Sleep... or lack of....

So I have been up since 3:45am. Well, at least that's when I looked at the clock. I have probably been up since before then. I just can't get the right amount of sleep while I am pregnant. My body is tired but my mind is racing. I can only sleep in two positions... on my right side or on my left. That's not usually the way I sleep. I switch from my stomach to my back to my side and so on. Now that I am pregnant this is no longer an option. If I am not waking up every hour to pee then I am waking up to switch sides because my hips are aching! I feel like an old woman. I still have another 15 uncomfortable weeks to go. I shouldn't really complain, according to some of friends my belly is actually small for being 25 weeks pregnant. So I am grateful. It's just hard to get the sleep I need lately. I guess this is just preparing me for when Will arrives and I won't be getting any sleep at all.

The work has begun...




The work has begun on Will's room and it seems to be moving quickly. I am so excited we should be able to paint in the next week! These are the "before" pics... well a little bit of work has been done in these pics but it's pretty rough. You'll notice the black wall. You can thank the previous owner's for wallpapering over this wall instead of priming and painting it! Keep in mind this was the only wall in the room that was wallpapered! Whoever "finished" this room off did a really poor job. Sad... because we have to take care of what they didn't!

Update on Will...


I pretty much feel Will moving all the time now. It's a pretty weird experience. Not in a bad way, it's just a little strange that there is a little person inside me moving around. My belly is starting to grow. I notice it more everyday. I would say that is the hardest part. Watching it get bigger and bigger is a little uncomfortable. I'm only 24 weeks so I still have another 16 weeks to get even bigger!

We have fully cleaned out Will's new room. It's all ready to start work on. We had someone out to look at replacing the windows and we are having someone else out to look at the ceiling/sheetrock that needs to be done. Once those tasks are complete it will be easy. We'll just have to paint, lay the carpet, put in the closet organizer and then the fun part, DECORATE! I mostly just want to get to the fun part. I also can't wait to get the crib set-up. I've been dying to do that. I think we have decided on paint colors. So I feel like we're making progress. As soon as his room is done I will feel a lot better!
