babyhope - Congrats on your boy! I am thrilled to pieces to be having another boy myself. Boys are great! I think I would have been scared if I were having a girl - I KNOW what me and my sisters were like! (ALthough all the pink and dresses are fun!)
A3my - I've been sleeping poorly too! It sucks. I toss and turn all night - wake up every hour to pee - ugh! And then today I woke up a good hour and a half early feeling horrible with bathroom issues. Sat on the toilet forever - then couldn't fall back to sleep know I had to be up in like 30 minutes. I've been a mess all day now. I'm starting to dread the REAL lack of sleep I'll be getting once LO arrives - although I KNOW its all worth it! Those early days are so hard though!
I don't have one of those pillows - I just use like 3 -4 regular ones!
katie - I've had every kind of cramp you can imagine - leg, foot, back, EVERYWHERE. It sucks. I think they need to up my dose of thyroid meds... I know the cramps are a normal pregnancy thing - but they are also pretty common FOR ME when my thyroid meds need to be increased. I have to remind my doc at my next appt to check my bloods again....
As far as the hip/back pain goes -I would book an appt with the chiropractor! I am going back for the 2nd time next Tuesday and I can't freaking WAIT. I felt SOOOO great last time - I can't even explain. Its something EVERY pregnant uncomfortable woman should do! Seriously. I wish someone would have told me last time around.
Same thing with the "getting baby to switch postions" issue. I swear - once he adjusted me - baby just slipped right into the spot he should have been in. (I think anyhow - can't ACTUALLY tell - but it FELT right!)
Marta - You are a superhero with all your flipping exercise! Seriously. You make me feel like a tub of lard! Its gonna take all my effort to drag my fat ass for a walk tonight!
insomnimama - Thats pretty exciting! Whats your EDD? I think most docs like to schedule c-secs for a week or so before that.... Have you had c-secs with aLL your kids or just the last one or what?
NOW - as for me - I am getting SOOOOO UNCOMFORTABLE lately. And even while I think this pregnancy is going lightning fast - I really wonder how I am going to make it up till the very end. Especially when I think I'll be working the whole time too! That thought just about kills me! I don't know how I'm gonna do it. I feel like I can barely move anymore. Getting up and down is a major project! And its only gonna get WORSE over the next 3 months! Geesh! Is it bad that I secretly hope for bedrest??? Not really - but I do wish I just had a good excuse to stop working early! (not that I could afford it AT ALL!).
Anyhow - thats my little bitch of the day....

I feel like an old hag crossed with a tank too. I get out of my chair when I am sitting at my desk and I hobble around slowly, can almost hear the beep beep beep large vehicles make 
I wish we could afford for me to just even have a week off before EDD xxx
You are lucky you've got a break but I agree it will be awful going back. You can think of it as the last slog though!
