Exhaustion!

I haven't updated much lately, I have been so busy taking care of our daughter and trying to make sure everything is ready for the baby.

I have been extra exhausted lately too. I guess my body must be working hard to grow this baby. I feel like I could never get enough sleep, even if I slept for a week straight! I have been trying to go to bed early and take naps when my daughter does to make sure I get the rest I need.

I still can't believe I have made it to almost 31 weeks!! I sometimes feel like I have never had a chance to enjoy this pregnancy. I have been so scared & worried so many times and so busy with Ceili that I haven't had time to just sit, rub my belly and enjoy the miracle of this little bean growing inside of me. I guess now is the time, I need to start taking the time to rest and enjoy.

I saw the doctor earlier this week. He said that the ultrasound looked good and the previa didn't show up. The baby is a healthy weight and is head down like the tech told me. I asked him about a vaginal birth and he said it shouldn't be a problem at all...that made me super happy! I am hoping to do it without drugs again because I'm scared to death of epidurals and I'm not a big fan of the whole idea of them. Now I start seeing the doctor every 2 weeks then every week starting in December, so I will be at that office alot. I am secretly hoping this baby arrives a couple of weeks early, but we'll see! I'm just so anxious to find out if it's a boy or girl and to make sure he/she is healthy :)

One of Those Mornings!

Wow, what a day I am having! Our daughter woke up every couple of hours last night, so I was up with her 4 times. Then she was up for the day at 5am! She had no reason to wake up so many times, she just wasn't sleeping soundly. I am so exhausted.... and grouchy.

Then there was the usual toothbrushing fight that ended in 2 time-out's in her room and me bursting into tears right along with her! Probably the combination of lack of sleep and frustration just got to me.

We went to my parents house for a visit this morning and Ceili fell asleep on the way home in the car. I got her into her bed and she is still sleeping almost 2 hours after she initially fell asleep. When we got home, I was starving so I decided to make myself lunch. By the time I was done lunch I figured I only had about a half an hour to sleep so I decided to forgo the nap today. Guess I was wrong! Oh well, I will sleep well tonight.

All I can say is thank god my hubby will be home tomorrow night!
