early morning insomnia rambles at almost 38 weeks.
It's 5:30 in the morning.
I went to bed sometime around midnight.
I woke up about 2 hours ago to go pee, and I still can't fall back to sleep.
I've had a nasty cold since Friday. For the past 2 nights I took Tylenol PM, last night I decieded to take a night off from it, and of course, trouble sleeping!
I hate not being able to sleep. And I know, with the baby, it gets worse..
This baby has been snuggled up under the right side of my ribs for about 24 hours now... Not pleasant. Hurts to sit, -and- lie down.
I'm so congested it's ridiculous. My nose is runny, my breathing is shaky, I have a cough. :( I should not be allowed to get this sick, this late in pregnancy!!
I still can't believe i'm at 37, almost 38 weeks.
We have an appointment at 1:30 today. Hopefully we will find out something interesting.
I'm getting impatient! I don't want to wait another 2 weeks! :P
The nursery is almost done. There's still some clutter to be moved, I need to organize the book shelf more, exchange the diaper depot for the one that clips onto the side of the changing table, wash some last minute items, sort, fold, and put away another entire, large, laundry bag of baby clothes that I washed, and learn how to install the carseat. I think that's it..
Over the past 2 days I packed my hospital bags. Just need to put some finishing touches on my birth plan.
I'm getting antsy. Guess it's all my way of nesting.
I'm not going crazy, scrubbing everything with a toothbrush though. lol
My main concern is the babies room.
Now if only I could keep the cats out of the cradle...
Dweezil thinks it's a nice comfy new bed for him.
For now I have a flat box lying over it, and while that's a good deterrent for him, I've found Malachi snuggled underneath it. lol
Sure, it's super cute, but this can't continue.
Maybe they'll be afraid of the baby when she's born and stay out..
Anyone else with pets have any advice?
Speaking of Malachi, he's still kind of a terror. Not as bad, but is still into everything, and meows alllll of the time. More like, whines. Also, he's strong enough now to push the bathroom door open, and on several occassions I've found that he has used the bathtub as his own personal potty. Which he has been doing since Sarah got him, and is why we keep the bathroom door shut. ....which he can now, apparantly, push open...
On the other hand, he is getting much more affectionate, loves to cuddle at night, and purrs all of the time.
It's really a love/hate relationship we have with him..
Right now the sun is starting to come up, and looking to my right, I can see a very pale blue sky, and a bright pink streak across it.
It's really pretty.
I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it's essence if I try and take a picture. That, and the windows and screens in the back room are so old and disgusting, that would not make for a good pic either.
Sometimes, I like being up this early. Ussually only if I do it on my own terms. It's so peaceful. All I hear are birds (and the cats scurrying around, excited i'm up and thinking it's time to play and be loud). Honestly, some of my favorite and bost beautiful moments have been during the summer months, at dawn. Working at summer camps, watching the sun rise over lakes, is breathtaking.
I must say, that throughout my relationship with Jay, I've gotten to live in so many beautiful places. This is something I am soo grateful for! <3
Moments like these feel good.
I'm now kind of glad that I got out of bed and started to write.
I'm also glad that I can enjoy such a peaceful, beautiful moment, and not have to worry about being awake enough for work when my body finally begins to crash again. LOL (At least at I don't have to be awake for the day untill noon, which is still another 6 hours from now! :P)
The pink in the sky is starting to mix with pale yellow, as the blue sky is getting brighter. :)
I can't wait to share moments like these with my daughter. :)
