Totally useless stuff that is on my mind

Happy Thursday.  I have lots of weird stuff on my mind so I'm just going to dump it out right here.

My belly button hurts.  The bottom part of it at least.  It's sort of sore, and there is a stinging going on. This is not comfortable.  Maybe its because I had my belly button pierced many years ago and the holes are still sort of open and they are stretching...maybe? I'm thinking my belly button is going to pop out soon.  I've never seen the inside of it before, so this shall be exciting.  I'll report back.

I <3 my body pillow.  When I got it for Christmas from my mom I was sort of like "eh, I've never used one of these before and I don't think I'll use it".  Frankly, for the first few months of pregnancy, well up to the last 4 weeks or so, it was useless.  It sat in my closet because it was big and clunky and uncomfortable but please take my word for something here readers: GO RIGHT NOW AND GET YOURSELF A BODY PILLOW.  This thing has saved my life.  I've had horrible hip pain since about 21 or 22 weeks and the body pillow relieves so much of that pressure when it is engaged between my legs. My tip:  When you have it between your legs, try to keep your legs as straight as possible. I found that if I bent my legs around the pillow my hips would hurt even worse. 

TMI warning on this one...

Why do my nipples hurt so bad?  My first trimester flew by without very much complaining from me other than my boobs hurting like crazy, but that went away quickly and now my nipples hurt.  If you've been pregnant its not a surprise to you that there have been um... changes; to the color, shape, and size of the boobs/aerola/nipple area but it hurts.   My nips hurt bad.  I don't know why this is necessary.  After the great boob growth spurt of winter 2010 for me, does my body really need to subject more pain to my chest area? Apparently yes.  Thanks body. WARNING: Don't google the word aerola for spelling purposes... especially at work. If I'm fired, you'll know why.

I realize that there is a general feeling of "bitch, bitch, bitch" (not like I'm a bitch but like I'm bitching) going on with this post and I'm sorry for that.  But get used to it because this is my blog and I'll complain if I want to. But I'll try not to, too much at least, because I like you, you little readers.
