CAN NOT SLEEP... AND BEING THANKFUL

With the count down of the following:

Thanksgiving on Thursday
Semester ending
Family coming in town
Baby coming... in just a matter of weeks
Derek will get a break for two weeks hooray for the Holidays
Christmas gifts mostly for my husband but, others as well


I just can't seem to sleep. My mind races and never seems to stop. I have been having a series of two nights of good rest after a long night of very little to no rest. So, the question is, is it worth have the bad nights rest to get not only 1 but 2 good nights rest. Yes, infact most of the time these days I think so, I just hope it ends soon and that this will not be a common and normal occurrence after our Baby Boy arrives. Of course the mere fact that I can not get comfortable at night does not help but, most of all I can not stop my brain from thinking. It races from one event to the other... like, oh my goodness I need to go shopping for our little guy and get the last bit of important items that he needs, or my goodness I still need to finish this paper and this test and this blah blah blah blah blah to finish the semester, or okay what else can I do to prepare not only for baby in my home but, for my Sister and her family to stay with us for 3 weeks, do I have everything I need?, ahhhhhh the list goes on and on and on. I just feel like there is SOOOOOOOOOO much to do and so little time. Now don't get me wrong, every bit of it is exciting but, all a bit overwhelming and way too close together. I have yet to even come close to finishing my Christmas Shopping for my husband. I think I need a maid... Anyone up for a good deed this Christmas? ;)

Well, anyway I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving week! Truly I have so much to be grateful for and right now in my life I couldn't be more grateful for my wonderful Husband. What a patient, loving, passionate, kind, funny, spiritual man. Its amazing how you can like and love someone so much and even more each day! With the crazy year that we've had I am grateful that he has been by my side he step of the way. I am so excited to see this man in action as a Father. I am looking forward to the rest of our lives together as parents and what new trials and joys that it will bring to our Marriage.

I would LOVE to come help you out. I would be at your beck and call and do whatever you needed (except for your school work...don't think you want me helping with that...at least if a good grade is your goal). I'm sad that I am not close enough to do anything about that though. Just hang in there...the wait is almost over. Love ya!

I too wish I was a couple hundred miles closer! I am so sad that I do not get to be there to help you out! How fun to have your sister coming soon, I am sure whichever sister it is, she will crack the whip and get it all done!
