Uncomfortable!

Yes you hear that right..... I am only 13 weeks pregnant and I am already uncomfortable. Hence the 1am posting. I am not uncomfortable walking or standing. It is when I go to lay down. Holy cow!! Trying to get comfy so I can sleep has been pretty hard. Not to mention I can't remember the last time I slept through the entire night. Which is not like me. My body must know me well. Body to self "CASSIE GET YOUR SLEEPING A** OUT OF BED TO FEED YOUR KID". No really I love sleep so yeah it should take me about the entire 9 months to get used to doing this. I should bolt right up for the 2-3 hour feedings. Because that is about how often I am waking up at night. I really lucked out with my youngest 3. They all slept through the night, minus Livi which she had a hard time for about a month before she started sleeping through the night, and even then she was not up every 2-3 hours. That was more like 5-6 hours.

Nothing too much going on here. Getting excited because I do have a u/s on May 11th and we should be able to find out the sex of the baby. At least I hope so, the ultra sound is suppose to take 45 minutes to do so I am hoping we will know by the time we end the u/s. It is a level 2 u/s. That is why it is longer then 5-10 mintues and it is 3d. It is suppose to let us know if the baby is growing properly and to make sure there are no abnormalities. Which I am sure she/he is fine, just excited to see him/her again. LOL I think that it is so amazing to see their movements. It is crazy to think that all that movement and growth is going on inside my belly.

I did recently find out that I tested positive for strep B. Which can be serious if not appropriately handled during labor and delivery. So I need to make sure I try and arrive at the hospital at least 4 hours prior to me delivering to make sure I receive antibiotics, and the baby will have to stay at least 48 hours after delivery to be monitored. NO biggie. At first when I learned I tested positive and the more I read about it, I was feeling nervous. But once I called my doctor to ask a few more questions the following day I felt much better about it. Plus just because I test positive now does not mean that I will test positive when I deliver. I will still get antibiotics just in case since I tested positive earlier on. Rather be safe then sorry right? Especially since it is the number one killer of newborns if not taken seriously. Which it will be.

Other then that weight has been decent. Up maybe a pound and a half if that, it fluctuates daily. Feeling a bit better about that. At least no more of this 7lbs a week crap. Still do elliptical 4-5 times a week, and trying to eat as healthy as possible. It doesn't help that all I crave is chocolate the last month or so. But trying not to overload it. I am not really a big chocolate person to begin with anyways so craving it is unusual, for me at least. Nothing much planned for this weekend. Staying in for the most part. Maybe IHOP after Javi's game on Saturday.

You would think since I am out of the first trimester now (yay me!!) I wouldn't be as tired as I am or maybe it has something to do with the whole peeing every 2 damn seconds at night. GRRRRR.... Today was Carson's last day of preschool. He had a water day and really enjoyed himself. I am sure he will miss all of his friends. Especially since he is the only one coming back next year. He has another year to go before kindergarten. All of his friends that he made this year are going to kindergarten this next fall.:( But we will try and make play dates with them over the summer. Deciding if I am going to put the boys into anything else over the summer. Don't know if I will want to move from my fan that I will be under constantly. HA HA Javi has about a month left of school himself. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. One, we won't have to get up so early. Two, Javi is a good helper around the house when he wants to be. Now for the negatives. One, he and his siblings fighting constantly. Two, the arguing then crying. OH hell maybe summer school is a option. HA HA Just kidding. Javi is supposed to be going to California this summer for a week with Dan's sister and mother. Dan's mother will be visiting her daughters (Dan's sisters) in Cali and bringing a cousin as well. The cousin is Javi's age and he has never met her. They live in Chicago so taking 4 LITTLE kids to Chicago is out of the question right now. Can you say expensive and miserable as HELL.... Plus Dan and I went back last year. We are still debating if we are going to let Carson go to California with Javi. He still wakes up at times wanting me or his dad. But he does love his Aunt and his brother will be there too, so we will see. That will be odd. Having only my girls for a week. Hmmm.... oh the sleeping I could get done.

Well I better try and get to sleep. I have to get up early with the kiddos. On the bright side, since I seem to post about every two weeks or so (Yes I know I have to be better) we should know the sex by then. Yippy!! Then I can blog all about the things I will be buying shortly there after. HA HA HA Nighty Night ya'll ;)
