Working the graveyard shift...

Let me tell you, if I get to bed by 3:00am...it's a good night. For about a week now Campbell has been very awake between the hours of 11pm and 6am. Since the day she was born her sleep has been very unpredictable but this new schedule has kept up for a week. I am averaging 4 to 6 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. That really isn't too bad considering I have an infant. I am looking forward to the day when I can sleep when the majority of people in the United States are sleeping. If things don't change I could always get a job as a taxi cab driver. I could take her with me on the road. This is fresh on my mind because I saw taxi cab confessions on tv the other night at like 2am.
On the bright side Campbell is beginning to smile and coo a lot more. I really am adoring this baby and wouldn't trade her for anything...not even a good nights sleep.

A few things I've learned about my baby...

It's so interesting to watch this little personality unfold in front of me. Campbell is such a funny little girl already. When she is really drowsy her arms kind of lose control and she hits herself in the face. She gets really mad because it startles her and she bursts into tears. Campbell likes her little feet rubbed. I don't plan on spoiling her with this one. It is helpful when she is half asleep and I need her to be completely asleep. She likes to see what is going on around her. When she is crying I will turn her around so that her back is touching my belly and that seems to do the trick. She likes her little bum patted. The combination of singing and the bum pat usually calms her down. I didn't realize how many primary songs I've forgotten the lyrics to. When I run out of primary songs to sing I usually end up fumbling through the chorus of pop songs. Nothing too recent because I am no longer hip when it comes to music. At one time I felt like I was in the know(like 4 years ago). Any who... It's fun to watch my little one grow.

My sweet little Campbell is one month old!

Yesterday Campbell turned one month old. My sister Carly took some really cute pictures of her. If you would like to see my little gal you can check out my sisters blog...chucklesandgrins.blogspot.com. I don't know how to post photos on my blog. I know once I learn I will feel like an idiot because it is probably really simple.
Campbell is getting so big. At least I think she is. When I see someone else holding her she still looks so tiny. We are both experiencing difficulty with our wardrobes. She has a lot of clothes she can't wear because she is so small and I have a lot of clothes I can't wear because I'm too big. I guess we will just hang out together in our loungewear until things change. This too shall pass.
I love my little girl. She melts my heart everyday. Happy one month Campbell!

Is today Monday or Friday?

Believe it or not I have actually had this debate in my head. Since I've had Campbell I really don't know what day it is most of the time. Thank goodness for television to set me straight. I watch way too much tv these days but what do you do at 3am when your baby won't sleep. Any who... I love my sweet little girl. I love being her Mom. She is now 3 weeks and 2 days old. She doesn't know how to do any tricks yet but I will keep everyone posted.

It's official...I'm waddling

Baby update

There is no update. I went to the doctor today and it was optional to get checked. I was feeling rather lazy so I just went with the ultrasound. Anywho... 2 weeks ago I was dialated to a 1 and 80% effaced. The next week when I went in there was no change. So...yeah I decided to bypass the check this time. Everything looks good though. I'm 37 weeks 4 days. It seems like I was 36 weeks 2 weeks ago so I am definitely getting ahead of myself. Sleeping is still comfortable but I struggle getting in and out of my car. Oh, and I am still refusing to take the elevator at work but it is a little embarrassing huffing and puffing up the staircase. Thank goodness for the railing.
I have two things I am looking forward to. First, the baby of course. I can't wait to see what she looks like and I'm excited to be a mom. Second, I can't wait to have time off from work. I have had a full-time job since I was 18 years old so it will be weird to not "go to work." I know, I know, motherhood is work too...it's different though, right? Please tell me it's different.
Still working on the whole childcare situation. I pray everything works out. Well, that's a wrap.

I promised myself I would never....

Well, I am breaking a promise with myself. I promised myself I would never wear my husbands clothes while I was pregnant. I just don't know where else to turn. I'ts late and I'm too tired to do laundry. I'm down to about 5 outfits and they are all dirty. Blahhh! I had to retire most of my maternity tops because my belly hangs out of the bottom. I know some of the pregnant celebrities are comfortable with that look but I'm not. I just look and feel more like Homer Simpson. So, yeah...I'm wearing Nate's shirt tomorrow. So what! It's a golf shirt and it isn't baggy or anything. I just might curl my hair.
