Note to self.....

5 pieces of pepperoni, black olive, artichoke pizza 2 hours before bed.... so not a good idea. Here I am at 3:18 am writing on my blog. Where would I rather be? In bed... asleep preferably! The problem is that when I am horizontal, ugh, heartburn like crazy. I just need a good burp! I have been awake for about 30 minutes now. Sitting up is definitely helping. Hoping I will feel better enough to go back to bed very soon!

Day 2 of maternity leave yesterday was really nice! Jamie snuck out of the room when the alarm went off so I slept in until 7. I lounged around until the loaner changing table came, which looks great by the way. Certainly not as wonderful as the dresser and hutch will look but it will do. I then had my 38 week NST and Dr appt which went very well. I have asked my doctor not to do any internals because I don't want to know my progress. It seems to me that knowing your progress doesn't do any good. You can be 2 cm dilated for weeks. I have heard people talk about "Oh no, I'm not making any progress, etc" I would rather not know. She is insisting on doing an internal at my next appointment though and I am ok with that.

Side note - Orangie loves that I am awake. She is pacing the top of the desk purring so loud! Trying very hard to get me to pet her and stop typing. What is she going to think when I am awake at 3am but have a baby in my arms?

Later in the afternoon, my friends Stacie and LaRee came over with their daughters Ella (11 months) and Londyn (5 months). It was so nice to hang out and chat and see the babies and how much (how fast!!!!!) they are growing. Little Twiggy is going to have such great friends to play with! Lucky girl. :) It was also interesting for me to see how non-child friendly our house is!! Ella is crawling and loved all the stuff she could get into. One of the cutest things though was when we went into the nursery (so I could show it off) and I turned on the light. Ella looked up and pointed and said "IGHT!!! IGHT!!! IGHT!!!" She doesn't quite have the "L" figured out but it was absolutely adorable. We kept praising her so she was saying it over and over. Very proud of herself!!!

Looking forward to tomorrow (well today I guess) I am going to a friends house that cloth diapers to see her setup and practice on her daughter. Ia m also meeting up with my cousin in the evening to go to the Pasadena Showcase House. I go pretty much every year and love it! We'll see how I do this year with the lines and stairs etc!

Orangie has settled down into her new favorite spot on the glider. She loves it there but I don't love all the fur she leaves behind! Oh well, what can you do?

BTW - Did you notice there are only 10 (YES TEN!!!) days until my due date??? Crazy!!!!
