I’ve been having a really hard time sleeping. I chalk it up to being pregnant. It isn’t really “uncomfortable” or anything like that. I’m just incredibly restless. I get tired at odd times of the day, though all in all, I’ve been really ultra energetic. Bean’s kicks are getting stronger — she’s even starting to respond to Dave’s touch. He’d tap his fingers on my belly and within seconds she’d kick him. It’s pretty neat.

Next week, I start my second quarter of prenatal yoga classes. It’ll be awesome, as I’m a lot bigger now than I was before. I’ve been making room to pamper myself every so often. My yoga class is like a personal strength equipment class for the prenatal, and I needed space to just relax. Sooo, two weeks ago, I made an appointment for an hour long prenatal back, neck, leg, and foot massage. Oh my goooodness it was so darn yummy. I’m going to do it again in about two weeks. It was well worth the money. For two nights in a row after that, I slept like a baby and my stuffed nose cleared. Wow! Plus, they say that massages help with labor too.

I’ve been eating really well too. Mostly healthy foods, with a touch of sweets here and there. Pregnancy does weird things to the body that I’m not used to: 1) I don’t like food that is as spicy as I did before pregnancy, 2) I like lots of sour and more amounts of sweets than usual. It’s very odd. I’m also drinking loads and loads of water. I go through about 15 glasses of water everyday, it seems. Dang!
