Can A Girl Get Some Sleep???

Does she look peaceful? Just sleeping and dreaming away... not a care in the world... this used to be me.

And now I just MISS SLEEP!!!! I know, I know, every pregnant woman in the world wishes they could sleep as good as before. Before the constant peeing every 2 hours, the restlessness, the leg cramps, uncomfortableness, backaches, etc. Well, I have been so fortunate during this pregnancy - I really have, and I shouldn't complain. BUT, the main issue I have is sleeping pain free. Yes, Logan's favorite place to lay is on my sciatic nerve which makes it raw and causes sharp, intense shooting, stabbing pain from my hip down to my knee on the right side of my right leg. It is awful! It causes me to jerk awake and I can't get comfortable again - if it is bad enough I have to take two Tylenol just to go back to sleep. Even with my beloved body pillow! I told my Doctor and she said I need to get on all fours (yes you read that right) and arch my back like a cat, then release it and wiggle my booty to get Logan to move out of that spot. Hello! Does that sound crazy to anyone but me?? It is often 2 am and I am exhausted, dead to the world tired, and she wants me to get into a crazy cat position to wiggle him away from my nerve? Oh dear. I tried it once and almost fell off the bed. So, I cannot WAIT to have my body back and sleep pain free once he is here - of course I won't get hours of sleep, but at least the time I am sleeping will be good - and free from shooting leg pain. I am almost scared to go to bed sometimes! Sleep is one of the best parts of my day - I used to get excited to go to bed - couldn't wait! I am a pro-sleeper clocking in at 9-14 hours a night easy. Not too much longer...I am in the homestretch!

Trey and I had Date Night like every Monday, but we went to a brand new restaurant called Bravo Italian that just opened near our house. It is a chain - but it was so yummy! We had a great time and ordered an appetizer, entree, and 2 desserts! Whew - we were STUFFED. But it was so delicious and good service. We won't have many more opportunities to do expensive date nights so we are taking advantage! :)
