Wow! When everyone would say that one day you would begin to have this crazy urge to start "nesting" for the new baby… I just thought that I was kind of like that all along. Boy was I wrong! In the last week or so I feel like all I can think about is the baby and getting everything ready for her arrival! Not just getting things ready, but wanting to make things for her nursery to make her feel like the special princess we all know she is going to be. So, this last friday I broke down and bought a bunch of crafting supplies to make the images in my a reality! I had three main projects for myself… creating a mobile for over the crib, refinishing a side table for next to the rocker, and adding something to the pink/black lamps that I had already purchase. Going into Michaels, I didn't really have a clear idea of what I was going to do for any of these projects, but I was determined to figure it out while I was there so I could make sure to buy everything I needed! Well… after about a total of 9 hours over the weekend, my visions were complete. Take a look at the pictures… not too bad considering I really didn't know what i was doing! I hope Baby K grows to love them too!
So sleeping has continued to become quite the task for me! I used to love going to bed, but now I just can't get a good night sleep because I am constantly thinking about the fact that I need to try to not roll onto my back during the night (which is how I usually slept pre-pregnancy) and to try to stay on my left side. (which is probably the least comfortable way for me to sleep!) I especially hate sleeping on my left side because then I am facing away from the hubby, and I enjoy snuggling with him! (i know… sappy, right?) I keep trying different pillow to try to keep my from rolling over, but they don't seem to help much. To be honest, the most comfortable play for me to sleep is on the couch because there is a "built-in" full body pillow, but I don't want to spend all my nights on the couch away from the hubby. I guess we will see what we can come up with to make sleeping a little more enjoyable for me over the next 9 weeks! Just one SMALL hurdle to get through in order to meet our precious baby girl!
On a slightly different note, I am so excited for this saturday! It is my first baby shower! Since I have only been to one other baby shower ever (which is hard for me to believe) I don't know exactly what to expect, and of course my adorable mother won't let me help with anything! BUT, that is part of the excitement! I can't wait to see everyone and spend an afternoon with family and friends!
Well, I've gotta get back to doing some work before my next doctor's appointment this afternoon!
Have a Terrific Tuesday everyone!
