I haven't been able to sleep very well the past couple nights. I'll wake up on my back in pain and switch to my side, but it doesn't help much. My back is killing me and I have to get up to pee at least twice in the night. And on top of that, I get so hot in the middle of the night, I'll wake up sweating. I'll look over at Dave and he's bundled up in his sheet and big furry blanket (he NEVER slept with anything before), so I know it's not hot in the house. It's only going to get worse, right? The past couple days I just wish I didn't have a job to wake up for so I could sleep it off. Yesterday at work, I could not get comfortable for the life of me. My bra was too tight (this is the second new bra size I've purchased-ack!) and my chair didn't have any back support. My office was hot and sticky. Blah, blah, blah.
Just when I start to close my eyes in frustration, the little guy kicks me. In the bladder no less. It's his favorite toy in there I think. And I smile. I tell him that he can kick mommy as much as he wants. Because I know how lucky I am to be in this position. Then I start to tear up thinking of where I've been and where many of my friends are now...hoping and praying that they'll be this uncomfortable soon. I hope that too my friends. It's the most uncomfortable, glorious feeling and I can't wait for you all to experience it...

I'm betting that it can't be fun to go through all of the uncomfortable stuff that goes with pregnancy, but your attitude about it is awesome! It's nice to hear a pregnant woman be "thankful" for the not-so-fun-stuff...and we can all understand why you feel this way.
My ex-friend used to drive me nuts complaining about her heartburn and all the other stuff she had to deal with...she did it more for pity and to be spoiled. I got SO sick of it after her third baby, I couldn't take it anymore. I really wanted to say "Whoop-dee-doo! Be grateful you have these problems! I'd give anything to go through it!" So, that's why it's especially refreshing to hear you say how it's not fun...but that you are thankful to go through it, because you appreciate what the outcome will be.
I'm sorry, it has already begun! You are doing it right, crank down the air. I know they have "pregnancy pillows" that are kind of like body pillows. Maybe that would help.
