7 more weeks




Insomnia. It's driving me crazy. I keep waking up at at 3 am and I CANNOT go back to sleep until 6, when I might as well just get up! I'm sure it's linked to pregnancy. 7 more weeks. 7 more weeks. 7 more weeks. That's my new mantra.

We got back from NC late Sunday night... we had a rough trip, especially me. I felt so crammed into the car and SO uncomfortable that it was just ridiculous. Everything got on my nerves, and it seemed the only time I was really enjoying myself was when I was sleeping! Sheesh. 7 more weeks. 7 more weeks. The girls had a lot more fun than I did, which is how it should be, I guess! We went to the carnival on Tuesday with Papaw, Mamaw, my cousin Angela, and her little girl Lauren (she's between the ages of Sadie and Josie). They had a really fun time together and got to ride ponies, the merry-go-round, the race cars, and they climbed the crazy climbing thing (Josie was really good at this!). Mamaw also let them play the duckie game and Papaw bought them cotton candy. Wednesday, Thomas came home from work early and played with the kids for hours. He and Elizabeth and Josh came over and they all played outside, spinning around, running, playing ball, and getting all sweaty and hot. It was really warm out for 2 days (and SUNNY - YAY!) and they played while I sat out in the sun and read. The rest of the week was spent playing with Britt and Natasha (due with her 1st baby the same day as I am), zooming up and down the driveway at Papaw's house while he pushed them on the little car, eating Great Grandma's pinto beans, feeding the birds, playing in the fort at Aunt Sharon's house with Cameron and Caleb, wearing themselves out at Brenda's house with Chasity's kids, and generally having a good old time. Saturday was the baby shower that Angela and I had for Natasha, and though we got a late start and had to RUN to finish everything on time, it went well and we had a great turnout. The girls had fun playing in the toyroom with Hailey, and then they took turns "helping" Natasha open her presents and "modeling" them for everyone to see.

All in all, it was a good trip. Only my hormones and I had a rough time! :)
