Insomnia

Apparently insomnia is "normal" at this stage. I think it's a cruel joke and likely just a reminder that I will never sleep normally again. We're getting by though, just catching up on more than my fill of infomercials and late night surfing.

We have officially moved to appointments every two weeks and last nights was our first. The doctor said everything is perfectly normal! Ninja's heartbeat has consistently been in the 160's, yesterday it was at 150. The doctor says that this is because he is learning to regulate himself.

He is a pretty crazy kicker from time to time and definitely has made himself a schedule. I can normally feel him most from 9:30a.m.-11a.m., 2 p.m.-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. and if I'm awake, which I normally am from 3:00a.m to 4 a.m. Our favorite game right now is to put the remote control on my belly and watch him kick it.

Other than that, things are going great! In the next week or so we are going to Baby's Debut, which is an elective ultrasound in Appleton. We are so excited to see him again. This place also allows for visitors during the ultrasound so we are excited for Grandmas and Grandpas to be able to "meet" him too!

We will definitely post pictures when we get them!

Progress

Enjoy!

100 Days to go!

Realizing of course that a due date is just an estimate of when the baby may arrive, it's still pretty scary to see that tomorrow that number will just be two digits. Yikes! Everyone said it would go fast and it has (for the most part). I am happy to report that we have a few things ready around the house now. We have cleared out the spare bedroom to turn into his room and have gotten it painted as well. We have ordered our furniture which we are expecting this week and have our bedding set ready to be put on that when it arrives. Seems like at least the big parts in there are finally just about together.

Here is a picture of the nursery set, it is called Wings
