day 8 of TWW

I... am... exhaaaausted.  I kind of feel like publishing just that statement.  We've been crating our dog, Pavi for a while now.  Maybe a few months or so.  Lately, the past two weeks he's been waking up in the middle of the night and whining.  He doesn't whine loudly at all, it's very subtle but it still wakes me up once or twice a night.  I let him out to go pee, and of course he goes and then goes right back to bed.  He has no problem sleeping through the night.  He's been doing it 5 years!  Problem is, he hates sleeping alone.  He's also been sleeping in bed with us for the better part of 4 years.  He doesn't wake up once when he's in bed with us, just in the crate, and when he wakes up (even in the early am, when he's in our bed) he has to pee, just like we do.  Sigh. That combined with the fact that I have had a ridiculous sleep pattern equals one fussy lady.  Here's hoping things will be better tonight.

On a side note: I'm still loving my new iPod!  It's super fantastic.  And it loves me back, I know it does.  I bought it case, cleaned it's screen and bought it little sticky protective screen film, too.  I think it's happy.  Now if I could just get my laptop (mac) and my desktop (pc) to sync their iTunes things would be much, much better.

Things have been so hectic recently, I haven't even had much time to think about the fact that I'm halfway through the two week wait.  Just a week to go!  I am excited though, and it's gone by super quick which helps I think.  My uncle passed away suddenly last week and his service is this Sunday so we've been slightly caught up with that and getting work covered (training the new douche), finding something suitable to wear (aka, buying new clothing because we all know none of us have anything suitable for well.. anything), getting a sitter for our fur-children.  Not to mention the obvious fact that we are all pretty upset about uncle Ross' untimely death.  He was such an amazing man, in so many ways.

I think I will wake up super early and test on Thanksgiving.  If it's positive, I'll break the news on Turkey Day.  If not.. I think I'll tell everyone I'm waiting until the day after Thanksgiving, then I'll go out and buy more tests and give it another whirl.  Either way I'll probably test the next day again.. just to make doubly sure one way or another!

Oh! Mom and I swung into REI to check out the BOB strollers while we were running around clothes shopping.  Needless to say, it was so completely amazing to see it in person.  It just affirmed all of my previous ideas about it: It's freaking AWESOME. Mom could even push, turn and collapse it by herself, which if you know my mother you know how amazing that truly is.  So we're BOB believers! When the time strikes, we're pickin' up our BOB.

'kay, kiddies.  I'm headed to dreamland.  Catch you on the flipside.
