<looks totally innocent> Sorry.... ? :o) hehehehe. Well I guess I really _am_
lucky. Actually I have had only minor physical complaints since I got
pregnant. Resulting in just a few minor adjustment in my day to day life. In
fact I feel better then ever. Also a few larger adjustments. But only because
they make me. Not because I feel it is really that deadly neccesary.

Haven't had any bladder problems at all. Not even now. Maybe next week.....who
knows. :o)

Nope. Still sleep in the same position I always sleep in. Only problem for me
is turning around when I cannot use my arms to help pull me over. Although it
is very nice when Jeroen takes some of the weight off my spine by cuddling up
against me and putting his arm around me so I can relax against him. And I
still sleep all through the night. That is unless junior has one of his very
active phases. He has those usually after a growth phase (during those he is
really quiet). Then he tends to wake me every few hours when he moves around
like he's doing aerobics or something. But now a days I even tend to sleep
through most of those.
There ... in your face. ;o) Gna gna gna. I'll probably be punished for all the
comfort I had until now sometime at birth. But that is still far far away.
