View LYNNABEL's food & exercise for this day
Its early - and I've been up for at least a hour and a half. I slept straight through from bed to 4:40am which always (always = meaning since I can remember = meaning since getting pregnant) makes me feel so rested, even when its not much sleep in the grand scheme of what I consider enough sleep.
So many babies around here! Its wonderful.
My little one is quiet right now, but that will change. His movements are so...big - they bump the cat and me and S in bed. What a strong, precious baby. I'm anxious to start baby classes - our first one is next Wednesday. I'm anxious to get things ready! I've set October 1st as my "I-can-do/get-everything-now" date. It seems early enough to allow for early labor and not too early that everything gets dirty or unfresh by the the time the baby will be born. Plus, its a nice, round date.
Ripple and I went for our walk this morning. It was dark and cool, but good to do. I dusted some in the basement, did dishes, and scrubbed the kitchen sink. I may try to do the bathroom yet as well.
Yesterday ended up okay at work. I went out to lunch, kvetched with some coworkers, and came back ready to go.
Making the transition to a healthy caloric intake after the baby is born will be challenging. I hope I can breast feed for so many reasons - one smaller one being that I won't have to transition so much drastically lower in calories as I probably would have to otherwise.
I've been reading people's journals and seeing how affected everyone seems to be by the post hurricane situation - its still so unreal to me. I can't seem to realize that its real and its happening to real people. I don't think I'm able to abstract disaster to large groups of people - I can sense and empathise and worry about small groups (those coal miners that got stuck in their mine shaft several years ago or the people on the Russian submarine that couldn't be rescued) but I can't make huge groups of people real (the tsunami in Asia, Hurricane Katrina, even the genocides in Darfur and Rwanda, although that has a unique element since is people killing people). My mind, if not my gut, prays for help for the people in Miss. and LA.
A long weekend ahead and my first wedding anniversary with S. I'm not sure what we'll do yet, but hopefully something we both enjoy.
Walnut baby is waking up.
