Last Night's Stream of Consciousness

I wrote this last night, but thought I'd post it now - enjoy where my mind wandered :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I seriously kicked today in the butt.

Today, I was supermom...even if I didn't need to be. I gave when I had nothing else to give - even if it took Starbucks and a small glass of wine (and go ahead and judge - my midwife said it's fine to have a small glass now and then...and so did my Nonna!).

My back hurts climbing into bed - I am still pretty small physically and I forget that I'm 6 months pregnant.

My schedule/calendar says 2 weeks (plus this one to finish) until I'm in my 3rd trimester. How did that happen?

I didn't nap today. It took a lot, but I'm proud I pushed through. Tomorrow is a quieter day - just ballet for Alexys - and a few errands to run. I'll try not to nap again.

I'm reading a book called Birthing From Within and I love it. It's a bit more artsy than I am...but that's okay.

I made 8 dozen gingerbread men today and decorated 6 dozen. Some are gifts, some are for Alexys' class party, and some are in the freezer now.

I didn't make supper tonight. Jord had Subway...I had a homemade sandwich. Alexys ate some - it's the first sandwich she's ever really eaten.

Baby's foot is visibly sticking out my tummy right now. I think it's sleeping cuz it's not moving. It kinda hurts.

I've now been pregnant as long as I knew I was pregnant with Alexys (24 weeks :D).

I think Alexys may be the donkey in her Christmas play at school. Realistically I didn't think she could have a speaking part - she won't stand up there yet or remember lines - but she was walking around the house today saying "eeeee haw" after school. I don't think I've ever taught her what a donkey says. Thursday may be epic.
