Perfect little modesty top

I have discovered the best little tops!  These are called t-lets and they are wonderful.  I've ordered 5 in total so far and I wear them everyday under all my dresses and any top I feel is not modest enough.  I love the coverage both front and back and the best part is that it doesn't cover my stomach.  If you've been pregnant you know you don't want more layers on your tummy in the summer.  An extra bonus is that they are perfect for the breast feeding momma.  I can't wait to try it out.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/gettisaccessories

What do you do?

I am a sleep talker.  I've been so since I was a child.  My mom used to get mad at us kids because we would all be talking at night and my mom thought we were talking to each other.  But after listening to our conversations she realized we were all sleep talkers.  My brother also would walk in his sleep so my mother put bells on all the doors so she would hear if one of us tried to leave the house while sleeping.  When I was in the military at 19 years old I was surprised to find out I murmur in my sleep with no distinguishable words.  I asked my mom and found out I had a long history of such talking.  I wasn't sure if I still had the same problem as an adult because I was abstinent and didn't sleep with anyone.  I knew I snored, especially if I wasn't on any allergy medication.  My husband recorded me one night after we got married, much to my annoyance, and let me listen to how loud I was.  I sort of sounded like my dad who snores really loudly.  I wasn't as loud as him but I was congested.  I had hoped I would stop snoring after I had septoplastic surgery which straightened out my deviated septum.  Alas, I have allergies which act much like a deviated septum.  Being pregnant I knew that allergy meds were likely out of the question but my allergies got so bad last month that I ended up getting very sick and came down with a nasty cold.  The doctors prescribed me allergy medication and I was able to recover.  I was very thankful as well as desperate when I couldn't sleep for 5 days straight because I'd stop breathing whenever I'd lay down.  It's almost been a month now that I've been on allergy medication.  I've stopped snoring but have started making noises at night with my vocal cords.  My husband is very annoyed but I can't help it.  I have no way of preventing it and no way of stopping it.  I'm hoping he will come to accept it but I have a feeling this is very very frustrating to him.  I feel bad during the day but when he tells me to stop at night I'm annoyed because I'm tired and he woke me up.   If only I didn't talk in my sleep.  I'm betting our children will talk too when they are old enough.  We'll see.

Sick Day

Today was supposed to be my first day back at work after a 13 day vacation and yet, I'm not there.  Why?  My husband and I are sick.  My husband brought home a bug on Wednesday and kindly shared it with me.  Ever since then we've both been out of commission and I haven't slept since Thursday.  What sort of a terrible cold does that to a person?  It wasn't because I was feeling sick that I couldn't sleep, I can usually sleep through that, rather it was because anytime I stopped moving around and laid down I felt like I was drowning.  So, I haven't slept and I've been very frustrated because I didn't want to go to Urgent Care because I'm pregnant and who knows what they would try to give me in the way of medication.  When I finally got through to my PCP and they gave me an appointment for this afternoon I broke down and cried.  I really hope that they can give me some relief.  Especially for my allergies which are driving me up the wall!  My guess right now is that I have severe allergies, congestion from being pregnant, a sinus infection, and bacterial conjunctivitis.  :)  Sounds like fun huh?  So in about 3 hours I find out what they can do for me.  Hopefully they will help me sleep.
