sleep: i sleep through the night pretty well, but am waking up before my alarm because my back hurts. i have a body pillow, but haven't quite figured out how to make it help my back.
best moment this week: had another ultrasound on tuesday and baby is looking good! measuring right on size for my due date. also, matt got to hear the heartbeat.

Eek! You're getting a cute little baby bump! :) And yes--you're going to get a LOT bigger! I actually have 1 pair of maternity jeans that I think I'm going to grow out of in the next few weeks---never saw that coming! Last week I felt like I was STRETCHING from the inside and was going to burst, it was such an odd feeling.
Oh the sore boobs. I don't miss that!
