Hard to get comfortable Man, at night it is so hard to find a comfortable way to lay. I toss and turn sometimes. In the morning, my calfs hurt so bad because of walking so much the day before. I think from the strain. In the morning, if I stretch my legs at all, my calfs cramp and I have to jump out of bed to get cramp out. It's a pretty funny site. I get a lot of comments from people shocked that I'm already 8 months. It's even funnier when they ask if it's my first and I tell them it's my fifth. Hee, hee...... I love running into pregnant ladies and comparing pregnancies. Like weeks, due dates, kids, how we're feeling. Even though you don't know them, you feel like you have something in common and you get an instant friend.

Her Kicks Hurt! Oh man, Ashley's kicks sure do hurt! Even now I got a couple of jabs into my ribs and man it hurt. Plus her kicks are so strong everywhere else that her feet come out real far. Today, while I was standing next to Charles in church, he felt her kick him because my side was softly touching him. He smiled when he felt her. Then I was carrying Ivy against my stomach and Ashley started kicking her butt. I haven't had contraction problems anymore so far so that is good. I think I got to appts every 2 weeks now so I'm not looking forward to that. Anyhow, I am off to bed. It'll be hard to sleep though because when I lay on my side, since I can't do anything else, she starts kicking the bed too!

Small Contraction Troubles
Around this stage of pregnancy I always have troubles with contractions. Nothing serious to put me on total bedrest, but enough to put me on partial. Of course I can't really do that because I have 4 kids that require a lot of attention. :o) I just have to take it easy when I notice contractions get to be too much. I can't believe I'm already 7 1/2 months prego! Seems so fast. Not much time left. Amazing to me. I just got a shot because I'm RH Negative bloodtype. I am not dilated yet which is good.
I just realized that it's time for me to get ready for my date with my hubby tonight. Hope all is well you you other prego's out there!

Hard Night You know how when you're pregnant and you sometimes get that acid that comes up? Last night in the middle of the night I jumped out of bed and my throat was burning. I then threw up all my dinner from night before. I hate it when that happens. My stomach was burning so bad. It took me awhile to go back to sleep. Lately my back has been really aching. I was hoping I wouldn't have that problem because I would have it during labor too like last time! I didn't have that problem with my boys. Well, even through all of this, I'm still enjoying being pregnant. This time I bought some really adorable maternity clothes and I don't feel like a big dork walking around. You can still be fashionable! I still wear high shoes and I am really having fun. No slopping around the house with mens clothes on. The more I just live my life and have fun with my family, the easier it feels and how much more fast the time flies for me.
