Well I survived the 96 degree heat wave yesterday! :o) Today's high is only supposed to be about 85- regardless I am staying inside with the AC on until this evening. I did go out early this am- about 8 am and walked for about 1 hour- even did some hills. Keira seemed entertained by the whole thing and was very very active when I got back but has since settled down and I am guessing has no plans for meeting the world any time soon. :o( Still hoping and praying for her to show up this weekend. My ability to sleep has gotten ridiculously bad- I can't fall asleep for hours (even though I am exhausted) and when I finally fall asleep I just wake up about 2 hours later and can't fall back asleep. I never had any sleep problems before so I am blaming the whole thing on the baby.... and people wonder why I am so anxious to get here out of me!!!!
Maybe the holy spirit will get involved at the vigil mass tonight- :o)
If anyone has any ideas of ways I can keep myself busy let me know- I am so restless. I have already cleaned our house- organized every closet, cleaned up the yard, cooked a few meals for the freezer. Keira's room is ready and there isn't one thing left to buy, the car seats are installed. I have packed her bag for the hospital as well as mine- I can't sit still long enough to read or watch TV.. and sleeping just isn't happening....

You are truly nesting and the time is coming. You might want to call your doctor but for me during these non-sleep times when I was pregnant some 30+years ago my doctor suggested I sip on a small glass of red wine. It will not harm anything but could certainly calm your nerves and relax you. I did the same thing with Dawn some 36 years ago. I had everything absolutley done and then didn't realize I was in early labor the afternoon she was born cause I was too busy perfecting the whole house! Keira will come when she ready to face the world. It's nice and cozy in there not a care in the world just feed me mommy! Maybe if you hook up some music for her to listen too,go for a bumpy ride in the country! This is a time to reflect on the beauty of birthing! Yeah, right but it truly is... I loved the time I was "with child". Enjoy your solitude now,rent some funny movies!!Take care-love Nana K.
