Things...

I am running on ZERO sleep. Jack for whatever reason decided to get up for the day at 3:30 am. This is after struggling/fighting to go to sleep last night. He rarely, if ever sleeps through the night. He is still in our bed -- I am too afraid of a seizure striking in the middle of the night and him being all alone and not being able to intervene. Most of the time he wakes up happy which is a good thing, but nights like last night he woke up very upset and insisted on getting up. So we did -- at 3:30 this morning Jack and I were watching the news and eating cheese-its for breakfast...we had soy milk too as to not feel too guilty. I was too tired to make anything else! Several hours later Jack asks for his trio of breakfast foods -- "Nana? Cereal? Bacon?" or to sound it out like Jack "NaaaaNaaaa? SheeSheeShall?, BayBay?" He had his meds and then asked for "Bed" or in Jack speak "Bee?" He ends everything with a question and the longer I wait to respond the more you can hear the pleading in his voice. So he went down for a nap and is still sleeping. I, on the other hand, took time to shower and eat and now I want to sleep too -- but it's soon time for Jack to wake up. Today will simply be a tired day. I look at it as practice for the weeks and weeks of sleepless nights once Miss Morgan arrives! Which will be in 27 days if anyone's counting!

I love this picture -- he looks like he's trying to hold up the house. He shouted at me as if to say do we HAVE to take a picture? I can't hold on much longer!

The Mommy Monster!!

A rare and interesting specimen captured on film....



As for me, I am feeling VERY PREGNANT! I can't get comfortable and just when I do, I have to get up to pee. I have terrible indigestion, gas, constipation and the occasional contraction coupled with karate chops from Morgan!! I love every minute of it though and wouldn't trade it for anything. I count every moment as a blessing -- I am now nearly 34 weeks (tomorrow)!!!!!!

Here are some shots of the room -- almost done!!

Jason is doing well -- I often forget to update on daddy...lol! He's working so hard all week long and then does so much around the house that I wonder how he's still standing some days. I promised him one day soon we'll get a break...may be wishful thinking more than a promise but I think he knows that.

    Lucky little Morgan! What a beautiful room for a beautiful little princess! Can't wait to see her sleeping in her crib, all snug and cozy. That's if her big brother Jack lets her sleep. Hopefully she'll be a better sleeper than he!! At least for your sake!! Mommies need sleep too! So do worn out Grammies!!

    Take care of that little one and of course, the handsome Jack Riley!

    Love Grammie

  5. Angela - you look fab! And Morgan's room looks amazing - beautiful and peaceful just lovely.

    Jack is a super hero holding up the house and making sure you are not lonely in the middle of the night. Ellie wakes up at that same time everynight to have a snack with me and make sure my night is getting on ok. ;)

    I hope you can get some rest soon!
