It's 5:30 a.m. I've been up since 2:30. What better to do than update my blog? It's truly amazing the things that run through your head when you are wide awake at 3 in the morning. We've had so much going on, I can't make my mind stop long enough to think about sleeping. Incidentally, Bebe is up with me, so at least I am not alone. Or maybe she's just mad that I'm not asleep! I like to wonder what she thinks ... "go to bed, woman!"
Our house is getting ready to be turned upside down. We (well, Steve) finally got Bebe's room painted, and it is beautiful. Her bed linens came in, and cousin Linda is working on a fancy window valance. I have cleaned out closets, cabinets, drawers, basically anything not actually nailed to the house. I cannot wait to get her furniture, but we have one more tiny project to finish before we go pick it up. We are replacing the carpet throughout our whole house. Yes, the whole darn thing. The installers will be here Monday, which means I have 5 days to get lots of stuff packed up and put away. Well, really 4. I have a feeling I won't be worth much tomorrow! It's all very exciting stuff, but I am ready for it to be done. It will look great and I will be thankful we did it all in the long run. But right now, I am tired, which is ironic since I can't sleep!
Physically, I am doing okay. I am almost 9 months pregnant for goodness sake! I have thankfully had a relatively easy pregnancy. I still have backaches, and spend many evenings laying on the heating pad. Tylenol PM has become my friend, though obviously not tonight. The only other interesting change of note is that I have apparently developed a case of pregnancy related carpal tunnel. It feels very strange, but I've become accustomed to it. We will surely bring it up with Dr. Fields when we see him Friday.
Friday I will get the best birthday present ever ... I will once again get to see my precious child. We had an ultrasound at 28 weeks, and Friday I will be 35 weeks. I can't wait to see how much she has grown! From the looks of my belly, quite a bit. They will check her estimated size, weight, position, and all of that good stuff. Then we'll start talking about the big day. What I thought would be a never ending pregnancy has gone by amazingly fast. I had twinges of sadness the other day thinking that pretty soon I'll have to share Bebe. It has been nice, and very overwhelming, to have her to myself for the past 8 months. As my friend Becky's 2 year old daughter Hannah observed, my belly is her home. I like that thought.
I think I'm now going to make a vain attempt at sleep. I have somewhere I must be at 10:00, so my alarm will be going off in a few hours. Sweet dreams to all!
