Heartburn and Leg Cramps and Sleeplessness, oh my!

Yes, starting to get some of the lovely pregnancy symptoms to further interrupt my sleep- heartburn and leg (and foot) cramps. So my plan to stock up on sleep now isn't going so well, but I guess it's just another lesson to learn about plans going awry. I do feel Specken move around more, and even see some movements, so that's a bonus. Other than that, we've been feeling good, and still playing tennis.

We're making some progress on the nursery. The fabric we ordered came in, so we picked it up this weekend. Part of it is for my nursery inspiration idea, and the other part is for the curtains, which Deborah has graciously agreed to sew for Harris! The honeycomb shades also came in, so Hut and I had struggled through putting them up (the instructions say easy installation, but also have 2 sets to follow! And it would be easy if they labeled which said goes out. Silly me thought "marshmallow" would be the white side, but apparently they are stale marshmallows.) I'll post a picture later of them up. I would have posted last night, but I became distracted by a website I found- more on that below. So glad they are up, and hopefully helping to keep out some of the heat. We left them open enough for the cats to still use the windows, so they approve as well. And we just got word that the glider and ottoman are in! Yay! Now we just have to figure out how to get them to magically appear in the nursery from the store. Crib, changing table and armoire to follow, hopefully not much longer.

The website that so captured my attention is called Not Always Right, about how the customer is not always right, and in some situations, is very, very wrong. Service people from all industries write in with their stories, and some are hilarious! Couple of my favorit excerpts (sometimes it's the title that does it to me):

Virgin Galactic, Eat Your Heart Out
Airline Orlando, FL, USA
(I’m a flight attendant, and was doing my pre-takeoff check in the cabin. A man stops me and gestures to the small digital camera sitting in the seat next to him.)
Passenger: “Is it ok if my camera is here for the flight?”
Me: “Sure, sir. That will be fine.”
Passenger: “But shouldn’t I put it in the overhead bin?”
Me: “It should be fine there, but if you’re worried about it falling on the floor during landing you could put it in the overhead bin.”
Passenger: “But after takeoff, won’t it start floating around the cabin?”
Me: “Well, sir, just hold on to it. Once we slingshot around the moon, it will be fine.”

Time To Move The Bodies In The Backyard
Dog Trainer Northern California, USA
Dog Owner: “Yeah, my Golden Retriever keeps bringing things back to me. Do you know why?”
Trainer: “Well, ma’am, what’s the second word in the breed’s name?”
Owner: “Uh…retriever?”
Trainer: “That would be why.”
