Pop goes the wiesel (or the belly button in this case)

Let the truth be told, my belly button is out! I hope it returns when this pregnancy is over. My linea negra is very dark, according to Mike, I can't see it without a mirror. We are struggling with this dresser we (Mike) are trying to refurbish. He re-stained it and then but a coat of varnish on it and it is not turning out the way we want it to. So now he is in the garage re-doing the whole thing. I am just anxious to get it in the room and start putting away all the stuff we have for B so far. Now we must wait longer. I just want to be done with the room already and just add baby to it. We are also busy with getting invitations made for the baby shower. Add that to fact that I am trying to organize and clean the whole house and this creates little time for rest.

Mike and his brother Scott came to visit me at the hospital the other day. Of course we took a look at B, and it was funny to see Mike try and explain all the parts to Scott. He almost is a Pro I guess. I am not sleeping very well now and the sad part about it is that I won't for many many months. Once B gets here, I still won't be sleeping. I have always needed and loved a lot of sleep, so I am basically screwed.

We are also waiting on Sarah to call us and tell us she is in labor. I haven't decided if I wanted to be in the room for the birth or not. I am afraid it will create more anxiety. Mike and I will be practicing on this little guy though, such as, changing his diaper, clothes and caring for the umbilical cord area. Mandie needs to prove herself with birth pictures because if they turn out good, then she will do our also. I'm sure they will, I am just concerned with having a lot of people in the room.

Next appointment is Aug 21st and I will be 32 weeks by then. I am large and in charge and I don't know how there will be any more room for B. I will keep you updated.
