Today Ruby slept in until after 9. It was the cutest thing, I peeked my head in her room and she was singing to herself. I wish I had a video camera. Then when she noticed me, she said "Good morning, mommy. The sun woke me up today" with a big grin. Then she wanted hugs. Many mornings she wakes up yelling "Moooooooooom! I want water! or "Mooooooooommmmmmmy, I peed in my pants!" - so this was a wonderful start to our day. We read a few books and I didn't want it to end. It made me a little misty because I know our days as just the two of us hanging out are numbered. Ok, there I go again. Teary.
Why does my body insist that I am up and ready to go when she is snoring away? I for the life of me cannot sleep in. Not that I really have the option. I need to get my boys up by 6 and send them off around 7... then if she's sleeping I have the option to go back to bed for a few but I guess maybe my body is preparing me for baby and thinking I should be awake. Thanks a lot, mother nature/hormones, whatever it is. The last two nights I did sleep, I think. I don't remember getting up to pee.
Today and yesterday I have been nauseus beyond belief and a little achy. It doesn't feel like a flu or anything... I was reading that it could be my body's way of preparing for baby also. Great. I need a couple of weeks yet, so this preparation could hold off for a bit.
Baby's room update: There really isn't one, except in my mind. I decided this morning (much to my husband's delight, haha!) that I might want to start on it. I'd previously said that I would probably hold off. I've got a teeny bit of inspiration, so I might go with it. There are only 9,624 other things that really should be done around this house.
Baby's name: Still up for discussion.
Baby's position: He is head down, ready to head out. Right now he has hiccups for the third time today. It's 1030 am. Oy, it has to be my least favorite thing about baby movements. I would rather have him rack my ribs and beat up my insides. Which he does plenty of.
We still need to get a carseat. I recently heard that a seat is only good for six years and then the plastic starts to "break down". Just another way to get you to buy more crap. The infant seat so far is the only thing we may have to buy. We don't have the money for it but it could be worse, we could need more crap. We are doing a minimal crap theme this time around. Baby gear is nice, but thinking back to how much gear I have had in the past and how much actually got used, due to things like remembering we had them, liking them, baby's preference... much of it was wasted money. Min.I.mize.
I think the breaking down is just a way to get you to buy more, since plastic doesn't decompose or anything. Same with the crib mattresses.
