I feel like I had a newborn...

last night! Shelby was up every two hours last night! And even in between those two hours she would cry or moan. What?!!!? I think it due to teething. That's the only thing I can think of. No fever, but a runny nose that started during the night. These are the times when I remember why I agreed to stop at 3 kids! I always in my heart of hearts want more, and if Tom were today to say, "Let's have another!", I would still say "yes". (remember though, he is snipped, LOL)

But, I am getting over that want, finally. I talked about it to some friends a couple of weeks ago, and I think that helped a lot. I think as a woman, especially when up enjoy almost everything about it...the conceiving :), the pregnancy, the delivery, the baby:), you always will want to have more. And I think we all know our "number" or "limit" within us of what we can handle, or what we "envision" our families to look like. And even when I was younger, much younger, I always thought in my mind that I would have 3 of my own. I say "own", because I am hoping for the chance to adopt some day.

But anyway, I just went off somewhere else, let's get back to the main story of, NO SLEEP. Because, not only did Shelby not sleep, we were up from 9-11pm with the older two! We just put Halle in a transitional bed. (her crib with 3 railing walls and one open side with side bars) And she was getting out constantly until about 10:30pm, then Brady thought it would be cool to get out of bed because why Brady? "My owie on my knee." The one he got that morning. Yeah. So cool.

So anyway, I am going to follow suit from a friend that said the other day she drank a 6 cup pot of coffee...Well, I'm on my first cup and almost ready to pour another! And, I didn't get to go swim today, because I was too exhausted...so know I feel yucky about that too! But it's ok! Because I am going to the Group 1 Crew concert tonight and I will not let anything like one night of lack of sleep to bring me down!!!

And just to give you fair warning, to all of my pregnant friends (and sister, but she already knows this), I will steal your baby for a few hours here and there...I love babies, and there is nothing like giving a baby a little lovin' even from a crazy friend!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my coffee

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a

Still here...Day Two.

Well, I still miss my kids horribly. Especially this morning when I heard that Shelby was up alot during the night. She has not been up in the middle of the night in 3 weeks, and it made me feel guilty for leaving her. I felt and feel, like I should be home with them. I know the woman who is watching them, that if she hears even the slightest little peep out of the kids would go rushing in to their room. I really don't want Shelby to get used to someone picking her up in the middle of the night for little rustles and sighs. But maybe I am just anxious, and maybe it is not really that big of a deal. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with my thoughts, my books and my husband. But honestly, I am anxious because I feel like the can't live with out me (don't laugh, besides I know it's over dramatic:)), I haven't even attempted to pick up one of my books, and my husband is driving me nuts because it does not bother him one bit that we are 3 hours away from our little bund
