On-Call And On High-Alert

It’s Sunday morning. I feel as though this week took forever to get by. Every morning I wake up and wonder ‘Is today the day?’ I am hoping the little guy is waiting for Tuesday to arrive, that’s when his grandma will finally get here.
I am feeling the same as usual. Nothing different has happened except every night I go to bed wondering what the next day has in store. Friday night, V and I went to a local Mexican restaurant called Mariachisimo. We had the regular steak, with frijoles, nachos, guacamole, and my favorite dessert! After that hearty meal, I felt it was a bit too heavy in my stomach so I washed it down with two glasses of limonada-mineral. What a mistake that was. Needless to say, I got up several times that night and huddled the toilet as the food made its way back up! I felt terrible. V was partially awake checking to see if I was ok. After several hours, I decided I would put on a pair of cozy pajama bottoms to help me fall asleep again. I made my way to my packed carry-on (ready for the hospital) and opened the top to get my pjs. When ALL OF A SUDDEN, V jumped up and soared out of bed (picture it in slow motion) yelling “Is it TIME?” As crappy as I felt, I couldn’t help but crack up. I laughed so hard. It’s good to know he is alert and on the ball! For someone who normally doesn’t wake up with much ease, I was totally impressed. I guess that was sort of like a dry run.

Now, we are truly ready for the real thing!

  1. Hey Mar,

    Your day to day provided is truly great! Some advice, if I may... Try to rest/sleep as much as possible. I know, you're probably thinking what I thought, which was, no matter how much I sleep and rest, what difference will it make later? It's not like I can bank the time to use it when I really need it, but trust me.... Fatigue/sleeplessness will likely kick in sooner than you think.
    Anyone who wants to help.... DO NOT refuse any help from friends, family or neighbours. That'll be the time to take advantage.
    Well... we're certainly counting down the days on our end and looking forward to hearing some fantastic news in the next little while.
    We wish you all the best! and a very speedy delivery, when the time comes!
