no baby yet

I’m too tired to put together any cohesive thoughts this evening. I think I’m actually going to head to bed at a lame 8pm since Matthew is screen-printing t-shirts with his friend in the den. But I figured I should at least update the blog since I’ve been writing pretty frequently and a delay of a day or so might spark assumptions of the arrival of a certain family member to you faithful readers.

So no, there is no sign of baby yet.

The due date is still a week away and seeing as Brighton was still nursing at the time we found out, there’s no real definitive answer on that being an actual due date to count on. So who knows. Maybe a few days, maybe a few weeks. Time will tell.

It’s nice still being able to get a somewhat full night of sleep for the time being though. I sometimes convince myself that I’m tired right now. Tired of carrying around 15 pounds of extra weight, tired of dealing with feet in my ribs, tired of not getting comfortable when I sleep. Then I have to laugh, as I remember back a year ago. Tired took on a whole new meaning after 4+months of no more than 2-3 hour stretches of cat naps throughout the night. They say sleep-deprivation is used as a form of torture in some countries. I believe it.
