pillows
Since we have been back from vacation I have had a horrible time sleeping. Not that I miss sleeping in a van. Far from it. but I have had sinus drainage that causes me to wake up at night... when i don't have to pee!, because I cannot breathe.
I discovered that if I sleep almost up right then I can breathe through the night and in the morning! Halleliuja!
So now, I wish I had a picture to share, I have a wall of pillows that I sleep on. It's great, I'm loving it. Just like McDonalds...
On the other hand, I can't sleep on my side which is a problem and will continue to be so as I actually get big. I hear it's really uncomfortable to be on your back with a big belly. I dunno. right now I still like it. My lower back gets SO tight that to lay down and pull my knees up feels really good.
Also, I can't cuddle up to Scott. He can't sleep on a wall of pillows. *sigh*

I'm officially FAT
None of my work clothes fit anymore.
This week I have tried at least one outfit thatI though had some 'grow room' in it only to pop the buttons on my shirt and or not coming even close to buttoning my pants closed.
Skirts have become my good friend.
This morning I was running behind and found some pants that had been loose before, and squeezed myself into them. I was able to get it all zipped and buttoned, but when I sat down in the car to drive... Holy Cow!, I could not breathe. I ended up doing this:
WOOT for the many uses of rubber bands!
I may have to take Diane up on her offer of maternity clothes a lot sooner than I had anticipated.
It is also important to note that my little tummy does not stick out much yet... but my hips have become huge!

New Job
I have the opportunity to move upstairs and work for the ROC (Regional Operations Center)... and I'm excited. Hopefully I will be a thousand times less stressed!

Cravings
Could be called my eyes are way larger than my stomach.
Truth be told I do crave steak, medium rare, and potatoes. Any kind of potatoes! Yesterday we were in Seattle visiting James and the boys and we ate lunch at a fish taco place. The though of fishy tacos sounded gross so I opted for fish and chips. Oops. The fish was very fishy and flaky and greasy. I probably ate a total of one of my fillets between my feeling of overpowering HUNGER and the fact that Aidan didn't seem to be too fond of his fish either and he kept feeding them to me. One time he gave be a "big bite" which was about a quarter of his fillet! What a funny little guy...
James is awesome. He traded me his chips for my fish. I have a sneaking suspicion that his motives were just as altruistic as they were that he prefers greasy slimy fried foods to anything else. So I lunched on potatoes. YUM! Then Alicia offered me a bite of her fish taco, and it was actually REALLY good. Next time little fish taco place in Seattle!
While in Provo, we went to the Sizzler for dinner. I got a steak and fries. But then I saw the salad bar. More specifically I saw the ice cream part of the salad bar. It looked so yummy. I ate as much of my steak and fries as I could and then squeezed in an ice cream cone and brownie for dessert. I was so full that I started putting my cone in the brownie and licking the ice cream to make a torch shape. Scott chided me for playing with my food, and Dad said that we used to go to the sizzler for dinner in St. Charles and they'd get the salad bar because it was so good. Evidently all I'd eat, or want to eat, was the ice cream. Evidently my affair with ice cream goes back to when I was four and is not new to my pregnancy. So I can't claim that I crave it now more than before... I just like ice cream.

last night I was really bubbly / gassy. It made me think of some friends. Janika, I think felt Issac first move early, early but had to focus to distinguish it from tummy gas. Tara didn't know she was having contractions because she thought it was just gas. I think I'm bissfully aware that it was just a tummy bubble...
