22 weeks, BOB the wonder pillow and the bladder trampoline!

I love my husband!

But BOB is amazing!!

A couple of weeks ago I discovered that I was having trouble getting to sleep because of aching hips and back. Ron and I bought a body pillow to see if it would help any.

OY....I have named the body pillow BOB because I am actually sleeping well now! I feel like all in all I have been very lucky so far during pregnancy that I have minor aches and pains and minimal sickness. I have been able to continue with work and life almost like normal. When I wasn't sleeping well I thought "poor Ron" since I knew he would have to put up with a sleepy and grumpy me.

Now that I have figured out how to sleep, I just need to figure out a way to tame the wild beast inside that has decided that my bladder is a trampoline specifically for her own pleasure!

Luckily she has chosen to only jump around during the waking hours and seems to sleep when I do (thank the Lord!!).

It's kinda funny actually, I have always had a small bladder, and when she jumps I don't always have to run to the potty, I just feel it and know that she is playing with me again.

I'm looking forward to Friday as Ron and I will get to see the ultrasound again for our full anatomy scan (Ron hasn't seen one since we first found out other than pictures) and we will get to have confirmation that little bit is a girl :) - pretty sure, but looking forward to more confirmation.

Remodel/redesign and the heat

This past weekend my wonderful father-in-law and husband spent a large amount of time ripping out the carpet in our den and replacing it with tile. They did a great job, I am super tired from what little I could do to help (nothing in comparison to what the guys did), but we did get new bookcases put together and in the room, move furniture around and essentially redesign the whole room this weekend. It looks so great with dark blue walls and accents of lime green (trust me it looks better than it sounds :)).

We've also been working in Lizzie's room and have put up curtains, arranged furniture, etc. It's slowly starting to come together. It's amazing how some curtains, paint and such can change the way a room feels.

As tired as we both were yesterday, it felt nice to clean the house and I know that today when I walk in the door I will appreciate how clean it is and how everything feels put together.

So as great as it is to have some time with Ron to take care of many of these projects, I am so done with summer heat!!! I don't have the best air conditioning in our building at work, and it seems worse this year being pregnant. I should be walking more to exercise but I just can't seem to make myself suffer in the heat. Even Susie the Super Beagle hasn't wanted to walk as much! Ah the joys of the Georgia summer. I just keep telling myself the positive side is that I am not 8 months pregnant right now :) I'm not even showing enough to be physically as misserable. I just have back aches at night to fight with (God Bless Body Pillows).
