I can't sleep, and everyone knows I am not a morning person. This is an unusual experience for me, its not even that I am that uncomfortable I just can't go to sleep. I was up at 4am this morning and in the office by 7:30am! Fay is already having a huge effect on our lives...but the best part is that Dave and I never have time together in the mornings. We are always rushing out the door, with a coke and breakfast bar, barely able to kiss goodbye. This morning was different, his alarm went off at 6, he fed Harper and instead of crawling back in bed for another hour or so of sleep, I turned on the light brushed my teeth and waited for his return to the covers. We had a whole hour and half this morning to hang out with each other. It was really really nice...we talked and laughed and it was the best start to my week.
Maybe being a morning person after Fay arrives will be good for us :) Because snuggle time under the covers, laughing and feeling her move is the kind of stuff life is made of.
This weekend was fun...Anna is in town and we went swimming at Laura and Jason's house yesterday. Annie (9 months) came over with her mom Ellen and she had on the cutest bikini! Watching her splash, laugh, and smile made Fay seem even more real. I realized that will be us this time next year and it makes me crazy happy to think about.
A few other things have started to occur to me. I realized that I better learn how to do hair. I can't french braid, I can't do anything, and Fay is going to expect to look good. At least my mom is really good at hair, and she can hopefully teach me how to fix it, although she may not have hair for a long time, because I was bald for the first year. But my mom is really good at a lot of mom things, that I hope I can learn to do, or otherwise grandmother will have to help with every arts in crafts project and cook her dinner!
I am 24 weeks today. 16 more to go :)
