Life is great

Dear Bean:
I had a really great weekend! Saturday daddy went to a bachelor party (and was super responsible and didn't get drunk so he could take me to the hossy if you decided to come...which obviously you didn't) But while he was gone I went out shopping with a friend and picked up the last of the things I needed for you. More crib sheets and the breast pump. I also picked up myself a pair of super comfy capris. I can wear them now and after you arrive. Then we went out for a late lunch/early dinner. Then I went and bought a yoga ball and a nice lamp and shade for your dresser. I bounced on that ball for about an hour Saturday night. It got me contracting throughout the night and I could hardly sleep. But nothing painful or anything. Then yesterday my nesting kicked into full gear! I got right up and went to the grocery store to get some stuff. Then once I got home I made monkey bread, did more laundry (at this point I'm just doing super small loads which annoys me, but I have the need to feel productive so if there's dirty laundry I wash it!), I had daddy take apart your bassinet and washed that, got on a chair and cleaned the ceiling fan, dusted the end tables and TV stand, washed the walls by the dog bowls (they're very messy when they eat and drink), swept and vacuumed all the floors, then I boiled some eggs for egg salad for me, daddy and for macaroni salad for tonights dinner, also marinated chicken for tonights dinner, made spaghetti for last night, cut up some cheese for daddy to have on his bagels for breakfast this week and I got my lunch bag mostly packed for today. Then after we had dinner, we went for a mile walk with the dogs and then came home and I watered all the plants and trees in the yard (let me tell you what, that 2 gallon watering can gets pretty heavy after walking all over the yard with it) Finally daddy told me I needed to shower since it was 9pm and I hadn't done that yet for the day. After my shower I still had energy so I bounced on my ball some more. I figured I'd sleep really well since I was so busy all day and didn't sleep well the night before, but no. I was up all the time. Had to pee, had contractions, was too hot, just couldn't sleep for no reason- it was annoying. So I was up bright and early when dad got up at 6. Stripped the bed down and got the sheets in the washer so we will have nice fresh sheets to sleep in tonight- I'm hoping that because I washed the sheets today my water will break all over them tonight. Again, doubt it, but I know you'll make an "inconvenient" debut!
Daddy and I are going to walk a mile every night after dinner from now on. If it doesn't help being on labor then at least it'll help me get into a little better shape before labor and get me back into the walking mood for after you come! I've always liked to walk, but then it was so super humid the past few months I was totally out of the notion to even move. And when it did cool down at night we were eating dinner! But now I'm more organized and on top of things and we'll be eating when I get home and then we can take our walk around 7:40ish.
So I'm looking forward to my drs appointment this Friday. I'm not sure why, I guess I always look forward to them. I even think this week will go by fast! I know today has seemed to already have flown by for me. And I haven't even been busy! Lets hope the rest of the week goes smoothly and I don't have any crazy meltdowns like I did last week. Ooooh and Saturday is my birthday!! Finally a birthday that falls on a Saturday when I'm legal to drink...and I can't. Oh well. I love you way more than any alcoholic beverage!
I love you Bean. I can't wait to meet you.
Love,
Mommy
