Cocuklar Turkiye'de
The adventures of an American woman, raising multicultural children in Turkiye (Turkey)
5 December 2006

Just a Quickie . . . .

Welcome to the third trimester and all that it entails--the backaches, the headaches, the leg cramps, the loose joints that cause my pelvis to feel like there's a baseball bat stuck up in there.  The swollen ankles, the overall puffiness, the lack of stomach-room for meals, it's all good.  Really.  This little critter is kicking and spinning and wiggling all night long, and he only stops when I get up and go about my day.  I'm back to being tired again, but I know that I should rest now because in a few months I'll be so sleep deprived I'll wish to be pregnant again.

Have I mentioned that I have the most wonderful husband in the world?  Last Saturday night, Meg had a sleepover at a friend's house so we had the night to ourselves.  Ekrem took me to my favorite restaurant, Divan, and afterwards we went home where I had the most delicious ooey-gooey body oiled full rub down for over an hour.  It just doesn't get any better than that!  And I didn't even have to trade "special favors" for it, either!  I have felt so much better since then, I hope he does it again soon!

Now I'm exhausted and I think ready to go to bed.  I'll catch up some more later!
