One More Sleep!!

Only one more sleep until Jamie is done work for the week and our weekend can officially begin. I could not be more thankful! lol

Actually, we had a pretty good night last night. Addy fell asleep kind of late but that had to do with getting home past our usual supper time because of my doctor's appointment. She had a bit of a difficult time falling asleep, but once she did she stayed sleeping until close to 11:00pm. Which doesn't seem like much, but after the last couple of nights, that in itself was huge. So when she woke up she had a bottle and went right back to sleep until just before 8:00am! If it weren't for the baby living on my bladder, I would have gotten a full night's sleep. lol

She seems to be feeling much better today, so I am really happy about that. Her cough was pretty yucky this morning still, but I haven't heard her coughing since before her morning nap, so I think she is on the road to recovery. And I feel awesome because I got to get some good sleep last night. I was alot later falling asleep that I wanted to be, but that was because one of my favorite movies was on tv and once I started watching it I couldn't turn it off.

So my appointment went good yesterday. Everything still looks great with the baby and with my blood pressure. I go back in 2 weeks, and at that time I should have an ultrasound scheduled for between 4-6 weeks from now. He told me that if we're going to attempt a VBAC that he needs to be sure that the baby is in the right position and isn't too big and that my placenta is out of the way. So it will be nice to get to "see" the baby again, but I'm nervous because there will be alot riding on what we find out that day. Plus, I am so dead against finding out the sex of the baby and Jamie really wants to. I keep thinking it'll be just my luck that those little legs will be spread wiiiiiiiide open and there will be no secrets. But my fingers are crossed that by that time (I'll be somewhere between 35 and 37 weeks) it will be too squishy in there to see any little bits. And I am going to hold my ground and not let Jamie find out. He is convinced he could keep it secret, but he is such a horrible secret keeper and I know he would tell other people and it would just end up next to impossible for someone to not slip up, even if it wasn't him.

Actually, I think it's kind of funny that this time I feel so strongly against finding out. With Addy, I was back and forth for awhile, but once we were there I just had to know, and I can't imagine how I would have gotten through the pregnancy and the bazillions of biophysical profiles (ultrasounds to check on the baby and fluid for those who don't know what that is) and not have found out. Of course, the whole time I was expecting a boy, but that's beside the point. There was no mystery behind it. And this time, I am so excited to not find out until he or she comes out into the world. I can't wait to have that special surprise. And I'm not tempted at all to find out beforehand.

I finally got my Christmas cards done today. All but one are ready for the mail, and that one is just waiting on being addressed. That's actually alot more of a stress reliever than I thought. I'm hoping that while Addy has her afternoon nap today I can get downstairs and get the rest of the gifts wrapped, and then other than delivering them everything will be done. But if not today, it'll get done tomorrow afternoon. And maybe once all that is done, I will feel less anti-Christmas and more excited for the day.
