This last week I have had a lot of trouble sleeping - I go to be around 10 and by midnight I am up using the bathroom and then it takes almost an hour to fall back asleep. I'm doing the best I can get rest, but it's getting harder - not because I'm not comfortable, it's just like I am wide awake. And, I had my first experience with reflux/acid - scary. I was lying down and literally woke up to acid coming up my throat - it really freaked me out so I ate some Tums and then sat up for a bit before lying back down. For those who deal with this often...I FEEL FOR YOU!
Yesterday we had a shower at our church - everything was so nice and lots of people gave us really nice things for baby!
Baby's room is coming together - crib is up, dresser is up, curtains are hung. We still have a lot of organizing to do - and a lot of items that need to be returned (we have realized that we probably don't need 75 baby wash cloths or 15 newborn sized swaddlers). So, we hope to return some stuff this weekend and finish purchasing some baskets and other organizing tools for the room.
G and I also went to dinner and to a movie on Saturday - we figured it was something we should do before baby gets here. May be a while before we have 4 hours to spare.
We are getting closer to meeting baby boy - and are filled with such excitement! G and I are currently making wagers on weight/length and hair color. Keep us in your prayers as we race to the finish line!
As crazy as it sounds, we took the baby to at least one movie after he was born. It was a Saturday matinee, and he slept all the way through it!
ReplyDeleteI can fully sympathize with the not sleeping although mine is more from discomfort these days. But you're almost there!
