If you'd ever asked me for a list of 1000 things I love, these two would have never appeared on the list, but now that I can't have them, I miss them:
1) Lying on my back. No longer a good idea, yet so tempting. Sometimes it hurts me, but even when it doesn't, I remind myself that it can hurt Bean (cuts off blood flow to the uterus), and go back to my lying on my side. Oh, my sore hips.
2) Soda. Pop. Soft drinks. Carbonated beverages. Cokes. Whatever you call it, I miss it. Mmmm, sweet, bubbly, cold, in a sweating vessel. This from a girl who rarely imbibed previously. But there's something about the sound of Pepsi and ice, swirling around in a paper coated cup with a plastic lid and straw, that cannot be replicated. I finally had a Caffeine-free Pepsi today with lunch. I have to say, it was on the verge of dissapointing, maybe because I drank it out of the can? Maybe because it's the caffeine that provides the bite? But that won't stop me from drooling next time I'm subjected to a Coke commercial on the big screen.

I am much better about it now, it will feel weird to be able to do it again soon! And sometimes my cravings for soft drinks are really bad, so I just limit myself to one in a day at the most. Usually after I drink one a day for about two days I don't want it anymore for a while. Anyway, that is just me... I probably should have eliminated them totally!

A body pillow behind me that just kept me slightly off my back did it for me...and I slept MUCH better after that!
Posted by: pooneh at June 16, 2005 11:27 PMYah, sometimes I sleep wopsided because it feels better than being totally on my side. But I still try to sleep on my side most of the time.
