So lately I have been having trouble getting to sleep and then waking up really early in the morning and being up for the day. Now that it is officially hot outside I can barely get comfortable. Between the baby moving, my constant trips to the bathroom, my aching back, the HEAT, and my overall fatness, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get an undisturbed, comfortable, nights rest. Throw in some nasal congestion from sleeping directly under the fan and we have ourselves a VERY grumpy prenant woman by 5am, which is when I wake up for the day and i am usually STARVING like a ship wreck survivor on day 28 on the island! It is SO STRANGE.
It is late right now...like 2am and I can't sleep so I am going to leave you with some bullets about life right now.
-I sleep WITHOUT covers at this point. Under the ceiling fan, with a box fan blowing directly on me from across the room. I have also turned our thermostat from our normal 79 degrees in the summer to 77. I am MELTING, but refuse to have a high light bill.
- i wake up STARVING despite having a snack before bed.
- I get frustrated SO easy during the day when i am trying to do things around the house or just out and about. I HATE being out of breath, I HATE having to stop and rest, I HATE having to walk a little slower. UGH! I can't stand it...but everytime i try to do things at my old pace, I end up sweating too much, getting overtired and breathing like a grizzly bear.
- My baby shower is this saturday. Yay. I have already started to receive some REALLY nice gifts from folks that I did not expect AT ALL. My worry that I will not have everything I am going to need when the baby gets here is fading away everyday.
- I miss Jeff SO SO much, but I am blessed that I get to talk to him almost daily. If I did not get to talk to him everyday...I think i would rot or fade away in this house.
-The baby will be here in less then 12 weeks. WOW!
- Still no official name for this kid...oh well. LOL.
- Today she was SUPER restless and was kicking and moving and just seemed in distress...so I turned some music on my computer and put the speaker close to my belly...she calmed right now. It was perfect. I was able to catch a 45 minute nap then.
-I wonder what is going on in the babies environment that makes her so crazy sometimes...
Cheers,

2 days shy of 29 weeks
This pregnancy is FLYING BY!!! Although, some days I feel like I have been pregnant FOREVER. I am having trouble organizing my thoughts so I am going to create some bullets to update you guys.
-Jeff is deployed. Yep. Shocked me too. We were given a weeks notice that he would be leaving for 2 and a half months. He will be home July 2. I am due July 22. I pray this baby will not be impatient.
-I am not coping well. I don't want to go into detail, but it has been REALLY rough. This is NOT normal for me. Usually, I handle Jeff's absence REALLY well, but right now my hormones won't let me. I am getting better and better each day though....
-Still no name for the ChickPea...I guess she will have to come out and tell us what her name is. :-) Even if we did have a name, we would keep it a secret until her birth...just so that folks won't discourage our name choice. We are weird like that.
- I am SOOOOO ready for water aerobics to start.
- I have not done yoga in a month. I have trouble breathing...
- The little Chick Pea is healthy and thriving. Her growth has slowed down a bit, but that is because she grew SO FAST in the beginning....she was bound to level out at some point...
- I am completely healthy. This is a blessing.
- I am SO STRESSED about maybe not having everything we need for the baby.
- I keep telling myself that babies don't need MUCH to survive and thrive...but in the back of my head, I DON'T want things to be a strain in the beginning...
- I still feel very alone.
- I talk to my baby all day. Most people would think I was a lunatic because I just talk to her all day...
- I think she likes it when I sing and she likes it when I take long hot baths.
- Dairy still makes me sick. Unless it is cheese. Weird right?
- Everyday I am more and more excited about meeting this new human being...I love her so much already.
Cheers,
Kira
