Whine, Whine, Whine

Excuse me for a minute while I complain.... I am TIRED! Over the last week I have been unable to sleep well. I wake up for whatever reason (bathroom break, Cooper crying, etc) and cannot get back to sleep for almost the rest of the night. 3 hours a night is not going to cut it. It's very annoying when all I want is to get in some good sleep before the baby arrives. I guess this is prepping me for the sleepless nights ahead? I would really love to get a restful sleep for one whole night without waking up and not being able to get back to sleep because I keep thinking of the 8,000 things that I need to get done between now and May 18th and also not being able to get comfortable. I mentioned it to my doctor this week and she said I can take Tylenol PM or a low dose of Ambien, but I would really rather not have to take anything to get to and stay asleep, although I guess its nice to know I have some options if this continues.

Doctor visits are going fine- I have been going weekly now for the last few weeks, and I am at +27 lbs at 37 weeks which is better than the last time around with Cooper although I didn't track it quite as closely back then. Nothing major to report other than things seem to be going fine. I finally scheduled a tour of the hospital -- by the time I got around to that there was only one day left between now and my due date to get a tour completed. Nothing like waiting for the last minute I guess.

In other more entertaining news, we have another name to consider, as if we need to lengthen the list! Cooper was getting his hair cut on Sunday and the lady who was cutting his hair asked if he had brothers and sisters. He started telling her that after he turned 4 he was getting a baby sister. She asked what her name was going to be and he said "Lily Grace". I have no idea where that one came from, but as it turns out, the lady cutting his hair had a family member Lillian Grace, so they had a long chat about how nice the name was. It's not a name I was thinking of earlier, but maybe I need to add it to the list?
