Let's liven things up around here. Post your FFQs. I have one, not that it is necessarily flame worthy but I wanted to ask it.
When, if at all, did your belly button pop? Mine is getting closer each and every day. I'm 22 weeks today.

My belly button never popped ....
As for sleeping - I propped myself up and had a pillow between my knees ... That helped as much as it could. DH and I slept in separate beds the last few weeks of my pregnancy just so I could have more room to try getting comfortable.

@luckyangel07 yes. I was told they aren't really worried about back sleeping until the 3rd trimester, and even then they just want you to start on your back since you can't control where you roll in your sleep
as for the other questions, @uptowngirl2009 my belly button is getting shallow but hasn't popped!
@saisongbird sleeping while pregnant I agree, sucks! I just roll a lot. I'm sorry you had a bad night:(

I think I took mine out around 21-22 weeks. it wasn't bothering me but it was weirding my husband out

At one point towards the end of my pregnancy I fell asleep sitting on my exercise ball laying over the arm of the couch. It was the best sleep I had gotten in months. Other than that I basically only slept when I was exhausted enough to pass out even though I was uncomfortable.

Yup! You'll get to the point where it will be really uncomfortable to be on your back for any period of time, but you're totally fine.

So we are going to finally move DD to a bigger car seat and I'm planning on buying a convertible one so that it lasts. Anyway, from what I've seen you can't carry those car seats our of the car, which means I will start having to take DD out of the car seat Everywhere we go.
My question is, since DD doesn't sit yet, how will I be sitting her if we go out to eat or to the store or something?
Now she usually just stays in the car seat when we go out to eat and stuff. Sorry for the dumb question.

Right now Zack is 20.5 lbs and over 28 in and I have no intention of moving him until at least after the winter season if possible (our car seat is good until 35 lbs and 32 in) because he stays warm and cozy in there and will still fall asleep in there. When he is awake, I take him out but he is sitting so we don't have the same issues you're concerned about.
Wearing her may be a good option though if you have a carrier and she'll tolerate it.

I totally agree. We're switching soon only because he's on the last notch to adjust the height. It's so easy right now just to take him from the house and click the seat into the car and not have to worry about it. If he falls asleep, he almost always stays asleep when we're transitioning from the car into wherever we're going and I hate the idea of having to take him out of his seat and waking him up with the convertible, but we're very soon not going to have the choice.
