Cooper Giggles

Cooper started baby giggles yesterday.  Here's a quick clip of him in action.  It's so cute.

Also, he did it again, slept that is.  He slept 8 hours last night from 6pm to 2am.  I on the other hand did not have a restful night sleep, I kept waking up to check on him.  Then at 2am, I thought he may be awake for good but nope, he slept until 6:30am.  GO COOPER!

Riley Summit

Riley June 2007

Riley is preparing Sharon and I for Cooper's arrival.  She is a spunky puppy that is up and ready to go every morning between the hours of 4:30-6:30 a.m.  Today she let us sleep until 7 a.m., she must have had a tiring day yesterday.  She is very cute in the morning, she will walk on Sharon to wake her up.  She knows better than to attempt that with me, so instead she licks my fingers that are hanging off the bed.  The difference will be that we won't be able to say, "Cooper, lay down" when we want to keep sleeping!

On a similar sleeping note...I am about 37 weeks now and the tossing and turning during the night has reared it's head once again.  I have been able to sleep pretty well the past month with my pillow arrangement.  That's over.  I have the same pillow arrangement but the problem that I'm having is my hips are aching tremendously throughout the night.  It's the weight of Cooper that is bearing down on my hips and making it uncomfortable.  I switch sides all night from my right to my left in hopes of getting more sleep.  But by the time I'm awake, I'm in pain and it takes awhile to fall back to sleep.  I guess this is what is also preparing me for meeting this little guy.  The farther along you go in your pregnancy the more you want the baby out, it's all for preparation!!!

NO Sleep

I am not sleeping, I've had multiple tossing and turning nights this week.  I'm going on 25 weeks and I know this is only going to get worse so I'm feeling distraught.  The bed is not comfortable for me.  My hips hurt when I sleep on my side, I can't sleep on my back or my stomach.  I have multiple pillows in the bed, two body pillows and a smaller cylinder pillow.  I have one to rest my head on and one more just in case I need it in the middle of the night somewhere.  I'm almost ready to sleep sitting up on the couch or chair thinking I may get a better sleep.  I'm not waking up to go to the bathroom or any other reason than I just can't get comfortable.

We've been looking at getting a tempur-pedic mattress, maybe we'll get one sooner rather than later.
