Annoyances

Pregnancy symptoms I am not loving:
1. Itchy scalp!
Oh my goodness, it's driving me crazy!  It's particularly bad the last 3 or so inches of my scalp, closest to my neck.  Brushing my hair is heavenly since the brush makes a nice scratching implement  Switching the Head and Shoulders dry scalp formula hasn't seemed to help.  No dandruff, just itchiness. I've heard of an itchy belly, but not an itchy head. Suggestions welcome!

2. Insomnia
I know it could be much worse and will likely get much worse as I get big and uncomfortable.  And I've been lucky that it hasn't been too much of an issue in the second trimester.  But lying awake from 4:41 until 7:00 this morning was torture.  Not falling asleep until after 11:30 last night sucked.  I knew I'd be useless and miserable on less than 5 hours of sleep so I used half a sick day to stay home and sleep.  Just after I'd powered through my icky cold all last week to avoid using any sick time! 

But on the good news front....
I felt the first movements this past Wednesday.  Just like what I had heard - like little bubbles or popcorn popping. It's fun to have those little moments a couple times a day. 

And look for the first round of belly pictures later this week!
