Catapult anyone?

Here we are in Week 30 already, with only 10 more weeks to go! This pregnancy is flying by quicker than I ever imagined. I certainly don't feel as far along as I am. I am especially excited that I can still see my feet and shave my own legs! =) I have been feeling good overall. Baby Emma is starting to prep me for motherhood via insomnia. I have had more trouble sleeping the past couple of weeks. Once I'm asleep, I seem to sleep pretty deeply (with the exception of those horrific dreams that I keep having). However, if I wake up for any reason, falling back to sleep has been a bitch. Now remember, I now have a growing baby compressing my bladder so I very happily wake up EVERY night at least once to go to the bathroom. These bouts of waking up often leave me lying awake in bed for hours. Then my brain works like crazy. It's rather annoying. I will hopefully have a better attitude about lack of sleep once my precious daughter is actually here. In the meantime, I will just have to deal with the increasing discomfort of sleeping and carrying around all this extra weight. Rolling over in bed is quite the arduous process.

My most endearing trait of third trimester pregnancy is my grunting to get in and out of the car. I never felt that my Civic was so low to the ground until recently. I definitely let out a fat lady grunt every time I get in and out of the car. So today I sat in the car for a few extra minutes, envisioning a wonderful switch next to the steering wheel that would function to sort of fling me out of the car when I needed to get out. A seat catapult would surely be a nice addition to my life right now. Trust me, the grunting is not very becoming!
