Cheesy Grateful Post - Blame it on the Hormones


My body was awake at 5:15am the other morning. Weird, huh? So I got up and turned on the Christmas lights inside and out, watched it snow and snow and snow, drank hot chocolate, wrapped a few more presents, and enjoyed the serenity of the morning by myself. As I draw near the end of this eternity of a pregnancy, I guess I am actually grateful for a few of things.

  1. Jetted bath tubs. With bubbles.

  2. Naps.

  3. Ammon. I timed this pregnancy perfectly to ruin Ammon's entire summer off (when I was the sickest) and hopefully also his entire winter break (if this kid ever comes). He's given hundreds of backrubs, been the sounding board for many complaints and tears, has long since conceded his half of the bed to me, and managed to maintain his usual sense of humor.

  4. India. This child didn't complain when all I'd feed her was block cheese and otter pops for 4 months straight. She provided comic relief by copying me throw up as I was throwing up. Even though I've been a mean, mean mommy, she still runs to give me a hug and kiss when I come home from work.

  5. Hannah. I'm lucky to have an awesome sister-in-law live so close and take such good care of me and India.

  6. Rocking neighbors and friends.

3 Things I Am Looking Forward To The Most:

  1. First night in hospital. I am sending baby to the nursery and requesting extra sleeping and pain medication.

  2. 32 oz mug you get in the hospital. And I am NOT sharing, so back off Ammon and India.

  3. Oh yeah, the baby.
PS:
I don't know if it just my computer/internet, but the baby in the widget keeps spazzing out. Kind of creepy.

One week to go yippy. Ya this week has been the longest week of my life but, mine's half way thru. I love to read your blogs about pregnancy I can so relate. I can't wait for the first night in the hospital as well although you had a good idea about requesting more meds. Good Luck with your baby, maybe they will come on the same day, and hopefully thats soon.

Okay I can see the baby freaking out and it's been the cause of great laughing and tears of hysteria! Why is the crazy little umbilical cord unattached???

I think this is the best post yet!
