I never slept 8 hours a night before. My usual sleep schedule was 11:30 (after the 11pm news) ~ 6:30. Now, my alarm still goes off at 6:00 but it would take a Tsunami to get me up by 6:30. I cannot for the life of me get out of bed until the clock shows 7:45 now. That’s over 8 hours of sleep now. And to make it worse – I’m still tired and sleepy by 2:00pm in my cubicle. Sometimes I wish my cubicle had a door so I can just shut the door lean back in my comfy chair and knock out for a power nap. Not sure if I’ve mentioned this before but our office actually has a “relaxation/nap” room with massage chairs and magazines, dimmed lighting, the whole shebang. But I’m so pooped by the time I realize I’m sleepy that I can’t even get out of my chair to go take a nap in this room. In fact, the only thing that keeps me awake in the afternoon is the lil one squirming and kicking around in my belly. He’s a lifesaver. He wants to make sure mommy doesn’t get caught w/her head bobbled back and drooling.
So yes. Third tri is kicking my butt. I am exhausted. I feel heavy. I am anxious. I am hot. Ap the other day said he can feel the heat of my body just by putting his hand like 5 inches away from me. But he’s a prince. Still manages to pull me up/off the couch cuz I can’t get up/off of it myself unless I roll off, although I’m sure he’d like to use mittens to do so. Ap freezes in the middle of the night cuz I have the ac on full blast at like 70 degrees otherwise I can’t sleep. This explains why I have this head cold and sore throat but I’d rather fight thru the cold than sweat myself to sleep only to wake up every hour because i’m so hot. Is this what menopause will be like too? Eeek!
The shower was 2 Saturdays ago. I have not figured out how to use our new dslr to upload pics yet so no pictures to share yet. Although, there really aren’t much to share because someone, don’t know who, deleted almost all the pictures. I’m not even going to get into this story. I’ve cried hysterically 3 days straight already so I’m not even going to go there again. Whoever committed the crime is darn lucky though. I was telling my friends at work that what makes me most upset is not the lost pictures but the fact that whoever did it didn’t have the decency or balls to fess up about it. my friends looked at me like “are you kidding?” and said “well hello! Who WOULD fess up to you especially while you’re preggo? They don’t want to die!”. Although we only have a couple of photos that were salvaged from the cruel annihilation (really, I’m so over it!), the shower was so fun and amazing. Ap and his friend catered the entire menu. sis/sil did an amazing job putting the games, decoration together. Our parents had a ton of fun hanging out together in their own corner. All the kids loved the rice krispy favors and the little water fountain. And so many people walked away with awesome prizes and hours of laughter. And no ‘park’ family event is complete without playing bingo! I just can’t wait to go on my leave next month to organize all the gifts and bags of clothes for the lucky guy. He won’t have a nursery until he’s about 4 mos and I feel so guilty about it, but we’re doing what’s practical and sensible so I’m sure he’ll understand. And really – he’ll be 1~3mos old – will he even remember that his mom&dad didn’t bring him home to a nursery?
I met the pediatrician last night for a consult. I loved her. She’s a strong woman. Gotta love that. She kinda reminded me of meredith’s mom on grey’s anatomy. Not in that bitchy way but just how she talked about going through med school back in the days w/men who always had the upper hand which is one of the reasons why she went into pediatrics. She saw innocence in children that adults don’t have. They didn’t judge her. And she loves that she sees youth and beauty every day she said. The parents are young and the kids are beautiful.
Tomorrow is our birth class. We opted for the full day class instead of 4 weekday evening classes for 4 weeks. I just hope I don’t fall asleep by the 4th hour tomorrow. I feel like I’ve read and heard just about everything I can on birth and labor but I’m sure I’m in for a surprise tomorrow. I just hope whatever they feed us for lunch is not some nasty sandwich or pizza. I wouldn’t mind if they gave us Hoag’s food cuz I heard how great it tastes. But still it’s hospital food…how good can it possibly be? I’m for sure taking my own snacks/food to take for labor/recovery in case Hoag’s food just doesn’t cut it for me and I don’t want ap running out every 2 hours for mcdonalds.
