So far, physically my pregnancy hasn't been too bad. I consistently wake up at 1 am (who needs an alarm clock?) to pee and eat a snack, and then can usually fall back to sleep.
Yesterday was a different story...it was my roughest 24 hours of all.
When I woke up, I tossed and turned for hours and didn't fall back asleep until about 5 am. When my alarm went off at 6, I battled with the snooze button about 3 times, then took control and just turned the darn thing off. I finally got out of bed about 8 am and didn't get to the office until 9:30 am.
All day, my hips and back hurt and the nausea persisted - despite taking a zofran pill. The ginger ale and saltines that they say help usually don't do a thing for me and today was no exception. I even tried drinking a Coca-Cola - which helped for about an hour.
I was in luck in that I previously had a massage scheduled for after work. Despite shifting positions several time, I still felt like I was going to barf and just couldn't get comfortable.
Finally, my massage therapist suggested I apply acupressure on the web between my thumb and index finger. That seemed to help a bit.
Today I feel much, much better! Glad that 24 hours is done!
Today, my mom comes to town so we can do "girl stuff." I am so excited!
Each time I talk to her she asks "How are 'my' twinkies?" It is my pleasure to relinquish ownership of them for the weekend. I just hope she feels the same way after they are born! :o)

Hey Iveta...your discomforts describe pretty much my entire 2nd trimester (minus the nausea). Every night...week after week. Hang in there! Being pg is not easy!
