• Big Brothers: What a week!  With Ethan's surgery, I have lifted him so much that I have this annoying pain in my groin area.  Jackson:  He saw a commercial on TV where the parents got a little pink toy for a little girl.  He said "Mommy, we will need that for our little sister."  Made me smile. :) (We'll see!)
• Notes: I remember somewhere it said that in the 2nd trimester you get some 'relief' for the middle-of-the night need to use the bathroom, but pretty much since I've been pregnant, that has not been the case for me.  I think it's God's way of getting you used to being up in the middle of the night with your baby. I have also had the craziest dreams!  It feels like I'm always in a dream state or my mind is just racing.  I'm not sure if I'm actually going into that deep sleep at all at night.  Sometimes I wake up to go the bathroom and can't go back to sleep.  My mind just won't slow down.  And that's especially strange for me.  I'm a great sleeper.  :) Another funny thing is that every day around 230p/300p, I get this crazy exhausted feeling - like I can't make it one more second with my eyes open. I've been trying to put on PBS when this happens and let the boys watch while I lay on the couch and close my eyes for a few minutes... It does help. I think after the crazy few weeks we've had, it will be better next week.
