35 w 6 d

I am going to try and post every other day from now on, if not daily, simply to keep a record of my last month of pregnancy for me, Greg and the kids. Sorry if this bores you to death... but I want a record of it all from here on out.

I took Jana's advice and took Tylenol PM last night. It seemed to have worked. I was up as usual to pee a few times but feel as if my sleep time was less restless and deeper. I'm trying to have less computer time, because it just sucks me in and I'd sit here for hours wasting my time, so last night I turned it off early and laid in bed with a book. It was nice and relaxing. Baby must have also known I was so relaxed because I've never ever seen my tummy move so much. I wish Greg would have been home to see/feel it. :( As usual I was woken up when Greg got home from work. We usually say good morning and talk a bit. Then he's out and I can't get back to sleep because he's immediately snoring. So I move out to the couch for the last hour or so before Ellie is up.

Ellie and I had a few errands to run this morning. After those we stopped by my old job and said hi to a few of the ladies. It is always nice to see them (a few of them anyway). Then we stopped by my parents house to see my dad and Katie. They have been painting my parents house and Ellie has been dying to help! So I made her wear play clothes today and she helped paint the siding. I forgot my camera, so no pics. :( We then had lunch with dad and Katie and headed home for quiet time.

I had a jewelry order come in when I got home so I went thru and processed that. Then it was time for my quiet time. I actually took the time for myself, when there was plenty of dishes, plenty of laundry, plenty of picking up and plenty of daytime tv on, to sit in bed and read... in peace and quiet... eventually falling asleep. It was wonderful! I hope to do it as often as possible these next few weeks.

Ellie was up at 4:15 (yes she takes awesome naps still AND goes to bed by 7:30... love it!) so we hung out with Greg a bit then headed upstairs to organize her closet and get the guest room ready for grandma melly who will be visiting very soon with baby coming. Didn't get quite as far as I'd hoped... just finished Ellie's closet around 6:30 and we were hungry so we came down for dinner. Mom of the year award goes to me... I fed Ellie grapes, toast and milk for dinner. Yup. Please no comments on that. It happened and it's not gonna be the last time.

Tomorrow I hope to finish the guest room, do a bit of laundry and start cleaning up the dining room which is covered with non-selling garage sale items (mostly baby girl things) that we are planning to take the the Children's Exchange and makes some bucks on.

Ellie's in bed and I'm going to go relax and read. Night.

Glad you are finding some time to relax before the new baby comes.

Um, yeah, I fed my Ellie strawberries, carrots, and wheat/peanut butter crackers for dinner. Whatever works, right?
