This morning started early. Tyler got out of bed at his regular 6:45 am time and showered. He was going to wake me up once he was out of the shower so I closed my eyes and waited. Tyler came and woke me up after what seemed like only a few minutes but it was actually about 45 minutes later. It's so strange when that happens. I really didn't want to get up but I understand why it had to be done. We are planning on heading to bed around 8 tonight to make sure we get enough sleep. It's going to be an early morning tomorrow, starting at 4 am and ending at whatever time we get into Vancouver.
Once Tyler headed off to work, I started work on my cross stitching. This project is what will be keeping me busy on our very long trip home. I also watched some morning news. Once the news was over, I turned the TV off and just enjoyed the silence. I ate some cereal for breakfast to help with emptying out the fridge of milk and just enjoyed the morning.
I had a to do list waiting for me but for some reason I didn't just get it done. I'm not sure why I didn't feel like it, maybe because it wasn't that long so it didn't seem that urgent. I played a few rounds of solitare instead. I did eventually get it started, with doing a few dishes, cleaning the kitchen floors and vacuuming the whole house again. I also had to pay the internet bill and cancel our service for the next few months. I gathered a few of the things that still need to be packed but that we have been using at the front door for easy packing tonight.
Tyler came home for lunch and we enjoyed some time together, thinking about all that we have to do tonight. He soon left again for his last half of the work day. He is about to start a very well deserved vacation and I guess his day was going pretty slow so it wasn't easy to head back to work for him.
I went for a walk this afternoon and was going to pay the internet bill on the way home. I tend to waddle a little more these days so my walks last longer and I look a little funnier. I came back home to wait to head out once again to go to a doctors appointment.
And then it was time to get going to the doctors. It was just a regular appointment and everything went fantastic. My doctor actually said that it seems like I just flew through this pregnancy and I am very thankful for that. There is still a very strong heartbeat which I love hearing. It's like there is a little pac man moving around in there. And Baby J had been kicking me so much in the lower stomach area, so much so that when I was in the middle of saying something to Tyler, a kick stopped me mid-sentence.
We just finished up what's left in our fridge and are getting ready for bed. It's a good thing we are both pretty tired right now. We just have to make sure to go to bed before we get a second wind. I'm not too sure what we will be doing this evening but it's going to be super low key.
Pray for our safe travels and safe road conditions for us. That would be greatly appreciated.
