't know if I will go back or not.

My other big problem is that I seem to have developed a mild case of insomnia. For the past few weeks I have been having trouble sleeping - waking up a lot in the night, etc. Then I read on one of my week-t0-week pregnancy guides that around this time pregnant moms may suffer from pregnancy insomnia. They don't know exactly why - could be your body's way of preparing itself for the future sleepless nights, could be that you're anxious about the arrival, could be hormonal, etc. Anyway, I think reading the article made it worse because in the last week or so, I have had an even harder time -being awake for 3+ hours a night, etc. Its gotten so bad that I walk around like a zombie all day barely able to keep my eyes open, but the moment I lay down to go to bed I am wide awake. Very frustrating! Gotta love naps! Actually last night I slept for most of the night so hopefully I am over that stint.
