My Life, As Told Between (Baby Cakes') Naps

Felt the baby kick for the first time this morning!  I think I’ve been feeling Baby Cakes moving around for a few weeks now, but today I felt two solid kicks on my right side (a little weird since Baby Cakes primarily likes to hang out on the left side) that woke me up at 6am, an hour before my alarm went off.  I immediately woke T up so he could feel it too, but Baby Cakes quickly settled down.  Although I kept feeling some tiny bumps for another minute or so – I think he had hiccups – they weren’t strong enough for T to feel.  Nevertheless, I was so excited I couldn’t go back to sleep! 

Speaking of sleep, I’d been waking up with really bad back pain recently.  After a little research, I bought a Snoogle pillow last week.  The silliest looking thing ever, but it has worked wonders!  No more back pain (well, in the mornings anyways, it still comes on during the day at work) and no more waking up in a panic because I’m on my back (bad because the pressure could decrease blood flow to the baby) instead of my left side (the recommended side because of improving blood flow, etc.).
