It's currently 3am and I have been wide awake for an hour so I guess it's the perfect time for a blog post. We are still battling Madison to sleep through the night and IN HER OWN BED. She hates sleeping alone and I can't really blame her because we shared a room with her until she was 18 months so I think she got used to it. It just makes this queen size bed feel even smaller with my growing belly in the way. Hopefully in the next 8-10 weeks we can get her sleeping through the night and potty trained, but perhaps I am just feeling ambitious. We have set up the crib and bassinet but that is about all the baby prep we have done. Oh I have finished the blessing blanket, crib bumper and quilt for little man! Madi is looking forward to having baby boy sleep in her room with her so maybe that will help her not feel alone. We live in a really small space so we have slowly been figuring out how to make this all work. In the next few weeks we will finish getting things out of storage and ready for the arrival. I'm slowly starting to get together my hospital bag too incase he comes early.
Other then that I am feeling pretty good. As is apparent by my 3 am blog post... I have some pretty decent insomnia. Some nights I have trouble getting to bed and other nights I have trouble staying asleep. Madi woke up about an hour ago and I literally just lay here wide awake and try to sleep again. Guess it's just more practice for the newborn stage all over again. Baby boy likes to hang out on my right side for the most part and I feel him move all day long. If I eat after 8pm I get wicked heartburn but I'm hungry all the time it seems like. I have a KILLER sweet tooth these days! Since about 15 weeks I have had intense round ligament pain which made it uncomfortable to move. I also have a good bit of lower back pain most days. It was really bad for a while because baby was so low in my pelvis but now that he has moved up I have less pressure and can walk without waddling. I'm still comfortable sleeping at night which has been good and I haven't needed tons of pillows to prop me up or anything, but I do get really warm at night which kinda sucks.
I passed my glucose test and everything looks good with the pregnancy. I have gained I think around 15-18 pounds at this point depending on the scale we use. I do get big waves of neseaua during the day but have learned if I just keep eating and don't let me sugars drop, I'm fine. We switched to Dr Kory Harward a couple months back and I REALLY like him. He delivers at Orem Community and that's where I want to have this baby, it is literally 4 minutes from our house.
I have several Braxton hicks through out the day so it makes me wonder if he will be coming early like Madison did. But this time I am taking things more seriously and not doing as much.

Zach graduated from fire school today, he has applied to 3 different fire departments and another hospital job lately so our life may take another crazy turn here in the next month or so. Tomorrow is Easter and General Conference. We will see how we do being stuck at home all day hopped up on jelly beans and trying to listen to conference. I have a feeling that Madison won't let me watch any of it. Because of that tv is on she wants one of "her shows". Zach will be working at the er all day and then we will go to the Lyman's for dinner.
