Important topics of discussion:

Heart Burn:  It has started..and not stopped. It's been rather heated around here for 3 days or so. I thought I would beat the system by writing down foods that triggered it. I quickly stopped my useless writing because, well, EVERYTHING triggers it!  I'm hoping this means our little kernel is going to come out with a head full of hair, unlike me who had peach fuzz until I was 2 years old.

Bathroom Breaks: I have touched on this point before but now I REALLY know what I'm talking about.  (and I'm sure in a few more months I will rant about it again).  Earlier in pregnancy I THOUGHT I used the restroom  a lot. oh  no, no,  no..now its every hour on the hour and 3 times a night. What can possibly be going on in there that a pound and a half baby can make me have to visit the loo so frequently?

Sleep..what's that?  Between my back and stomach muscle aches, potty breaks, too many pillows- no wait- not enough pillows, hot-now cold-now hot, Hayden barking b/c I've knocked him off the bed, Hal tossing and turning b/c I've woke him up in my attempt to get comfy..no wonder I wake up more tired then when I started.  At night, I've started dreading going to bed b/c I know that more than likely,  I wont like the outcome.  The pharmacist told me it's because all the extra blood pumping in my body.  I think it's God's way of getting back at me for all the times I fought my parents on going to bed as a child.
