Still Waddling Along

I'm REALLLLLY ready for this baby to get here. It's official: I am waddling. And I'm so tired all the time because I can't get through a night without getting up at least four or five times to use the bathroom. And getting out of bed is no small feat, either. With the fortress of pillows that surrounds me, I have to shift everything and then roll (because I can't even sit up without a struggle!) out of bed. When I return, I have to reset all the pillows and deposit myself back in the cocoon, hoping I land in a comfortable spot. And, did I mention that my back aches, like, all the time? Oh, and I also have allergies (pollen counts are at a decade high), and since your nasal passages swell when you're pregnant, I have to wear Breathe-Right strips and take Benadryl every night. Even after these measures, Scott says I snore so loud that he can't hear the TV.

And these are only the things I can mention without blushing. SO much is going on in my body right now that I don't even want to think about.

According to my official due date, I have four more weeks. But I'm shooting for three max. Beyond that, my mental health may be in jeopardy!

Reagan's Favortie Things for May '06

Favorite Kids Shows: Dora the Explorer, Blue's Clues, Wonder Pets

Favorite Prime Time Shows: American Idol (she's now pulling for Taylor, since Kelly is out), Everybody Hates Chris

Favorite Food: chicken nuggets with honey

Favorite Sayings: "I have an idea," "That's not the law," "Watch my show"

Biggest Fear: ladybugs (any sort of bug is classified as a ladybug)

Favorite Clothes: Belle dress and Snow White costume (which we wear almost daily)

Reagan is anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Sister. She still wants to name her Kelly Pickler. Since Mama is hormonal and gets weepy at almost anything, Reagan asks, "You sad?" a lot. She also yells, "Baby Sister come out!" to Mama's belly and then says, "She not ready," when it doesn't work.

Hopefully our next post will be the announcement of Baby Sister's arrival!
