Little joys...
I have to admit, excitement comes with watching Stewart buy cds. It's always a treat to see him so excited. Last night, he told me about these two cds he found as he was checking out CD Plus.com yesterday afternoon. When I asked him what he wanted to do for the evening, he said he didn't care but if we could go buy one of the cds, he'd really like that. I just laughed at him. Then, about 8:45, he mentioned it again...I was like, "Good grief, just go buy it already!" He jumped up like a 4 year old and said, "Really??!!!???" It's not that he needs my permission, but I think he wanted my blessing. I laughed so hard. He just ran around the house grabbing his jacket and quickly calling the store to make sure they were open until 9...and that he'd be right there. Too funny! Then today, I get an email thanking me for letting him buy the cd. Can you tell who keeps track of the finances in our home??? I'll have to make sure he knows he's allowed to buy stuff. :D
We're in the double digits! I can't believe the ticker today says 96 days! I know that's still 3 months, but I'm almost to the third trimester! Apparently that's when things start to get uncomfortable. Hmmm...I guess these last months were supposed to be bliss then?? I didn't get the memo. Well actually, it hasn't been that bad, but I haven't been sleeping well which makes everything else in life more difficult to handle. I have to pee and then I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in so I toss and turn. I suppose I wouldn't notice it so much except that before pregnancy, I was one of those 'hit the pillow and completely gone until the alarm clock' sleepers so this is very different! I know, I know...it's preparation for when the baby comes! I'm excited to take care of the baby...even knowing that it will mean sleepless nights! I keep thinking (and maybe this is naive!) that once the baby is here, I can also have a nap when baby naps....which I think will help. Anyway...enough blabbing about that!
My tummy is growing bigger and Shantel thinks I'm cute so I'm happy about that! Baby sometimes kicks up a storm and the next time it's all quiet in there. Those times freak me out, but then I just picture baby sleeping peacefully. We're still talking about names. We have names for both boys and girls that we like, but we're always coming up with new ideas to see if we like them better. So far, we're still pretty hung up on the originals we chose. We still have lots of times to change our minds though! Naming a new person is such a tricky job. You want something that you'll personally like, but also that others will like...and then hopefully the kid will like it, too! So much pressure! I've officially axed Loretta and Virginia from the options. No, they were never official options, but Stewy seems to think they are beautiful names. We don't always agree, that Stewy and I! So, no offense to you Lorettas and Virginia's out there, but I'm thinking those names had their moments in a different era!
I'm also joyful about Christmas! I love celebrating Christ's coming to earth and I love the opportunity that it brings to have family get together. All of Stewy's family is planning to congregate in Regina and I'm really looking forward to experiencing that! I'm also very excited to spend a few days with my whole family together. It's always such a treat...and this year, my mom's extended family is getting together twice, so that's even better! Just gotta get some shopping done now!
Well, this has been a little rambling session....nothing deep here! Thanks for stopping by!
