sleep, what a wonderful thing
Last night the most amazing thing happened... I slept all night! No crying two year olds, no bed wetting 5 year olds, and no nightmares for 8 year olds. Most importantly I didn't have to get up to pee every hour like I have had to for the last month!!! I felt soooo good this morning. Instead of dragging myself out of bed and getting, you guessed it, angry at my kids. I found that I was actually cheerful and patient (these are attributes that I have not claimed for myself in a very long time). So even though I am still feeling slightly nauseous I feel like I have the energy to deal with it today, for now anyway who knows how I will feel in about ten minutes. It just makes me reflect on how weird pregnancy is. When you look at a pregnant woman symptoms like hunger make sense, sleepiness also after all it takes food and energy to have a baby grow inside of you. But the symptoms like nausea, constant peeing (when there is nothing pushing on your bladder yet), gas, oh and I find that I have to burp all the time when I am pregnant (much to my husbands disgust and my 6 year olds amusement). These things don't make sense to me. But I guess it is the way it is and I just have to remind myself that THIS IS THE LAST TIME. So anyway I am fairly happy today, I have energy and the comfort of my fat pants, nothing can stop me now!

Last time huh? so you aren't going to have a fifth and a sixth kid?
Yes, I can attest to Karen's cheerfulness...I called her this morning and she was chipper and perky and feeling great.....it was just oozing out of the phone.
