How I feel:
It depends on the hour. At the moment, my back feels achy. There are moments, I feel fine and other moments, the pain hits me like a pain wave. It's mainly abdominal and lower pelvic. My legs feel fine and I haven't had a bad case of heartburn in about 3 weeks.
Sleeping Habits:
I'm sleepy, but that's my own fault. Just because I can function on 5 hours of sleep, doesn't mean that I should on a regular basis. On the weekends, I've been doing ok, getting rest, but on the weekdays, I get by on 5.5, 6, 6.5, or if I'm lucky 7 hours.
I love sleeping on my stomach, but that's almost impossible during pregnancy. I think I've managed to find a comfortable position that is close enough to the real thing. I was searching for an image to depict how I sleep and this is the best one I could find (see image below). But I don't sleep with a giant pillow-- that's creepy. As long as I put most of my weight on my side and prop my leg up, the baby is comfortable and momma can sleep.
It's not uncommon for me to wake up at 2 am in excruciating pain. Hello, Charlie Horse pain or leg spasms, whatever you want to call them, they hurt like a MO_FO! Last night was the worst. My calf is still tender.
Cravings:
Last night I, NO -- DAKOTA, sent Trey to the store to get cookies and Limon chips. It's been a while since I've had cravings and I figured I only have 10 more weeks to take advantage of the situation, so I might as well cash-in.
Kicking & Punching:
Dakota is a mover and shaker. Cheyenne's movements, in my womb were gentle. Dakota's movements are violent. During a work meeting she started moving and I told my co-workers, "Hurry, look at my stomach." Right then, my stomach moved like an earthquake. She is probably 3 lbs, which has me wondering --- What are her movements going to feel like when she's 6 lbs?????!!!! I will try to capture her activity on video.
