Leg cramps and nightmares

On Friday night I stretched out on the couch and watched TV with Kurt. Sometime during the movie we watched I felt the urge to stretch my legs and didn’t pay attention to the fact that I was pointing my toes - all of the sudden - OUCH! SONOFAB#@$!!! I got a pain the shot from my back, which always seems to hurt if I’ve been sitting anywhere in any position for more than fifteen minutes, all the way to the bottom of my right foot. It feels like the arch in my foot just popped out. I read in one of the weekly emails I get about the growth of my baby and what my body is going through that I shouldn’t point my toes when stretching, but I keep forgetting!! What a painful F$#@% reminder! I can’t remember WHY I’m not supposed to point my toes - other than to avoid that shocking pain. I’ve made this stupid mistake about five times now. The first time was just shortly after reading the article that told me not to point my toes.

Saturday night I remember having a nightmare. I can’t remember what it was about I just remember Kurt trying to wake me up. He said I was mumbling something incoherent. I must have also been screaming, yelling, and or thrashing about in order to wake him, but he didn’t mention any of that. I’ve read that pregnant women tend to dream a lot more and extremely vivid dreams. I guess it’s true since so far I’ve had two dreams and one nightmare during my pregnancy. Prior to that I had only had maybe one dream and two nightmares in the eight years Kurt and I have been together. I can’t remember what my first pregnancy dream was about but it was during the coma that was my first trimester. My second dream was just a couple weeks ago and was about a four year-old Sophia getting ready for her dad to take her to daycare on his motorcycle for the first time. I was freaking out and telling her to make sure and hold on and not to fall asleep. “yeah yeah I know mom,” she says.
