The saying is applicable to both where I am in my pregnancy and also this time in my education. Final presentations are coming due, research is wrapping up, and final exams begin for me Saturday morning at 0800. Yay! Or should I say, Aaagh! The baby still has 5 1/2 weeks to grow and I think he'll take all of that time. We shall see! I am still feeling well, though a bit more burpy than usual what with my whole stomach being displaced by the little guy. My kicks are in my diaphram and under my ribs now, and the doctors have been telling me for a while that he's head down, all good news. Other good news is that I can still manage 3-6 flights of stairs with ease, and I only occasionally get Braxton Hicks -usually after mopping :). To say the least, I am extremely blessed and totally stoked about this last week of school, and these last few weeks before baby.

So, last night I woke up at 3:00 am, for no reason. Tristan was kicking and my mind was full. I just lay there and processed life for a while. They say that the closer one gets to giving birth, the more difficult it becomes to sleep. It's true, I guess. There is also more on my mind than just the baby, I am finishing school, prepping for a research presentation, and starting to get really excited about being my sister's maid of honor in her July wedding. Life is full. I just take deep breaths and try to enjoy every minute.

The baby room is slowly coming along. With eight weeks to go, I am getting excited and starting to feel the need to be ready for the babies' birth. A couple of weeks ago, we did get the crib. We don't have a mattress yet, but the crib is beautiful!
