Tell you a funny story.. Everyone says get as much sleep as you can cause once the baby comes you wont see sleep for a long time. It is 7:27 and I am up. I went to bed at 11:30 I had papers to grade then I got up at 12:37 sleep alittle then I got up at 3:30 sleep alittle there then I got up again at 5:30 then I got back up at 6:20 that is when my hubby leaves for work so I got up once again. I cant sleep I am so unconfertable. I know that you all know what I am talking about that are this far along or have already had your baby. My contractions are starting to be regular but not enough to do any good.

Yeah I have had the crampy feeling since about 3 something yesterday. But nothing has happend. Lol
i go to the dr today maybe well find out something..

Oh I know people kept telling me the same thing and I had restles leg syndrome and we were having a heat wave that was starting near the end, plus getting up to pee evry 1/2 hour I was lucky if I slept 4 hours all night. So now I feel like it's been about 5 months since I had a decent nights sleep and it'll be a long time before I can have one!

Milk always makes me feel gassy and bloated, I think I have lactose intollerance though. When I was a babe I couldnt drink anything but goat milk.

But this could be more of the last minute pains and yuck feelings--you think maybe??
