It is Friday (THANK GOD) and I am really, really trying to think more positively today. That means no boo-hoo post about how bad bedtime and nighttime went (although I could crank another one out today). Today it is just the good things!
*We figured out that Vanessa's crib mattress could be lowered another two whole notches, which hopefully means no more daredevil climbing antics from our tiny little gymnast.
*When Natalie woke up this morning Vanessa and I went in to greet her and we all climbed under the blankets and cuddled and laughed.
*Little BabyGirlThree is movin' and kickin' in there. The flutters of last month have turned into full fledged beat downs inside my uterus. I woke up early this morning because I do believe she was recreating Shawn Johnson's floor routine in there. This is my favorite thing about pregnancy. I just feel so connected with the baby, just her and I know what's going on in there!
*My wonderful (and brave) Mom is taking the girls to spend the night tonight. While I will worry the entire time about how they are treating her and how bedtime will go, I will TRY to relax and enjoy a night with just my hubby and I. I'm not sure if we are doing anything special or just hanging out here at home. I don't even care at this point. I just think we need some "us" time.
*Still loving the Olympics! It makes the nights when Vanessa stays up till forever a lot more bearable. At least there is something good to watch! I loved gymnastics last night...way to go USA!
*My Mom just called and her doctor's appointment went GREAT!! There was a tiny bit of concern, but it all came out fine and she is in good health!
So there you have it. My own little ray of sunshine all over your computer screen. And you know, it made me feel a little better. It is hard to be unhappy when you think of all the good things going on in your life. It all could be so much worse! Thanks for hanging in there with me. I have no doubt next week is going to be a better one. Thank you all for your advice and kind words. You have no idea what it means to me to have such great friends and family. I am one lucky girl....I just need to remember that when I don't feel all that lucky.
Now, off to the doctor's to take my glucose test!
