Waiting on Baby

I shouldn't even feel like I'm waiting yet, seeing as how my due date isn't until Monday, but seems like everybody has had their babies early and I'm ready to go! The newest adventure in late-stage pregnancy is acid reflex and last night I ended up sleeping half the night in our large comfy chair in the living room. I certainly felt less nauseous once I wasn't laying down any more and the ottoman for my legs was nice, but I missed our warm bed and my husband next to me. In looking up triggers for acid reflex (besides being 39 weeks pregnant) I found I hit a triple whammy of pizza for dinner, a chocolate cupcake for dessert and both being too close to bedtime. So I'm planning some meals for the weekend that avoid triggering acid reflex and hopefully I'll get to sleep in my bed again!

In other news, Baby Caleb is coming during the coldest, snowiest winter in recent history. The predicted high for his due date is -12. That's negative 12. That's the actual temperature, not the wind chill. School districts and my office has officially closed on Monday. The windows in our apartment must be older than I thought because they're covered in a layer of frost constantly. Brian has been out shoveling almost every other day. In an effort to keep each other sane and our spirits high we've taken to calling Caleb our "winter joy baby." As in, in the depths of this horrendous winter, he's bringing us a lot of joy and happiness. We can't wait until he's here- I have big plans to stay indoors and snuggle him constantly.
