Right now Benji is sleeping on the floor at my feet in the office. I slipped a pillow under his head because he looked so uncomfortable. I always ask him if he wants to go lay down on his bed but he refuses. He just plays until he can't play anymore and then lays down right where he is standing (or sitting) and falls asleep. Even if he was actively engaged in activity. Hence the guns next to him on the floor.
The picture of me is one that I took right this very minute. I NEED A NAP! I didn't sleep very well last night on top of going to bed at 1:30am and getting up at 6:30am. (Don't ask!) I failed my first glucose test for gestational diabetes last week and had to go do the 3 hour fasting test today. So by the time I actually started the test I had been fasting for 14 hours. By the time I actually got to eat something it had been 18 hours. That may not seem like very long to most of you, but if you have ever been 30 weeks pregnant, I'm sure that you can feel my pain.
I was physically exhausted from the lack of sleep and calories (and though I shouldn't admit it, the lack of caffeine). Needless to say when I left the Lab I went straight to Jack in the Box and downed an ultimate bacon cheeseburger with a large curly fries and diet coke. Not my brightest idea, but at the time my stomach was thinking, not my brain.
Now I am home. I am hot and swollen because it is 110 degrees outside. I am tired from the lack of sleep and uncomfortable because of the jump from no calories to like 4,000 in a 20 minute period. I just want to take a nap but I know if I pass out now I'll never sleep tonight.
SIGH! I 'm sure nobody wants to hear me complain about being pregnant and swollen and tired and uncomfortable. But if I can't complain to my blog, who/what can I complain to? Isn't that kind of why people keep these things? To vent? Even if you guys don't appreciate my grumpy post, Alan will surely appreciate that you had to hear it and he didn't!

Oh that totally stinks! If I were you I would have gotten a milk shake too :)
Hang in there only 10 but crossing my fingers for 9) weeks left!
You're getting there. Pregnancy sucks :( I love the outcome, but hate the process. I'd take your kids if we lived closer, then you could nap all day :) Crossing my fingers for 9 weeks too!!!

Oh, I forgot, tell Kelly I'm enjoying her book. I got it from Amazon. Can't wait to finish!

Yep, I'd say the blog is the place to complain. That's what I always did (still do). Sorry about the discomfort. I totally would have done the same thing with the giant meal.
