Zzzz's don't always agree with you

I am amazed at how different this pregnancy is.  Most of it is due to the fact that I feel more because I was pregnant less than a year ago (although, lots of women feel more in their second pregnancy regardless of when it is).  I cramp like crazy, I have headaches, and my sinus' are nonstop overactive.  My least favorite of all of the problems, though, is lack of sleep.  I slept so well while pregnant with Bella, even at the end of the pregnancy.  Now, I can't seem to get a full night of sleep.  I always wake up at least once for some reason, then it takes quite a while to go back to sleep.  It always seems to be a different reason, usually due to another pregnancy symptom or Bella waking up in the middle of the night.  I'm kind of hoping that my sinus chill out after summer starts to cool off, because I'm under the impression that they are causing most of my issues: the headaches, not being able to sleep, nausea.  I think I'll feel a lot better after my sinus' calm down.

On the bright side of life, Bella is getting another tooth (hopefully soon) and she sits up on her own like she always knew how to.  She'll roll around and roll right into sitting up in one fluid movement.  Its weird to see her do that.  I'm really hoping that by the time we see her newest doctor (the developmental pediatrician), there will be nothing she can tell us but "Why are you hear again?  This kid is on track."  After all, we won't even see her until at least January.  There are so few of these specialists and so many patients that it takes forever to get an appointment.  So, hopefully, we'll have the MRI again just after Bella's birthday (what a present, right...) and they'll come up with nothing.  No surgery, no pain, no problems.  Then we'll even be wondering what exactly the developmental pediatrician will have to look for.  She's also standing on us (not furniture quite yet) and she's still getting on all fours and rocking, like she has for over a month now.  Its odd how something can take her months to master and other things take 2 days.  I'll never really understand that.

Anyway, everything's on the up and up for the time being.  Life changes at the drop of a hat though, so I'm not expecting everyday to be better than the last.  Its the overall outcome that we want to be positive.  And at least I have something to look forward to so I can keep my mind off all of the potentially negative things: next sonogram on September 7th.  Boy?  Girl?  I don't know, but I'm excited to find out.
