Unwanted Advice
I have a few complaints to make.
People who have never been pregnant and had children giving you advice on your pregnancy. Telling me not to eat this or do this or don't do that. Ummm, don't tell me not to have the 4 course lunch at PF Changs because of all the sodium. I do not have a problem with swelling or high blood pressure like you THINK I do. And until you are pregnant and crave the delicious salty goodness of soy sauce, shut your damn mouth. Thank you.
And to the girl the next office over...do not monitor my soda intake (mind you it's Diet Caffeine Free Coke) on a weekly basis. One-two sodas a WEEK is not harmful. I do not need to hear that the phospherous or whatever is in there takes calcium out of my, and my baby's, bones. Mind your own business.

Burn Baby Burn
I have been up since 2:43 a.m. Heartburn is the name, my unborn daughter is to blame! Miserable. The only word to describe the pain I was in last night, and to top it all off, little Miss Claire thought that it was flip and play time the whole time I was up in pain!!! Although I have to say, feeling her move all around made it seem a LITTLE better knowing that it is her growing and moving eveything inside of me that it giving me this nagging pain. So, after about a million TUMS, a Zantac, some milk, and a backrub from my wonderful husband...yes, at 3:30am, I was able to sleep (if you want to call it that) sitting up for about 10 minute intervals until 6am when I finally called it a night and got up. This will make for a long day...
On a lighter note, I ordered some of her furniture today. We already have a crib and the lingere chest, so we are getting this dresser to match and use as a changing table as well. They say 6-8 weeks, but I hope it's sooner!
Have a great weekend!

26 week blah's
I am starting realize that this pregnancy will be coming to an end soon...and I have mixed feelings about that. On one hand I want to meet my little angel baby and hold her and kiss her and see what she looks like sooooo bad. But at the same time, our special time...just me and her...will be over. For these 9 short months she is only mine. Soon I will have to share her with the world. And it's not that I don't want to share her, but....
Other things. My back hurts. My lower back to be exact. My belly is getting bigger and bigger every day, and I know it's great that Baby Claire is growing, but I still have 3 months to go!! But that bigger belly means more pressure on my lower back! I am also starving most of the time. At the beginning of my pregnancy I was able to eat the same as I did before, not really needing anything extra. At at 6 months, I had only gained 10 pounds. I'm thinking "great!! I'll be one of those lucky moms that gain 25 pounds and are able to take it right off." Now, I think not. I could just eat and eat. I talked to the Dr. about this and she reassured me that it was completely normal and that the baby is now putting on fat and to eat when I felt hungry...but to make healthy choices. So, I guess that doesn't mean Doritos', chocolate donuts, jelly beans, and butter pecan ice cream cones....dang it! We'll see how this month's weigh in goes...because the above list is now what I crave! Sex. I want to know who the women are out there that just LOVE sex in their second trimester. I am not one of them. My poor husband, poor, poor husband. Every now and then I give in (and it's for him, trust me) but I just have no desire...am I normal?????
