Sleep?

Is it the time change or is it that Calem won't stop moving around? I cannot sleep tonight. This is very uncharacteristic of my sleeping patterns lately. Usually I am in bed by 8:30 and up by 5am unless it is a full moon (then I am up by 3am). So, tonight I seriously do not feel one wink of tired. I am WIDE awake with nothing to do. Well, I could unload and load the dishwasher, but that would be too noisy for my hubby and the babies sleeping on the floor next to our bed.

My mind has been non-stop Calem thoughts for the past week. I have been praying and praying for patience, an early arrival, more appreciation for these last days of being so beautifully and wonderfully pregnant, love and attention for my husband, and all of the above. My mind thinks constantly about what it will be like, what he will look like, what life will bring us as we do our best to raise this child that we have been so gloriously blessed with.

I have one more week of work left. I am feeling great but slow and tired most of the time. I am sure I could stick it out up until the day of delivery but I don't want to do that. I feel like a week or so of some restful and relaxing time will be good before life changes around here. I wish Rob could do the same with me. I know he could use a week to rest and relax and just veg to prepare for our precious one.

Today we both cleaned out and organized our closets. We hope to have a garage sale next weekend. And, the closets were the last places in the house that needed tidying up before Calem came. I just knew that if I didn't finish that one task before he came, it wouldn't have ever been accomplished otherwise. So, my closet is so "Martha-Stewart-organized" now. I can walk in and invite four friends to join me if I wanted.

Well, not tired yet...I hoped blogging would put my mind to sleep. Maybe I will practice some relaxation to get my brain to settle down. Hopefully the next time I blog it will be to announce to the world that we are in labor! Ta Ta.
