The joy of a full nights sleep?

There many not be many things more amazing then climbing in a freshly made bed to kiss your DH goodnight before falling into a deep asleep for a good 7-8 hours. Then lets jump to the joy of opening your eyes to sunlight drifting through the curtains to slowly wake you from your peaceful FULL night of sleep. 

Sounds amazing right? 
I was thinking the same thing...

Let me come down just a bit so my head isn't in the clouds anymore...

Honestly, I don't think I have slept through the night since we first found out we were pregnant! It takes more energy to climb into bed then trying to keep it made up everyday. 8 hours of sleep? Not even close. 

You always hear other Moms tell you about the whole bladder "situation" and that you will be up and down all night. I had no idea the extent of it! Looking back, I remember when I started to notice the extra bathroom trips. I would smile at Grantham in a "oh yea were most definitely pregnant" way as I ran off for the 5th time that day. NOW, I'm lucky if I make it an hour without 5 trips! How are you suppose to get the recommended 8 hours of sleep if your squished bladder is preventing you from simply making it back to the bed before having to turn around again. 

Now I don't want anyone to start thinking i'm ungrateful for what God has blessed us with, or regret any of it! I'm just simply saying... you probably wont find me talking about how enjoyable this pregnancy was. How every time I walked into a room I was greeted with rainbows and little butterflies.
Now, Bring on all the tiny clothes and extra food thrown my way! Lets not forget the sweet bundle of joy we get after this is all over with. James is worth every single bit of it! ^_^ I'm just not too fond of the messy and down right painful details in between!

 He was planned so I had it coming & I knew it! haha
The reality of pregnancy can be harsh & we haven't even made it to the labor and delivery part yet!
