I'd like to file a complaint. The engineer responsible for this Pregnancy Process has done a lackluster job.
Oh, I'll give you that the process does seem to reach the desired conclusion, so it's an acceptable process, but there are so many unwanted side effects! I think that the engineer in question should seriously consider a redesign!

I'm at work today. My wife is not. After a week straight of getting up at somewhere between 3:30 and 4:00, the wife was up this morning at 3:00. 3:00! Two and a half hours before we have to wake up.

It wouldn't be so bad if she could turn over and go back to sleep. Thank god *I* was able to do that last night. But, no. K's brain goes on overdrive.

On top of all that (and possibly in part because of all that), K's stomach is giving her issues as well. It's been much more acidic than usual.

I feel bad. There's nothing I can do. There doesn't even seem to be anything she can do. But it sucks.

I guess, on the plus side, according to The Bible, the n00b is developing muscles this week. Which is interesting.

In non-pregnancy news, we saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince this weekend, and enjoyed it. We tried to get K a netbook and failed and I tried to get into a little bit of trouble, game-wise and failed (I learned a valuable lesson last year: don't buy a game until you've read the reviews, unless you KNOW you'll love it e.g. Sims 3)

Next week we're off on vacation. That means this week we prepare for vacation. Make sure to run laundry once during the week. Plan out a few things. And Pack, obviously.

On top of that, as my cubicle (and everything in it) is being moved from the fifth floor to the fourth floor while we're on vacation, I HAVE to clean my cubicle up. Put things back together, get rid of things I can get rid of. Stuff like that.

And that's the news that's fit to print

One word..Tums..just not the chocolate flavored ones *shudders*

As for sleep, pretty soon Kristen will be an exhausted zombie.

When Min and went to Niagara Falls for a belated v-day and I was about six weeks I slept during almost all the vacation. I slept on the train there, took a two hour nap when we arrived after we got some food, got up for dinner, and then crashed early for bed. On top of that I was nauseous the whole trip. It was one of my least favorite stages as I could barely function. Luckily it varies woman to woman so cross your fingers that Kristen doesn't get hit too hard.

Speaking of which are you interested in knowing what books Min read and liked for fathers? There is a glaring lack of them and even fewer good ones. Min found many of them talked down to men and treated them like they were cavemen.

1) I have single-handedly finished half a bottle of Tums at home in the last five weeks. I bought a giant bottle at CVS that stays in my desk at work. I do not recommend pineapple flavored Tums, they just taste like crap.

2) I have been an exhausted zombie for weeks now. The problem is, I spend all weekend catching up on sleep that I don't get during the week. Stupid GAD has decided that if I'm up to pee on a weekday, it's acceptable to put my brain in babble-mode for the next two hours. But on weekends, I'm able to fall back asleep with no problem.

My OB has OK'd melatonin, so I'm trying one tonight. I just can't keep up.

Ack, that really sucks. I hope that the melatonin helps!

I lived off the berry flavored tums. I gave up trying the other flavors after the chocolate trauma.

O liked this one a lot. Sadly, we already passed on our copy of it to another pregnant couple.

I like your icon, and I hope the stomach and sleeping improve soon.
