Camping out in the LIVING ROOM

I was going to post pictures of our living room but Brian cleaned it up too fast!
My hands fall asleep all the time because little Ryah is sitting on my nerves and causing me to have poor blood flow, not to forget my swollen feet. The doctor said there is no cure for this other than to have the baby. Well, we all know that is not going to happen anytime real soon, so I just have to do what I can to elevate my feet and maybe sleep elevated if possible. I decided to do this one night to see if it would change anything. Now, this wouldnt be a problem, (my hands falling asleep) if it were every once in a while, but its CONSTANTLY. If its not my entire hand, my thumb and middle finger of my left hand is always asleep, and at least my middle finger is always asleep in my right hand. This makes it difficult and uncomfortable to do much of anything like type, write, brush my hair, get dressed, drive, and many other day to day necessities. However, I decided to try to sleep elevated and keep my feet elevated. So...I made a bed of about 20 pillows on the couch, brushed my teeth, kissed my husband goodnight, and folded my fat, swollen body into a taco on the couch. Not 2 minuets passed when I hear footsteps down the hall. I look up to see my husband standing there with pillow and blanket in hand, ready to camp out in the living room with me! He made his bed, kissed me goonight one more time, and laid down on the floor next to me. Even though we couldn't cuddle, he sacraficed his favorite place to sleep so he can share the pain and uncomfortablilty I was going through so he could be close to me, hear me breath, and know everything is ok. I love my husband so much, I am forever yours baby. Happy Anniversary!
