We've been pretty busy this week with work and this past weekend with football and enjoying Sarah and Brady being in town. I realize our definition of "busy" will change drastically quite soon so just keep in mind that I am not completely oblivious to the craziness we will soon experience.
That brings me to my first update!
- We will for sure meet Ann some time next week!! If we do not go into labor sometime before Monday we will go in for another appointment with our doctor and will then decide when to schedule to be induced. In a way it's great knowing we will meet her some time in the next week but it also has me on "get things done" overload and I can't seem to relax and enjoy these last few days with just John and our fur babies! I find myself sitting briefly on the couch and then jumping up to clean out another closet, organize our bed linens (like that's important) or stand in her nursery trying to figure out how I want to adjust the wall decor. There are way better things I could do but these insignificant items are the ones I cannot seem to ignore.
- I've gained 35 pounds. 35 pounds that I will acknowledge. It may be a few more but I am not counting the first few because I just don't want to.
- I spent $7.00 on a large icee and two chocolate chip cookies held together with 1/2 an inch of icing today. That is your explanation for the above.... I don't even feel bad about it. I don't feel bad that after the icee and 1/4 of the cookie was gone I was so full I started to feel a little queasy but forced down the rest of the cookie because I have no self control. I don't feel bad that I had to take deep breaths while eating the cookie because it was so rich and I was so full that I didn't think I could eat all of it. I also don't feel bad that I will probably go home tonight and eat two chocolate covered frozen bananas because they are so small you can't count one as an entire serving despite what the box says.
- I get up every two hours now at night for various reasons. One reason is because Ann likes to kick my bladder and that in turn causes a contraction and I have to get up. Another reason is because I wake up sooooo hungry that I have to go downstairs and drink a large glass of milk just to fill me up enough to go back to sleep. And the final reason is because Ann has a problem with the hiccups and they are so strong they wake me up so I go downstairs and watch bad movies that are on at 3:00 a.m. so I don't disturb John any further. Well another reason might be because I am such a light sleeper now that even the SOUND of John BREATHING keeps me awake and I can't stand to wear earplugs any longer because the sound of my own breathing is keeping me awake when I have them in. Serious issues that will hopefully go away soon.
- When I am up at night I go into Ann's room and sit in her chair and wish she was here so I was at least up for a reason rather than just creeping around our house at odd hours. Even Tara and Bernie look at me like I'm bothering them when I'm downstairs at night... excuse me puppies. John thinks I am going to go into Ann's room and wake her up to hang out with me at night... I assure him she will do that all on her own and not to worry that I will not "bother" her... who says that?! (ok I might at first but I'll stop once I get used to her being here)
- I'll post pictures of the nursery this evening :). It's as done as it is going to get for awhile, I have a lot I want to do with the wall decor but realize that will come in time when I find the things I really want to put up. Right now it is just a hodge podge of last minute stuff. I have some ideas of the look I want but need to gather the items first. It will be an ever changing room I'm sure!
- I'll also post a picture of the new desk in our office area. I haven't painted the chairs yet or accessorized but I do love the desk and how it looks with the rest of our house. This will be a slow project because it will for sure hit the back burner once Ann is here but I'll post pictures of any progress I do make.
