Confessional # 5

People seem to really enjoy these.  I guess they give people a giggle and perhaps also a sense of relief that they aren't as bad off as they may have thought. Sooo here's Confessional # 5:

1.  We JUST got Derek's nursery cleared out of the old guest furniture and it is still basically a junk room (albeit more organized because I used yesterday as Thursdays are my organization day to throw away things and sort the stuff that was left into piles) and I would never let anyone go in there.  We have 2 months to get our stuff together and I have full confidence that we will but my OCD is really nagging at me about it.  I mean, come on, I have a "Thursday organization day," how can can that room not be haunting my dreams?


2.  Although we have been warned about the dangers of saying, "No!" too much (as it will lose its meaning), Liam has really started to respond to it and I personally say "No!" like crazy.  It works and I'm sorry but with our limited communication capabilities I will currently take anything I can get especially if it will keep the baby from pulling the bookcase down on himself or licking the litter box.

3.  At this point I need a nap every day as much as Liam does.  I literally cannot function without that two hours.  A lot of days I don't sleep but I lay in bed and either watch TV, read or just relax with my eyes closed.  The days that I miss my nap/rest time for whatever reason are pretty bad.  I think I am probably worse off than the baby would be.  I know that in a few months when Derek gets here they will NEVER nap at the same time (ever) so for last few months or so I have been taking full advantage of my pregnancy induced nap time.

4. My weight is so astronomical at this point that I can't even believe that I can really weigh that much. The number just sounds like the weight of a house... or a car...  or a whale. I had never lost all of my weight with Liam (I was just getting close) and then I got pregnant again and now... just wow... the number is appalling.  Many people have assured me that I don't look like I weigh that much and that may or may not be true but it is still a really horrifying number which I will NOT be confessing here... but, just know, it's really bad.
