New purse

I went shopping yesterday for a new purse. I had bought a fake Gucci in China in July 2006 for I think maybe $8 or something like that and used it ever since. So I got my money's worth I'd say, LOL! It was time for a new one though. Well the reason I mention my purse shopping here is that I usually buy small purses. As I examined the first one I was drawn to buy, it hit me - a diaper won't fit in here! So I ended up buying a slightly bigger purse. It's still small compared to most purses out there. I am not one who keeps a ton of stuff in my purse - wallet, calendar, keys, cell phone, pen, and a couple of tissues usually is about it (and my wallet isn't huge either). So for the next few months my purse is going to be more than 1/2 empty, but I expect once baby arrives on the scene that won't be the case! I wanted a purse big enough that I could put some baby stuff it in when I don't want to lug around a diaper bag. Baby is on my mind with so many decisions I make these days!

I did sleep a little better last night. I have been experimenting with positions and where to place pillows and such. But still I wake up very often throughout the night. It's a combination of being uncomfortable and getting up to go to the bathroom 5 million times a night. I did order a total body pillow that is designed for pregnancy from Walmart last night (if you have it shipped to the store the shipping is free so that's what I did). I am looking forward to giving that a whirl and hoping I'll sleep better with that pillow.

Oh man! I bought a body pillow from Walmart a few months ago, but I never use it. It just didn't work well for me. I alternate between sides and moving that thing from side to side just didn't work. So, it sits by my bed unused. (I use a regular pillow under my tummy instead.) I was just looking at it today thinking "what am I going to do with that thing?" Would you want to give it a try? If you like it, you could always return the one you ordered from Walmart. If not, that's okay too. I could probably sell it at the MOPS garage sale in April. But it's yours if you want it!

Ruth, that was so sweet of you to say a prayer for Little Sis to stay asleep! She only woke up once last night, around 1, so your prayers worked!!!

Thanks again!
