: What I've Been Waking up to Lately...
: k2campbell May 28, 2007, 10:35:58 AM
Firstly, pics from the NASTY little snowstorm we woke up to last Thursday morning. LOVELY! Kate loved it though  ;)

Secondly, Eric and Kate now have "their" own bedroom. With my being extremely pregnant and close to having this baby soon, I haven't been sleeping great and I've been keeping Eric up during the night with my many washroom breaks and position changes in bed. So, he and Kate now sleep in the spare bedroom, and this is what I wake up to almost every morning when I get up... :D ;)

Awwwwwwwwww those are great! The snow ones are crazy! I've never seen or been in snow, but that's a little too much for my taste haha.

It's nice to be able to have your own bed when you are this far into the pg. With my second, I actually moved myself downstairs onto a big (and high) air mattress in preparation for the baby, since we had stairs and I didn't want to have to deal with those right away. It was very nice to have a bed to myself. ;D Unfortunately, nothing wakes hubby, NOTHING.

Awwwwwwww, that's adorable.

Don't worry, the not sleeping during the night is training you for when the baby comes and every little sound makes you sit straight up in bed.  Plus the 2 AM and 5 AM feedings.  Or if you're really lucky, you'll get a baby that is hungry every two hours.

Hahahahah so true! If it isn't getting up to pee a thousand times and trying to get comfy, it's insomnia- at least for me. The lack of sleep doesn't even affect me anymore, it's been far too long without it. :o My babies always eat every 2 hours or LESS. My first was every hour. Of course that means if they nurse for 30 minutes or longer, it was much more often. She definitely broke me into motherhood lol.

OMG those pics are adorable - Eric and Kate look so stinkin' cute! I am guessing the next series will include a baby sleeping in between those two!  :)

p.s. snow in May is looking pretty good to me as things are starting to heat up, here in Atlanta  ;D

Hope you are getting some sleep! When's the due date??
Great pics Kelly!
Thanks  ;) I'm sleeping ok, off and on - it's much better I sleep alone though so poor Eric isn't up with me all night  :D

Due date is June 25th, but I'll be full term (37 weeks) this Friday. I'm supposed to be prepared anytime after that, but I'm not getting my hopes up for an early delivery, that's just cruel! :D

I've heard that I'm being "trained" right now with the lack of sleep, which is fine with me  ;) I usually take an hour nap in the afternoon, helps me out a lot. Might as well take advantage while I can, right?  :D With the schedule this little one is on inside of me, I'm sure I'll be up at least every 2 hours to nurse  ;) The belly-gymnastics sometimes go all night!  :D

Those pics are precious.  I think that they'd be wonderful in the baby book or album to show the baby later what life was like just before he or she was born.  Kate is beautiful and your hubby looks like a great guy cuddled up with the pupper like that!  He looks like great daddy material to me.   ;D

P.S.  I remember well the sleeping alone at the end of pregnancy thing.  With our first I was downstairs in the guest room (stairs were a no-no due to pre-term labor) in a small bed.  Hubby slept on an air mattress on the floor beside me & Cara (pyr) slept on the floor beside him.  By the third pg I was sleeping in the recliner (heartburn), hubby was on the sofa, and Cara was on the floor between us.  So your pics bring back fond memories for me, too.  ;D

That is a great suggestion and your comments on both Kate and Eric are VERY sweet, I will be sure to pass them on!  ;)
