WINDY / WARM / RAINY / COLD

Those four words seem to sum up the weather the last few days.  Within minutes, the conditions change from one of those to the next and it's quite difficult to select an appropriate outfit!  Throw in some hot flashes and some unusual cold sensitivity and you have one CONFUSED woman!

The holidays continue to be swell.  On Boxing Day, I spent the morning with some visitors from Saskatoon (coffee, walk, Science Center!), while Phil went to look at some used car dealerships with our friend Jamie.  Yesterday we found a new walking path perfect for STROLLING with a STROLLER and practiced our navigation skills while cruising around in search of a rocker/glider for the nursery.  As for today, we are heading out nice and early for me to practice my driving at a relatively low-traffic time and this afternoon the delivery man is coming to drop off and assemble some new purchases. 

The Bump and I - soaking up some fresh air, exercise and sunshine!
There has been a wee bit more relaxing than our previous days.  The painting is finished and we've had to wait around for our new furniture before continuing to decorate the guest room and nursery.  That all will change later today!  Haha.

Phil has enjoyed watching some sports documentaries with his new wireless headphones at night time and I've been trying my best to be AS QUIET AS A MOUSE each morning so he can sleep in as long as possible.  I figure these days will soon be over for him....so SLEEP WHILE YOU CAN!!!! 

Then there's my sleeping pattern.  Or lack of.  I am enrolled in quite the training regime for motherhood, I tell ya!  This morning I woke up at 4 a.m. - in tears - that I had barely slept a single wink.  I feel as though I do everything OTHER than sleep in the night:  roll over, roll over again, go pee, roll over, go pee, get out of bed to stretch my back and legs, go pee, roll over.............(repeat).  Then the baby starts to move, my stomach starts to growl, and I'm achy all over.  And I call it quits.  Victory:  INSOMNIA!  It doesn't help that I'm an over-Googling, CRAZY, mama-to-be.  My mind never stops.  Alas, I'm optimistic that these frustrations are all blessings in disguise - preparing me for what's to come.  Have I told you how excited I am to meet our little girl?!!!

Anyways, I better get my "game face" on for the roads.  Breakfast #1 has been had, but second breakfast is quickly approaching!

Wish me luck and Phil some sanity (who else would put up with me?!).
