Ella decided to have another odd night of sleep on Friday. She fell asleep really early - around 6 - and I couldn't really get her to wake up again. She was determined to keep sleeping no matter what I did. I was up until 12:30 a.m. so I could talk with Cory after he got home from delivering pizzas. I was definitely not ready to get up when Ella popped up and jumped out of bed at 3:43 a.m. We went downstairs where I tried to doze on the couch while Ella watched The Wiggles, changed into a bunch of different dance outfits and had a snack. After a couple hours, we headed back upstairs where I was finally able to get her back to sleep. I was so happy about that, not only because I was tired, but also because I had La Leche League Saturday morning and knew I wouldn't be functioning well on three hours of sleep.

So, the meeting went well. There were four other mothers there - all "core" moms - so we had a discussion about overcoming cultural difficulties: coming from a family where breastfeeding isn't the norm, how to deal with separation, breastfeeding in public, etc.

There wasn't a lot going on the rest of the weekend. Cory delivered pizzas Friday, Saturday and then tonight. Next week he only does that Wednesday and Saturday, so we'll have a lot of time with him over the weekend. Of course, next weekend Accalia also has a birthday party to attend, but Cory will be working during that time.

I haven't felt too great today, but hopefully that will change tomorrow. My mom asked today if I'm starting to show at all. I'd say my belly has definitely gotten a bit more rounded, and I have three pair of pants that fit. That's the lovely part of subsequent pregnancies - you start to show a lot earlier than your first, so you're feeling so icky from morning sickness as well as having trouble finding clothes that fit. That was the nice part of my pregnancy with Accalia. I remember it wasn't until I was at least three months along that clothes started getting a little tight.

That's about all from here. I'm going to try to read a little while everyone is content.
