Know what that means? Tomorrow is Thursday...the last day we go without knowing something about when our baby will be born :) I don't have much to blog about today, much to my dismay. I say that because I know that I had something to blog about during the middle of the night. As most of you know, I wake up and get out of bed every 1.5-2 hours all night--usually to go to the bathroom or get something to drink. I know it seems counterproductive to get up for a drink, but sometimes I'm soooo thirsty I just get a little bit of milk or something. Anywho, each time I wake up throughout the night I'm wide awake, and it usually takes me a little while to get back to sleep. Last night was no exception. I went to sleep sometime around 11 pm last night and got up for my first bathroom/kitchen break at 12:30 am. At some point I went back to bed after one of my trips and started thinking about my blog while I was trying to go back to sleep. After each "rising" I went back to bed and thought about my blog. I have no idea what I was going to write about, but I can tell you one thing...It was FUNNY! I don't mean smile to yourself funny, I mean I was laying in bed thinking about it and giggling to myself. In whatever sleep stage I was in all those times, I am a witty, clever girl!! The world has no equal! Alas, since I can't actually remember anything that I was witty or clever about, you'll just have to trust me that I have it in me :)
Oh, another strange and annoying phenomenon having to do with my sleep. For the past 2 nights, every time I wake up I have a song running through my head...non-stop. Last night it was a Tim McGraw/Faith Hill duet. I can't remember what it was the night before that, but it was really annoying. Let's all hope that tonight is a witty and clever night without the soundtrack!
I had a pretty busy day today. I kind of thought that once I was off work I would relax and lay around some, but that hasn't really happened. I got up with Jeff about 7:30 am and made his breakfast and a bagel for me. I stayed in bed awake until around 8:30 and then got up, got a shower, did some laundry and set out for the BMV to get a new driver's license. I've been to get a new social security card with "Leslie Gibson" on it, but hadn't had a chance to go to the BMV. The BMV's of today are really a pleasant experience compared to the past. I remember growing up that whenever we had to go to the BMV for anything that Dad would get up early in the morning so he was there when it opened. Now, you can actually go online and make an appointment! Who woulda thunk it?!? Unfortunately there were no appointments open for today, but it didn't matter, I walked in and 5 minutes later was sitting at the counter with a nice lady who was diligently working on renewing my license with my new name. 15 minutes and a hideous picture later, I am officially Leslie Gibson. This probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but I was having all kinds of worry that I would get to the hospital to deliver Izzy and wouldn't be able to give them sufficient ID. (I realize that this is irrational since I could just take my social security card with me, but bear with me please!) So now that I don't have that to worry about anymore I can move on to more important things...like worrying about the epidural, or other such unpleasant things.
After the BMV, I stopped and got myself some chicken mcnuggets--yumm. I vacuumed the upstairs, worked on more laundry, cleaned "my room" in the basement, cleaned the kitchen, and then vacuumed/cleaned out my car. I've officially overdone it and everything hurts when I get up off the couch :) Jeff is hoping, of course, that this will induce labor....ha! That's okay though...1 more day until we know something. Don't worry, as soon as we know something, you'll all know something too :)

I love your posts. You may not think that it was witty and funny today, but it was to me.
You were a busy gal. Every time you have a negative thought about the whole process, replace it with something wonderful.
Oh, I may not have clearly stated that Jeff is to call us day or night. As soon as he calls, we intend to leave. Even if it is 1:00 A.M., we will head up to Indy.
Sounds like "nesting" to me!
Les - the nesting means it's soon! Don't you feel more prepared with each little thing? I know I always did. The important thing is that Izzy is healthy! Let's just hope she surprises us and decides to arrive this weekend:) Tell her "aunt Becky" said so! (something is bound to work right???) Love you guys! - Bec
I agree with the others, you are definitely nesting. Goodness, it makes me exhausted just reading about all you were up to yesterday! By the way, those activities, that's what I meant by "burst of energy", i.e. totally unreasonable activity for a pregnant lady in her ninth month. LOL! It won't be long now until you'll have your sweet little girl in your arms. We are so thankful to hear (read) that you and Izzy are healthy and well. Love to you! Meredith
