Sleeping..
I have been having difficulty doing this since becoming preggers. I have always been a stomach sleeper and not I am being forced to sleep on my side. If I sleep on my left side then my arm falls asleep if I sleep on my right than my hip goes out of joint. Throughout the entire evening I am turning constantly between the two sides. Last night when ever I turned over the newly exposed side was instantly freezing but if I threw on the blanket than I got over heated within minutes. Lose-lose situation. The sheet is too thin and my blanket too thick. The only blanket that is perfectly thick/thin enough is my blankie from my childhood. In order to use this magical tool I have to wait until after Nick is asleep because he hates this blanket with a passion. (Nick has a strange aversion to anything with holes.) I think I am going to have go blanket shopping.
In celebration of the naming of the Spawn, Nick and I got ourselves a new record player! Nick has a rather modest collection of records and sadly many of them have been scratched. We will be able to play Beatles for Jude off of vinel which is a plus. If anyone has some records that are just taking up space feel free to send them our way. I promise they will be well loved and used often! I have attached a pic of our record player.
Baby UPDATE:
Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and measures 6 inches, head to bottom - about the size of a large heirloom tomato. The hair on her scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that he may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, taking to him, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
