Week 34: I received a phone call from my sister last night. She needed a ride to attend her neurologist appointment, and I know how hard that can be anyway, on her own.

My mom covered the gas money and I picked my sister up early this morning. It's amazing how early the sun comes up now. I almost feel guilty for sleeping in 'till 8:00. But I was pleasantly surprised my back hasn't been hurting me as badly as it has the past week. I have been contracting all day, although I honestly can admit that I can't tell the difference between the Braxton Hicks and the baby moving, anymore.

I am so compact, I dont feel so pregnant, even although I only have a few weeks left.

My big problem is sleeping at night. I so look forward to going to bed at the end of the day, and actually- in the beginning and middle, too- but once I get there, I just feel like there is no way I will ever get comfortable.

I am scared to death of sleeping anything close to on my back after an experience I had last Saturday. Laying in bed reading for a while, propped up with some pillows, I somehow managed to cut off enough of my blood supply that I passed out.

Never had that happen laying down, before.

The maternity ward nurse explained it probably had something to do with the fact that my uterus is getting heavy enough to put too much pressure on my arteries. I had some abdominal stitching just before it happened, so that probably constricted the blood vessels even more. It was too crazy, I didnt even know what to think. For now, all I can think about is getting work and stability.
