Getting Ready for Baby

It's funny how your body prepares you for what's coming when you are pregnant. If you note the time it is roughly 3:45 a.m. and I cannot sleep. Between heartburn, the big tummy, a racing mind about selling the house (which looks like it will happen in the next month), and Grace's growing pains I didn't have a prayer of sleeping right now. Oh, did I forget to mention allergies? Who's keeping track??? This baby is going to be a night owl I think. And as far as labor goes, I think that I am getting to the point that I am ready and willing to go through it. McCall, I think your pregnancy song to the tune of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music says it all nicely.
Leg cramps and backaches and
Stretch marks and fat feet,
Crave lots of junk food and
Can't get enough sleep,
Heartburn and nausea and
Having to pee...
This is why I want this kid outta me!
Mood swings and headaches,
sore muscles and rib cage
Water retention;
boy do I hate that stage
Accidents happen when I cough, laugh or sneeze..
This is why I want this kid outta me..
When he kicks me
and my pants don't fit
when I'm feeling fat
I think of the baby
I'll hold in my arms,
and then I don't feel so bad!
McCall, I love it! Sums it all up! Alright, two Tums and I am off to bed...

I love it too! That'd make a hilarious number sung at a variety show by all the pregnant ladies in the ward.

LOL! You are so funny! Being pregnant is definitely not for whimps (is that how you spell it?!) Maybe I should forgo having the kids :). LOL. You'll have to keep me updated on where you move too! I have something for the baby to send!

Have you picked a definite name for your baby boy yet? Let me know. My friend does something very cute and I would love to buy his for your new baby whenever he comes!

Hey! You sold your house? I am so excited for you! Did you get what you wanted out of it? I can totally appreciate what you are going through right now! If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know!
