Someone tell me it’s really Friday!! I have officially entered the third trimester with that little voice in my body saying, I NEED TO SLEEP.

I slept till 6:00 this morning. That is crazy. Matty gets up at 4:45 or 5:00 every day no matter what and I just can’t do it right now. And then I could easily go directly home after work and go back to sleep for a nap before bedtime.

I absolutely have to mow the lawn tonight, and the neighbor’s lawn (this is my only major activity once a week next to yoga, so don’t worry, I need to do it) and then I might just take a shower, watch a minute of television and go to bed. It will most likely be 8:00 by then anyway. This little guy is sucking it all out of me.

I have to say that the thought of holding a soft, cuddly newborn is getting almost unbearable. We have so much to do yet but I want him to be here already!

Matt hit golf balls last night at the driving range and I took my fuzzy blanket to sit on behind him. I really wanted to lay down and nap in the sun. (again, what is up with all the sleep?!) At least I am so tired that it doesn’t matter that it is so difficult to get comfortable, I just sleep through all that. Poor Matty, I typically sleep right on my edge of the bed, on my side, not moving much. At this point on the game I am sprawled all over with roughly 6 pillows every which way.

We have a rather large parking garage attached to our building but the chances of me ever getting a spot in it are slim to none. Because of space I think it will be twenty years till I can get a spot. First of all, VP’s and higher of all departments are given a spot immediately upon hiring, and then supervisors and so forth down the trail… Then when you get to the majority of the staff (us peons) then we wait through a process of seniority. So by the time it even gets to us, we have to wait for another peon to die or retire. To make a short story long, a co-worker will be out the next two days and asked me if I would like her spot in the garage today and tomorrow. I thought that was so sweet. So up I went to the top of the garage and parked in her little spot this morning. They will take one look at Ol’ Blue and know immediately that she is an imposter but that’s okay. They’ll let her stay a couple days.

I have plenty of work to do and I better get started… My friend April’s baby shower is Saturday! So excited!! Oh! And I got a couple soft, comfy knit dresses to wear to summer events that are really cute. They hug my belly and I actually feel cute in them, except for my jelly fat arms right now. Seriously, I have fat where I didn’t know I could get fat. But aside from that, all is well. I am not sick or in any danger of being put on bed rest and for that I am extremely grateful.

Have a wonderful day! Love, Rebekah & Baby Matthew
