November has finally come! I didn't think we'd ever make it to this point. There's a lot of exciting things happening this month with the anticipation of a new baby, and a few birthdays near the end of the month! We woke to a light dusting of snow and a familiar November chill. After the spooky wind last night, I'm not surprised. Before bed I opened my window just a crack and fell asleep snuggled under the duvet with a cool breeze on my face. I had a restless night with my big belly. It's hard to turn over anymore these days and my calf muscles kept cramping up. I finally woke at 7am with Ollie nestled next to me as the boys voices carried up the stairs. I was tired. I got the kids off to school and then nestled on the couch and napped on and off while the little boys played quietly at my feet. The dog curled up in the crook of my legs and warmed my body.
The mamma deer and her sweet twins slowly made their way across the yard, pausing beneath trees and munching the bits of grass poking up as they went. It's always so fun seeing them come through the neighborhood. I am counting down days until this baby's arrival. My body is sore and tired. Today I found myself missing friends and especially missing Mike. I'm torn between wanting this baby to come, and wanting it to stay put until life settles just a little bit more. I'm constantly reminding myself that we have had babies at crazier times when we were students with no income, no crib, and no fancy clothes. I always have to remind myself what's really important. The kids came home, still buzzing from all of the Halloween candy. I usually don't regulate how much they eat, and like to just get it over with. We totally bombed bedtime and I finished the day feeling defeated. I'm hoping a good nights sleep tonight will remedy my crazy emotions!
