4:00 AM

Well at least I'm alive today and the Mayan Apocalypse didn't happen....

I have not had a difficult pregnancy. I mean, I have had the usual shit like swelling, weight gain, having to use the restroom non-stop, minor back aches, and I'm a bit more gassy than usual, but otherwise it's been smooth sailing. Well its been smooth sailing up until now.

I have recently developed insomnia and it SUCKS. I have always, always been a great sleeper and this waking up at 4 AM constantly is bullshit. Now, I don't wake up in a panic, worried or with thoughts on my mind, I just wake up even though my body doesn't want to. I do attribute some of it to Lincoln since when I do wake up in the wee hours of the morning he is always wreaking havoc in my uterus. One thing I know is my kid knows how to party, which is super cute now. It will probably not be cute when he reaches high school. I also wake up and I'm hungry, but I'm trying to avoid falling into the pitfall of that. Then again who the hell wants oatmeal at 4 AM?

The only positive is that I don't seem to bother Nathan or at least he hasn't noticed. Then again, he sleeps like death is upon him. I swear getting him to wake up out of his sleep is like trying to wake up a damn corpse, so at least my insomnia is not bothering him, which makes me extremely happy. I would feel awful if he had to endure this with me while going to work also. He will also take me out for an early breakfast sometimes too, since he gets up at 6 AM for work anyways. I say hell yes to that and what a good husband he is! I'm seriously soooo lucky.

Otherwise, my pregnancy has truly not been too bad.

Here are some pictures taken last night of me at 33 weeks. I'm getting big. Please do not judge me based on my attire. I know, I am channeling my inner white trash aka it was almost bed time when these were taken.

Shelia seriously can't stay out of these weekly updates.

I can't believe he's still going to grow more.
I'm going to be a house...

Have a great Christmas!
