I woke up this morning at 3:30 and could not get back to sleep until 6am. My anxiety has definitely got the best of now. I just keep hoping that if I can make it until Friday when I am 34 weeks my anxiety will settle down. I woke up with a very strange urge to have everything done at the house. I guess it's my "nesting" instinct kicking in. I literally laid in bed listing everything in my head that I still wanted to get done at the house before the baby got here. Hang the closet doors in the nursery. Hang the shelf in the nursery. Hang the moon and the moon poem in the nursery. Hang the artwork we are having framed in the nursery. Finish our bathroom by hanging the last cabinet, the hooks and painting the baseboard. Straighten up the office. Put handles on the kitchen cabinets. Thoroughly clean the entire house. It's definitely doable in three weeks and nothing that should be causing me to stress about and keep me awake but I guess it was something for me to concentrate on while I waited to feel the baby start kicking. He started moving within 30 minutes of me being awake but then he was so awake and moving so much that it was impossible for me to go back to sleep even if I wanted to. I hope this isn't indicative of what the rest of this week is going to be like.
On the plus side, today I got to see the baby again. Susan and Stacey went with me to my ultrasound today. Neither of them had ever been to an ultrasound before so it was fun to watch them in there. Everything looked great. His heartbeat was 136. He was moving around a bunch so a good picture was hard but he wasn't covering his face with his hand this time, so we finally got a pretty decent picture of his entire face. He was breathing really good too. After the ultrasound, Susan had to go back to work, but Stacey hung around with me to see the doctor. We stopped at Port City Java afterwards for some coffee and then decided we were hungry for lunch so we headed over to Flaming Amy's for some pineapple jalapeño salsa.
It ended up being a beautiful day today so after lunch I went home and hung out with JoJo outside for a bit. She rolled around in the grass in the front yard and was having so much fun enjoying the sunshine. The plumber finally showed up to install our new shower head and plumbing. When he left I decided I would start on the list I had come up with in the middle of the night. So today I started working on the kitchen cabinets. I got almost half of them done. Almost all the upper cabinets now have handles. It looks so much better and more modern than the old plain cabinets without handles. Plus it will help keep the cabinets cleaner without us touching them all the time in order to open them. Now I just have to finish the rest of them sometime this week. For now though, I'm exhausted and ready to try to get a more restful sleep than I did last night. I'm hoping today's good report on the baby will help to ease my mind some and allow me to sleep more peacefully.
