Changes in Kennedy's Sleep Cycle

I should have known that I would jinx myself as soon as I posted something about getting so much sleep! I am paying for it now. It seems she was moving around all night and dancing on my bladder. I'm so tired today.

On a brighter note, three friends had babies this weekend. All healthy and all beautiful.

We're next!!!

Maternity Slideshow

I love it. I plan on downloading and burning it to a CD so we can put in her memory box. Melanie did a fab job.

Turning 26

I turned the big 26 yesterday. 7/11 free Slurpees for everyone on my birthday. Nice little gift to the world.

I had a great weekend. Baby shower was perfect (will post about that when I have some photos). Great gift from the husband and my dad and sister took me to dinner. I also got an assortment of gift cards: Express, Massage Envy, Hooters, Bath and Body Works and Visa. Plan on a small shopping spree when I lose the baby weight!

I spent most of the day washing Kennedy's new goodies. Clothes, blankets, sheets, burp clothes, etc. Strange feeling, I now have to wash my kids laundry!!! I am turning into a mommy. I can't wait to watch all her milestones from this first year until she has her first little monkey. What a great honor. Life changes so fast and I believe in a few weeks I am going to wish I had a pause button.

Yummy dinner and horrible shopping!

I had a great night last night...for one no studying! :) The other thing that made it so great was the food....

I went to Grimaldi's Pizza at Watters Creek and split a yummy pizza with Erin and Eme. Funny how one meal and make your whole day. To top it off I had some yummy Paciugo, and this might seem like a strange pregnant flavor but it was the best. Sea Salt and Caramel - wow I couldn't get enough. Best meal of the week- food is really important when you are pregnant. ;)

We also ran around trying to find something to wear to my baby shower this weekend. No luck- I hate shopping. I can't wait to be back into normal clothes that don't look like PJ's. One plus about shopping was that Sephoria gave me a pre-bday gift - gotta love freebies. Free eyeliner, eyeshawdow and mascara.

Overall great night- but most importantly great FOOD.

Big Exam

I passed....

I am thrilled with excitement. The Texes 161 exam (k-12 special ed). I have been studying for the last few months and it all paid off. Passed, can apply for new jobs and I can focus on Baby K from here on out!

I am on cloud 9.

4th of July

I love July. The 4th, fireworks, my birthday, the Texas heat, watermelon, BBQs and concerts! I am really looking forward to next years 4th. I will have an 11 month old baby girl- she might even by walking or saying Dada. So many things to look forward to with this new chapter opening up right before my eyes.

I hope to relax some this holiday and maybe sleep in until noon one day! :) I do have my special ed exam tomorrow and I hope/think I will do well or at least pass. Fingers crossed.

Pregnancy Sleep!

I love sleep! I can sleep hours upon hours, my husband and I are both big sleepers. If we never had to hear the sound of an alarm clock that would be our haven (our safe place). That said, I have always been an extremely light sleeper. I am the first to wake up when the dogs start moving around, someone opens the bedroom door and my eyes open wide. I can't ignore the urge to get up and go to the bathroom- until now!

Strange I know. Most people tell me how they can't sleep their whole last trimester. Can't get comfortable, weird dreams, having to pee every hour. Not me!!!!! This is the best and deepest sleep I have ever been in. Almost like a pass out drunk sleep. I couldn't be happier; I also hope I didn't just ruin this perfect sleep by jinxing myself. (Knocking on wood) I hope this continues until the day she arrives. Thank you sleep gods for this little blessing... :)
