Week 15: More Sleep, Please

 

It was an over-all good week in pregnancy-land. Although my knees and bladder are making getting comfortable very difficult, my appetite has returned to normal and the amount of headaches happening have also reduced. I'm tired, yes, but not that BONE CRUSHING exhaustion of a few weeks ago. Just like... a bad night's sleep tired. Several days in a row.

Speaking of, I was given a wonderful pregnancy pillow by our friend Natalie. Natalie and her husband, Dan, just welcomed their first baby, Carleigh River, and we all went to bring them dinner this weekend. Well, Tater has decided that I am not allowed to be comfortable in my pregnancy pillow. Every night, I pass out comfortably. By about 1am, I wake up with a full bladder and a chihuahua that has essentially pushed me out of my own pillow into an awkward backbend. Strongly considering crate training at night again if he keeps this up. 

Besides meeting new babies, Daniel and I went on a date! Susu and Pop Pop Russo came over to hang with Frankie on Saturday evening so Daniel and I could go see Tall Tall Trees at The Grey Eagle on Saturday. It was our first show since quarantine/being vaccinated and it was so nice to be out and about! We went with our friends Rachel and Brandon, who also have two little kids, and it was so nice to sit and have time with them without chasing tiny kiddos!
