Sleep:
I wake up at least twice a night to go to the bathroom and unfortunately I had a slipped disk in my lower back last year that I ended up having to get a steroid injection to finally help get rid of it. Well because of that I'm having major sciatica pain, so it's really hard to sleep on my right side and my back hurts like no other when I get up to go to the bathroom and when I get up in the morning.

Best moment this week:
We put baby girls nursery together this past weekend and it was definitely the best moment because I'm feeling way more prepared now.

Worst moment this week:
I'm constantly worrying about the flu, both my son and my husband had it recently and I got a virus a week ago so I'm just super paranoid about it right now. I told my doctor that I wanted to keep her in as long as possible so she doesn't have to be out and around all of the germs. : (
And bonus: the swelling has returned. Last pregnancy I had horrible swelling in my feet and ankles that started really early like probably around 25 weeks. Luckily it's held off until now and I think part of the reason it has is because I'm so much more active this time around since I have a 4 year old that I'm constantly chasing!

Miss anything:
A glass of wine would be nice. Kind of unrelated but I'm missing Summer and ready for the warm weather to return ASAP.

She obviously hasn't run out of room yet because she is still moving all over the place.
Cravings:
Greek food, ice cream, I'll pretty much just think of something random and then I have to have it.

Looking forward to:
These last few weeks spending lots of time with my son before she gets here. I'm having major first child guilt right now.
