First of Many

3:50a.m. and I am sitting in front of my nice gas fireplace making lists and browsing the internet. Yes, the first of many sleep interrupted nights. (Well, actually, not the first but the title sounds better that way. I'm making lists and even crossing some things off lists, that seems to help. Rafa wonders "why can't you sleep?" I figure it's the bodies way of getting you ready for what's to come. I've taken the policy in the last two weeks of just getting up, doing something till I'm tired, and then going back to bed. Lying there wondering why I can't sleep really doesn't seem to help. I continue to feel great with 4 days to go before the due date. I was heavy and cranky yesterday but I went to the gym today and that has helped a lot. Rafa has decided that we need a dishwasher, so after the plumbers approval of our space today, we went out and bought one. As a result I have a few more things on my list. (Actually installing the dishwasher we are leaving to the professionals - don't worry - that I know I can't do 39 weeks pregnant) Currently outstanding: make a lamp, build a printer stand, fix wall in kitchen (this is just a little plaster patch, smaller than it sounds), put up hanging shelves. All easy 'one dayers' and 4 days to go... perfect.

I love late gifts! They always come after everyone else has forgotten about giving you gifts and so they are more exciting.
