ake up and turn over) which said turning causes shooting pains in my abdomen. So I've been sleeping on our couch, which is wonderfully squishy. Now I only wake up once or twice a night to readjust (and pee) which is a huge improvement over every other hour. The only down side is that I HATE going to bed in the living room, by myself, without being able to chat with my husband. In other words I want a new bed! EDIT: I was re-reading this post and realized how freaking lucky I am that I have another option to sleep on that is better than the bed we have. Hello! I could be sleeping on a mat on the floor, or not even have a roof over my head like I'm sure some pregnant woman in Haiti is doing tonight! I am so thankful for the things I have!

I went to the doctor again today. I hate this part of pregnancy where I start gaining weight. Even though I keep telling myself that you're suppose to gain weight it's still such a strange mental struggle to go to the doctor every month and hear you're 5 pounds heavier! Baby boy...we have decided to wait on the official name pick because we're no longer certain that "William" is the right name for our guy...is now about 2 pounds and over a foot long and kicking a ton. I have noticed that he's a little shy though; when I would poke and prod Ruth she would always kick back, but this little guy stops all movement if I poke him back! Also, we have just 3 months left and I'm one week away from the 3rd trimester, hooray!
