Mondays... [37w1d]

I don't much care for them. Granted, the scary person of our office is out on vacation, so life is a bit easier. After waking up at 5:30 am yesterday with baby moving and some contractions and then managing to stay in bed for another hour, I was up and bouncing off the walls (not like me on a weekend morning). My bouncing (literally, I was bouncing) woke up Brian and he just kind of looked at me as if I should be in a psychiatric ward and somehow made my way into his bedroom. I then proclaimed, "Let's go for a walk!" Since this is not a common occurance, he actually got up and dressed to take me on a walk. (Never mind that it was about 30 degrees at the time...) So we bundled up and walked to McDonald's to pick up a new redbox movie (Get Smart this time - good flick!) and some breakfast. After FoxNews officially ticked me off by mocking reusable grocery bags, we made our way over to the grocery store to get donuts and some herbal tea! Can you tell I was in charge of this walk route? We then walked all the way past my dr. clinic and back to the apartment where I promptly had some of my new tea to warm up. After shuffling around the house for a while, I decided that maybe I should shower and when I got out, Brian asked if I wanted to get dressed and go to church (since the weather was icky and there would be no bike riding). So we did that! After about 15 minutes of sitting on a pew, I realized that waking up at 5:30=not the greatest idea in the world. I could barely keep my eyes open and my head propped up. After we got home and ate some lunch, I crashed for a couple of hours while Brian went and lifted weights. Then we pretty much just ate, watched T.V. and our movie, and played some mancala. Boooring! ...but still nice. I like spending quiet time with Brian and who knows how much longer we'll have quiet time! I kind of slept last night, but it has been getting harder and harder every night. I think I got up 4-5 times last night and when my alarm went off, I was tiiiiired! Hopefully I can stay awake for my 8.5 hours away from home today. Our next dr. appt isn't until Thursday (forever away!), which is also the same day we're supposed to host the new grad student who will be taking over Brian's research project. Hmm.... I'll try to keep updating quasi-daily lest you all think I have run away to the hospital.
