Laying the smack-down!

Yesterday - at my OB appointment - Little Man was was given the word... Helen (my Nurse Practitioner/midwife) says he has to come early...! ...she's leaving for Ireland on Nov 14Th. You heard that Little Man!! We're ready for you whenever you want to come :)

Sleep - or lack there of...

I really don't remember having so much trouble sleeping when I was pregnant with Abi. I know its common, but ever so frustrating. I'm exhausted, but when I lay down I just can't sleep. Last night I finally fell asleep around 2am. I think I might get more sleep after the baby comes!! So - by all means come early, Little Man!

Reaching for new heights!

This afternoon I was standing at the kitchen sink doing a few dishes with my head in the clouds (as seems to be my usual state recently!) and suddenly realized the kitchen light was turning on, off, on, off, on, off... My little lady just realized that she can reach her first light switch!! And let me tell you - she is VERY pleased! :) My little lady is growing up all too quickly! Gosh, I love her so!

PS... I thought all light switches would be placed at a standard height? Apparently not - there are only a few she can reach right at the moment.

I should also mention that yesterday I cleaned the car - scrubbed every inch - and installed the infant car seat. So glad to have that done! I feel more ready now. This morning I took Abi and we went to MOM's group. I was wondering what Abi would say when she saw the seat in the car. She took one look and said, "Oh, Mamma! Its so cute! That's for my baby brother!!! He's going to talk to me!!" Such a little sweet-heart. She's very excited to have her baby brother! :)
