Well, it’s 3:30 in the morning and I am wide awake. I woke up about 2:30am to go to he bathroom for the 2nd time since going to bed and my nose started running. I blew it in the bathroom and went back to bed, about 15 minutes later it was running again. I blew my nose in bed this time which rattled your father from sleep a bit (neither of us can blow our nose without reaching at least a 7.5 on the decibel scale!) so when I had to blow my nose a third time I decided to head for the living room.

So, here I am am, at 3:30 in the morning parked in the reclining couch with a box of kleenex and a million things running through my mind. I am exhausted, but just can’t seem to fall back asleep….I am sure I’ll pay the price for that tomorrow. I have a feeling the number of sleepless nights I spend on the couch may become more common as we go along.

Well, we are 27 weeks along as of Friday. Just a few more days and we’ll be in our 3rd trimester! It’s so hard to believe! Our neighbors Noah & Cheryl, and our friends Jeremy & Stacey should be finding out the sex of their babies this week. I am so anxious to know what they are having. Especially Noah and Cheryl…will you have a playmate or a boyfriend living 2 doors down!? 🙂

We went to dinner with our friends Phil & Brandon last night. They are the ones that adopted an adorable baby girl from Russia, Alina. She’s almost 2 now so they were kind enough to give us a bag full of the clothes she can no longer wear…..some really cute stuff! As your father and I were going through the bag, we just kept trying to imagine how it was possible that clothing could be so dainty…and that the person wearing was going to be so small…and most of this stuff was 18 months! We are really in awe when we hold up the newborn clothing.

We already have plans to put you in swimming lessons as soon as possible. They say you can start as early as six months! That should work out well since you’ll be about 1 year old by the start of next swim season.

Well, I should probably try to get some sleep so I am not just miserable to be around tomorrow. I’ll be thinking of you…always.
