Oh So Pregnant

Lately I have been feeling very very pregnant. I'm at 28 weeks, so I still have about 12 weeks to go. My belly is definitely present and at times I forget I have the belly and try to sit too close to the table or turn too close to a corner. Sleeping is a bit challenging too. I'm dealing with sciatica and just found out from my friend Amy that I'm not sleeping in the proper position. I need to sleep on my side with my legs straight down - I tend to bend my legs. I called my midwife and she gave me some names of physical therapists and a chiropractor I could see. Just have to make sure my insurance pays for them. (If only we had Universal Health Care...but anyways)

I do enjoy being pregnant with regard to knowing that a new life is growing and I will soon get to meet this little guy. However, I seem to have harder pregnancies. Although, I have heard stories of women who are on bedrest or who have to be hospitalized during their pregnancies, so perhaps I shouldn't complain. Oh, for those of you who knew I dealt with gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy, I did pass my sugar test this time!! It's on the higher end of normal, so I am still staying away from the white stuff and sweets, but I'm so so so so so happy to not have to go through the 3-hour glucose screening.

Lily is at school right now. She starting crying in the parking lot asking "School?". When I said "yes". She cried harder and said "Mama!". Breaks my heart man! We said our goodbyes and the crying seemed to cease before I left the building.

I'm having my friend, Nicole over for coffee/lunch at the house early this afternoon. No big plans for the weekend. With my painful walking, I'm fairly happy to not have many things to do.
