@MamaMonzo I'm sorry, that really wasn't helpful at all. So seriously, I would think it's better to start on the couch to get a little bit more restful sleep if it's more comfortable there and deal with having to climb the stairs whenever you have to pee. After tonight though, maybe see about getting something that might make your bed more comfy, or maybe have your couch moved from the middle floor down to the family room where the other bathroom is?? Desperate times call for desperate measures. I know KatieGummow had recommended heat for sore hips a while back. Maybe that would help if you haven't tried it yet, though I don't know if that would help with NUMB hips. :-?

I was craving peach cobbler and realized i have everything to make one. It's about to come out of the oven and smells soooooo good. Pretty good way to end the day!

Honestly I thought your original comment was pretty helpful! All I need is a bar stool to boost me up . We have a couch in the family room too, but it's freezing down there... And, please don't laugh... That's where our ghost hangs out and I don't have the energy to deal with him these days! Also it's a brand new mattress which is the most frustrating part! DH is basking in the greatness of a fantastic sleep and my pregnant body is hating every minute of it!!! ( I think I'll stick with peeing in the sink... No one will know except my bumpies.
P.s to add to the DH convo about the bump. He feels he knows you too, asks questions about the stories I tell and refers to you as bumpies.
@mamamonzo - completely serious - is it a mischievous ghost?
Not sure... Nothing super crazy has happened except loud thuds. The cats go ape shit crazy sometimes after they stare off into space for a while. Their potty room is in the basement and we'll be in our bedroom 2 floors above them and they are meowing and talking up a storm and looking in one direction. Creeps me the fuck out! Sometimes I think I see movement out of the corner of my eye. I figure he's here to protect me while DH works 3rds since he hasn't hurt me.
Oh, I forgot! Two nights ago I was in bed and none of the cats were with me yet (they were occupied in the kitchen playing ice cube hockey) and I felt three really fast thuds on the edge of the bed almost like someone was hitting the bed to wake me up. First thought was monster under the bed... Then I thought Harry (the ghosts name). I think he was telling on the girls because I went to count cats to make sure one of them didn't do it and I caught all three of them on the kitchen counter, so it couldn't have been them!

I don't even like peaches and this sounds amazing. =P~

No ghost in my current residence but my last one was totally haunted. Both of the previous owners died in the house and more than a few people had personally witnessed strange things. My dogs used to bark suddenly in empty bedrooms or in the living room when you were the only one there. Doors/cabinets would suddenly close, things would go missing and then turn up in really strange places (like the attic we NEVER went into). Anytime something freaky would happen we would just blame it on "Palmer" (the last name of the previous owners). I believe!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is always telling my hubs about my imaginary friends on the Internet. Sometimes I get the side eye from him other times he will say something like "is that the one who blah blah blah" so I know that he actually likes my stories and is paying attention.
We don't have any ghosts in the house,thank goodness, but before we move here we lived in one of the most shady townhome complexes ever. The kind where you wouldn't be shocked if you neighbor died in a meth explosion. And we had one there. And he was ballsy. He would always move my scissors from my sewing and hide them and sometimes my tweezers and scissors would switch places. Once I saw a pen on my bedside table raise up and move then drop to the floor. When we moved there my cat started going batshit crazy and she was never the same after that.

