Maybe it's nesting already??

I'm in planning mode. As I get older, the more I like to plan. I think it started this time after Emily gave me a cute little dress for the baby and then this past weekend, seeing our niece for the first time. But now I feel like I want to get the room all ready and start gathering clothes and such. It's still early though so I don't want to do too much.

We have the crib and Chris discovered that it is white the other day. Not my top choice, but hey, the crib was free so I'm not complaining. We need to get a changing table because with Carter, we had a make-shift one and that's gone now. Since we are getting that, I have picked one from Ikea that has a dresser to match. The changing table converts to a three drawer dresser as well. So, that's planned. Now I'm starting to think about the gear and all the neccessities we will need. I'll be going through what we have from Carter as far as clothes go to pull out the neutral and not overly boyish clothes to use. Most of the gear just needs to be brought down from the attic and cleaned up. We won't need any of the big things, is just all those small things that add up.

We won't be having a shower because I, along with my family and friends, don't feel I need one. Showers are for getting the big things mostly and we are set there. But, getting clothes is going to be the main thing. I have a few friends that have had girls, so hopefully I can score some hand-me-downs from them, but mostly, everyone I know has boys. I'm sure Susan will pass along anything of Bethany's once she's done with them. So, I know that I'm worrying for no reason, but that's what mommies do!

Part of me can't wait these next three months. But then most of me knows that I need the time to prepare. I have several friends on Facebook, though, that are on the edge or just have had their babies. Some it's their first, but most it was more than that. So I'm seeing the pictures of the babies and know that soon that's going to be me.

Sleep!!

I got to sleep in just a little bit today. I had a dentist appointment at 8:45 and since the office is by OPI, I just came to work afterwards. They fixed the crown and put a crappy temporary one on for now. I go back on the 11th for the permanant one. They said everything was safe, even the x-ray because they put that big cover over me. So, that's half done.

I am just so extremely tired! I know this part shouldn't last for too long, but wow! I guess I had forgotten just how wiped you can get. And this time I'm not even on my feet all day like last time! But, I guess having a three-year-old doesn't help much.

The dreams are starting. I never remember my dreams normally, but even though I couldn't tell you what they were now, they have definitely been more vivid lately.

This pregnancy just feels different in so many ways. With Carter, of course, I had a lot of stress around this point of it all, but I still was extremely excited. This time, while I'm very excited, I'm also a bit blase about it all. I guess because when we tell someone, there isn't that surprised shock. Everyone is pretty much expecting it. But that's not it. There is something else there that I just can't put my finger on. Maybe the slight fear of having two children to manage. Maybe the fact that I'm trying to go to school at the same time. (That story will be in my LiveJournal soon) I have no clue, but this go-round is definitely different.

I know one thing. I miss my friends this time. I enjoy the people I work with, but we don't have that bond that I had with the BNers. I don't have that closeness, that bond, that I had before. *sigh* It sucks growing up and apart!
