32 weeks

wow, third trimester has arrived. In approximately eight weeks we will be bringing Zatanna home from the hospital...There is soooo much to be done. I have a hard time sleeping there is just so much on the brain and if I get cleaning well I am pretty much in a zone until I have to sit down. So safe to say nesting is a check. Here is my to do list this week...

1. call dr. to set up ultrasound for Wed with reg appt. since my insurance said they will cover it

2. call benefits to set up FMLA leave

3. finish registering at Target and register at Babies R Us

4. Call my mom and Aunt about dates for the shower

5. write guest list for shower

6. call L& D to pre register and take a tour

7. find a baby class to take

I think that is it right now my brain is on overload and I can't sit properly. At night I have all this energy and can't sleep and the next morning I am so drained I don't want to move from bed. I feel completely unprepared. I know that is normal and there is no use stressing but sometimes a girl just has to stress :) Plus I am experiencing the "she keeps kicking and I can't sleep through that" that others have talked about. At least she is moving though and that is a good sign. 

The holidays were good and I am glad they are done.

Sadly, one of my coworkers passed away from an aneurysm on New Years Eve which I did not find out until Friday so that could be part of the stress issue and thinking there is no time. It is amazing how fast things can end. She was 39 and always so full of enthusiasm. She left at 3pm on New Years Eve and I remember thinking how happy she seemed and was gone at 4:30pm...I am a little in denial I expect her to show up tomorrow for work. I am glad I got to come back and work with her before she passed. She gave great advice about being a mom. She loved her children so much. I will miss her a lot our shift will not be the same without her. Her funeral is sometime this week my guess is Tuesday but I am not for sure. I guess I will find out tomorrow. 

I need to go finish folding the laundry. Good Night all!!
