So Sleepy!

This is getting crazy. I am so tired and just can`t sleep properly! I go to bed at night and wake up a few hours later. Then I am awake until around 5am. When I wake up in the morning, I am so exhausted that I feel like a zombie!! I am hoping I snap out of this pretty quick as it`s now been 3 days and I feel like I'm running out of fuel.

In other news, I am getting things crossed off of my to-do list for before the baby comes! We have cleaned up our basement quite a bit so that my when my sister comes she has a place to sleep. We donated a bunch of stuff to the thrift store today and it's starting to look pretty good downstairs! I have also finished my birth plan (finally) and am working on packing my bag for the hospital today. Our home renos are complete as well. Things are coming together!

I also finished my Christmas shopping today, I know there's only a week left until Christmas. I think this was my slowest shopping year ever, but that might be because I'm 8 months pregnant. I'm excited for Christmas this year mostly because Ceili is so excited :) She is in awe of Santa and keeps looking at the gifts under the tree excitedly. Kids make Christmas magic! Next Wednesday night my best friend and her family are coming over to have dinner and exchange gifts for Christmas. I'm looking forward to that because her kids and Ceili get along so well and it's always a fun time.

Oh, I hear the little one up from her nap so I'd better run.

Vacation and Doctor's Appointment Update

Finally, I have a chance to post an update! Our trip to Jasper was wonderful, the hotel was so beautiful and I got a pedicure, prenatal massage and some waxing done while we were there! The first day we were there, Matt ordered chocolate covered strawberries and alcohol-free champagne to our room which was such a surprise! I wish we could've stayed for a week! The swimming pool was so cool, it was a heated outdoor pool with a view of the mountains so we got to swim while giant snowflakes fell on us. It was so relaxing because we just hung around and spent some quality time as a couple which we really haven't done in a long time. I feel a whiole lot closer to Matt after that trip :) I have posted a pic of my by the big Christmas tree at Jasper Park Lodge (33 weeks)

Since our trip I have had the pleasure of getting bacterial bronchitis which is so terribly painful especially when my lungs are squished by a baby! I have been coughing up phlegm and I sound like there's gravel in my chest. Thankfully my OB heard me coughing yesterday and diagnosed me. Now I am on antibiotics and ventolin. I'm just glad I'll be better before Christmas! Our poor daughter is suffering with a really bad cold that includes a cough, but thankfully it's only a virus so she should be over it soon.

I saw my OB for my 34 week appointment yesterday and everything is good. Next appointment he will do the GBS test and give me my papers incase I go into labour...I can't believe it's getting so close already! I think we have finally agreed on some baby names as well, so that's another thing off my mind. We have chosen 3 girl and 3 boy names, so I think we should be able to agree!

I'm still feeling pretty tired, but it doesn't help that I'm sick and we've been so busy. Matt's also been working late and going to functions with vendors from his work lately, so that means I am looking after Ceili on my own some evenings which is tiring when she isn't behaving! At least when Christmas is done, we will be less busy unless baby arrives before then!