Today is my last day at work until January 2015. Mega weird, but, I'm trying to embrace the Nordic-ness! Seriously, the American in me is trying to make me think I'm a loser for giving in to some "small pains" and the fact that my belly is too big to reach the bottom of my instrument.
Ultrasound in the morning to see if baby's ventricles are still growing too big or if they're okay...praying he's cooperative for their measurements and that we get good results. This is the second of 4 total tests that will tell us what we're dealing with. Prayers will be appreciated as I'm nervous and worried as hell.
Good luck!! Prayers everything goes smooth...
Also, a friend of mine is totally convinced her psychic (that she calls on an 800 number) is legit and listens to her advice. And some of the stuff she says makes me want to call, but I'm nervous they'll tell me things that will freak me out. Totally not ghost related, but in the same realm right?! Surely someone has psychic advice...
In other news, not only did my kiddos win the cover of that magazine, they are doing a 3 page article on them! The photo shoot is today and I'm huge and will have had no sleep. But I'm gonna be famous ya'll... (Clearly not true)
Insomnia sucks. I keep farting and hoping it doesn't wake DH. Poor guy doesn't even know what's going on...
I am still playing catch up since I have been off for a while but wanted to chime in on the breast pumps. If you have an FSA card, you can buy your pump with it if your insurance does not cover the cost. That is what we did 2 years ago. You need to buy it where they accept FSA cards.
No ghost stories here, our house is to new for any of that. Can't say I've had any experience either, but it would be kinda cool to have a friendly ghost. The only thing that moves my stuff around here is Seamus the cat. He's a little klepto...
I talk about you guys to DH all the time, and if I start laughing while looking at the iPad, he automatically assumes it's one of you and asks what's going on on my board
I'm making barbacoa tonight @stace0616! I'm pretty psyched about it - I especially liked the tip about freezing it in individual portions in muffin tins - so clever!
In laws come today to "help" with either house stuff or baby stuff. Not excited about this at all. I don't hate my in laws but I wouldn't chops to hang out with them if I had too. No naps for me this weekend and late nights. I'm going to be a cranky woman.
It's a cluster fuck of everything good. I like layer one to be chocolate poptarts with hot fudge and maybe something cakish like yodels or cupcakes mushed, then lay cinnamon poptarts with some butter to melt and ill crumble coffee cake. You could add cookie dough here hut havent tried that yet. And then if I'm ambitious I'm bake s'mores poptarts in a brownie use that as te lay layer top with marshmellows and chocolate chips and bake in the oven for a bit to let everything melt. Then check your blood sugar because your probably have diabeetus. I've only made not three times and always when know stoners were attending the party.
Does anyone else watch epic meal time? This sounds like something they'd do.

One of my closest friend's Mom has been battling bone cancer. She is one of the strongest women I have ever met. She fought (and won) 2 battles with breast cancer, raised 3 adopted children who she has loved as her own by herself, all while running a successful business. Unfortunately, she has taken a turn for the worse and the doctor's expect her to pass away any day now. If you can, please say a prayer for my friend and her amazing Mom. Thank you!
My glucose drink was a can of pop- orange. It wasn't awful I was pleased! Don't come back here til 31 weeks, they said baby boy is head down. It's amazing to me that the dr can just feel that haha.
It's not that far away! I had one of the teachers at DS's prek ask me if I had a long time to go, and I was like "no, just til April 8th" and she was like "oh wow you still have a long time". Is 9.5 weeks a long time to a lot of people? That's assuming I even make it to my due date. Grr.

Chiming in on the ghost talk. Haven't had any experiences worth detailing since I was really little, just electronics and lights turning on and off by themselves. However, my mom told me a story about when I was still a baby - she and my father were temporarily living with his mom, and my mom woke up in the middle of the night one night to find me hovering a couple inches above the bars of my crib, sound asleep. She threw back the covers to get out of her bed and shouted, "Put her down!!" I went crashing down to my crib mattress and woke up screaming and crying.
Considering some of the things I remember about that house and my grandmother, I'm wondering if it was built on a gateway to hell or something.

I had my test yesterday. They let me leave for the hour. I did some thrift store shopping. My drink wasn't awful I just wish I could drink water behind it.
This zully maternity clothing ad on the bottom of my screen is mocking me. The woman has pretty much no bump and looks so happy, like she can feel her legs in the.morning, but they want to sell my third trimester ass the "on-the-way" wardrobe.
Bitch I will fucking cut you.
Edit I probably should mention that I had a rough night and we are still crazy busy at work, I might have a short fuse.

Hahaha I adore you ladies. Just caught up! I talk about you all the time as well, but DH just smiles and nods his head.
Enough about you, lets focus on this AW: Ryan's parents just got us one of our cribs and I cleaned out the entire nursery (minus vacuuming) by myself! I also put the crib together almost all by myself. We have a ways to go, but wanted to wait until after my showers to purchase anything. I am so excited to meet these guys and bring them home. I left their door open all night and evey time I woke up my heart did a little dance.
