So it's pretty much impossible to sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time at this point. If it's not my hip going numb, it's getting up to pee or just not being comfortable at all in the first place. My belly is getting really heavy. The pillow under it for support isn't working anymore, and laying on my back is just impossible, it hurts too bad after 15 seconds. I've tried every combination of pillow placement that I can think of, nothing is working. I guess I'll just have to deal with for a few more weeks though. I'm just afraid that when I do go into labor I'll be so tired that a can't push effectively and they'll make me do a c-section. It's not that I'm against a c-section, I know in some circumstances it's medically necessary, but if I don't HAVE to do then I don't want to.
I did all of Deagan's laundry yesterday, using my Dreft detergent. That stuff smells awesome... My brother came home and surprised me with his brib bedding set, so that made me REALLY happy! One less thing I have to buy. He also got me some receieving blankets and an extra crib sheet a while back because it matched the colors. Then he found out it was part of a set and got the rest for me. :o) He's going to be such a great uncle! I think I'm going to see if Bobby's aunt will meet us halfway between Cartersville and Chattanooga to get the crib on Saturday. I come off my medicine in less than two weeks so I'm really anxious to get everything in the room and set up. Bobby said we can get the changing table on Sunday since he's off. Yay!! And I think we'll end up at Walmart to get the other things we needed. We still need the mattress, mattress pad, dishwasher unit (for nipples and etc.), a changing pad, breastfeeding cushion covers, another base for the car, an infant bouncer and a heath and safety kit. But luckily I added it all up and I think our gift cards will cover all of that stuff, so that's pretty awesome.
If Saturday is nice then I am DEFINATELY working on my chifferobe. I really want to get it done since it's the one piece of furniture that I actually have here. It's still in the garage though, waiting to be sanded and painted... I think I'm going to decoupage the shelves on the inside though. Give it a little more personal touch, it needs some extra love. Just painting it will improve the appearance dramatically though. I hope I feel better by then. My parent's just got over sinus infections, I woke up this morning with the back of my throat hurting. Bobby and I have our 2nd childbirth education class tonight. I think I'll ask the nurse who teaches the class if there's anything I'm allowed to take before it gets too bad. Hopefully I can retaliate before it becomes full blown...

hey for back pain, back excerises actually really helped me!! All you have to do is with or with out weight bend over as far as you can comfortably and stand up slowly, do that a couple times, it really helped me...I did it until I popped. As for the sleeping, well they tell me I'll sleep again in 18 years, but its completely worth it!
keep your back straight and your shoulders back, forgot to mention that.
