Tiredness is kicking in....

Tiredness is officially starting to kick in. I still have the same energy as I always have; however, I am starting to get tired a lot quicker these days.

I don't know if it's just because of the busyness this week or the affects of being in my last trimester, but I've been having a hard time getting up in the morning and making it through the day without 100 yawns!
Once I'm out of bed and my day starts moving,  it's not so bad; however, come 2pm, the sleep fairy starts calling my name-lol.

I got to work this AM to find out that my girlfriend at work who is also pregnant, due at the beginning of June, had her baby last night! She went a month early; however, she had a healthy, beautiful baby girl named Sophia Grace weighing in at 5lbs-7oz :-) I was SO excited to hear she had her baby that I nearly screamed! lol I fought back tears as another co-worker shared the exciting news with me. I just couldn't believe my ears!!!

We have shared countless stories and many laughs since finding out we were both pregnant. I have loved being pregnant with her and having someone at work to compare stories with and share advice with on a daily basis.

It became all so real to me that I am next!!! lol

What's even crazier is that I had a dream about her Tuesday night. I had a dream that she came to work pushing a baby carriage. When she approached my cubicle, I looked into the carriage and said "Awww, you had a baby girl!! I can't beleive you had her premature; she's so tiny!! I knew you were having a girl!!!"

What's crazy about this dream is that I had it the day before she went into labour.  Not only was my dream strangely accurate about the baby being born premature, but I was also accurate on the baby's gender!! She and her husband, like myself and Dennard ,didn't want to find out the gender until the baby was born. We have been guessing eachother's baby gender from day one.

I also said to her in my dream "Well...since you had the girl, I must be having a boy!!". Let's see how real that part of my dream is come July 15th!!! lol

I have recently been feeling like I am having a boy the last 2-3 weeks. At the beginning of my pregnancy I felt 'boy' very strongly. Then into my 4th month I started to feel I was having a 'girl'.  Now I am starting to feel 'boy' again! LOL

I am still having quite a bit of back pain today. It was really bad again last night. Praise God for my loving husband who massaged my back until I feel asleep last night. I called him this AM at work and asked "can you massage my back again tonight; you put me right to sleep last night!!". I could tell by his voice on the other end of the phone he wasn't so thrilled about the idea!!! LOL

Amazing Pregnancy Tip:
Four simple words.....VICTORIA SECRET BODY BUTTER!!!!!!
A friend of mine blessed me with a jar of Victoria Secret's Body Butter at the beginning of my pregnancy. She used it during her pregnancy and highly recommended it.
Within the first few weeks after receiving it,  I used the whole thing up!! I lathered it on religiously every morning and night over my tummy, arms and legs. I have since bought and used two more of these body butters. Nothing has worked so famously for my growing belly.  Not only does it leave my skin feeling silky soft and smelling wonderful all day, but it's amazing for stretch marks. I am almost 8 months pregnant and I have yet to get one stretch mark-GLORY TO GOD!!! lol
