Stick a fork in me...

I am done, done, DONE!  I am tired of getting up every two hours or more all night long.  I either have to potty or I have to heave my body into some other position so it might not hurt so much... or some combination of both.  I am perpetually exhausted.  And, for the lame person who suggested that this is "just preparation for the lack of sleep when the baby arrives"... you have NO idea what you are talking about.  NOTHING prepares you for that.  And, besides... at that point, MY body will feel much better even if I DO have to get up a lot with the new little one.  ;-)

In case you can't tell... I'm READY for this littel guy to be born.  I am still rejoicing at every day that he stays put until the 1st.  But, I will rejoice even louder if he does, in fact, come ON the 1st!

Christmas was great.  It was a quiet day spent next door at my parents' house with the children.  I sat around and knit all day and rested.  The only real struggle we've got going on right now is that the girls are both struggling with head/sinus colds.  Poor Tabitha is just miserable with a constantly stuffy head.  If she hasn't cleared up a bit tomorrow, I'm going to have to take her to the pediatrician to get seen.  I'm pretty sure that she has a nasty sinus infection.  I'm just praying that it stays out of her ears.

I have my OB appointment bright and early tomorrow morning and look forward to it being the last one until after this little guy's arrival.  I'm still praying that my blood pressure stays down for the next week.

Well, time to run.  I'm still knitting this shawl for my MIL and plan to finish it up today so that she can take it home with her tomorrow.  I'll be sure to take photos of it before it leaves.  Then, it's time to knit a hat or two for the baby and some longies for the littles.  Of course, that assumes I'll have time to knit right after the baby is born... or that I'll feel up to it.  ;-)~

Hi Tiffani,
I know you are ready to be done. The last few weeks of pregnancy are so hard. You will walk out of the hospital 15 pounds lighter! You will be able to see your feet!

For myself, Malia passed her cold on to me and I've been pretty miserable since Monday afternoon. I blame my trip to Walmart for making me sick. Halfway through my shopping, I had this terrible feeling. Sure enough, after an incubation period of a day or two, I started feeling bad.

I popped some Airborne tablets and hoped that my cold would miss attacking me, but it was simply not to be. Stuffy nose, cough, night waking - I've got it all. Walking to the end of the driveway tires me out. I huff and puff. Not a good sign.

It's a bummer, too, because it is such a nice day outside. My Mom took Malia for a walk around the front yard. I was happy for her, but I wanted it to be me out there instead.

See you soon! Probably not tomorrow since I am sick but soon... I know you give birth no later than 7 days from today so I'd better hurry =)

Love,
Janelle
