Baby Sulak

Thought I'd journal a bit about the baby. He's measuring about 2 weeks ahead of his due date. The date won't change, but I believe that was Megan's turn out too.. and she was 9 days late. We are not in a hurry to get him out though. He's due 4/26, which is Megan's ballet recital, and 4/25 is our wedding anniv. Gotta give the poor kid his own day. So, maybe 4/30 wouldnt be so bad. I wont be doing anything to help him along, that is for sure.
He's moving ALL the time. It's getting harder and harder to sleep. I wake up often, and it's not even to use the bathroom. I think at the 6am wake up, I might just start staying up and get things moving. And if you know me, that is UNHEARD OF. Going to sleep after 6am is so hard to get up to get Megan moving. So, I'll give it a try. Maybe that will get me going to bed earlier. I've always had such a hard time falling asleep, prego or not. Todd can fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, and he's a snore-o-rama man, so it's gets a bit..uh um.. troublesome for me to sleep. He's been having me go to bed and he does his shower and last minute preps for the next day allowing me time to get to slumber. It just doesnt always work. I try.. I do.
I've been doing the nesting thing, but it's really things we've wanted to do anyway..but now have gotta get a move on. We've moved Megan into the guest room. She now has a king size bed. WHATEVER! She stays in bed all night and that's all I care about. She's been in the guest room for about 2 months anyway. She's been having issues in her room, which we believe to be related to our TV install w/surround sound in the ceiling. It happens to be rather close to her bedroom and she can hear it. So, now we have some time to fix that problem before Timmy moves in there. He's still in the nursery room. His new room will need to be painted, as we had it all done perfectly for a girl. No way can it stay the same purple! Maybe this summer. No hurry. Megan's old bed will be Timmy's eventually too. It's a loft type bed with a slide, which he enjoys, but will be removed until he is much older, and the bed has been turned so he cannot use the ladder either. It will be toddlerbedville for a while. But again, not till summer. The baby will be in our room for a good amount of time, we're just not rushing it. And he may need a crib too, so we'll take our time. The nursery doesnt need to change at all. We actually bought blue/yellow duckie bedding for Megan, so it's been used over and over. We did have to paint some of the top 1/2 walls for Timmy though a few years ago. I was doing a faux finish with a feather duster to give some extra to the white walls, and it looked like rosettes. Which was fine for Megan, but not for a boy. The top 1/2 is still white to this day. Have done nothing to it. There are pictures on the walls and a Thomas quilt made for Timmy that will move with him to his big boy room. I sure hope this baby likes trains and cars.. or he's gonna be miserable!
