Growing Impatient

For these last few weeks, I have been able to keep my mind off the excitement and impatience of the baby coming by concentrating on Christmas. I have been quite successful at it, actually. But now that the shopping is done, the wrapping of presents is almost completely finished, the baking is done and the decorating is done, I don't have anything to concentrate on except counting down the days. And counting down the days to Christmas isn't nearly as exciting as counting down the days until my due date.

I can't wait to meet this little baby, see if it's a brother or a sister for Addy, to cuddle him/her and see what kind of personality it will have. I know of a few mommas who have either just had babies or are about to, and seeing them is making me so incredibly excited (and impatient, very impatient) for my time to come to have this little one.

I woke up this morning able to breathe and with a very differently shaped belly. I'm pretty sure the baby has dropped already. Seems very early to me for the baby to drop (I'm only in week 30) but I feel so much more comfortable so I'm not going to complain.

Last night Addy was again only up once! She was sleeping by 7:00pm and slept right through until 6:00am. There were a couple of times when I heard her cry out and fuss in her sleep and I thought she might wake up, but she didn't. When she woke up at 6:00am she had her bottle and went right back to sleep until 9:00am so I am a very well rested momma today. Which is good because I was a slacker yesterday and my kitchen is a mess and I'll need my energy to make it look habitable again.

Jamie thinks he might be home tomorrow night. They're moving their equipment to a new site (the one close to home) and they're starting to take everything down tonight. Which means that at some point tomorrow he should be working at the new site and will get to come home after his shift. Yay!
