Jack and I are sick.\u00a0 It’s a long, lingering head cold we started Tuesday night.\u00a0 Jack was mostly congestion, I had mostly sore throat.\u00a0 But I think we are trading symptoms here in the last couple days.\u00a0 His coughing last night kept me up, along with what I guess would be an anxiety attack about coordinating the house to get to the hospital in case I go into labor on my own.\u00a0 I couldn’t sleep for hours.\u00a0 Maybe the cold or the benedryl contributed.\u00a0 Or just the fact that I’m a month from my due date. Either way, not sleeping last night made today the worst of the week for me.\u00a0 I couldn’t go to church and didn’t get out of bed until noon.\u00a0 I finally started to feel better late afternoon, just well enough to converse with my boys.<\/p>\n

Anyway, lots of sick and laying low this week.\u00a0 Mostly we wear sweatpants and stay at home.\u00a0 At times we felt better, and could get out to do things.\u00a0 Friday Ben and I went on a date to the Alamo, a much needed break for adult time.\u00a0 Last night we went to the Denver County Fair<\/a>.\u00a0 I probably should have stayed home to rest, but it sounded really fun and I felt bad dragging Ben down for the weekend.\u00a0 He took a lot of photos, if those get up I’ll share them with you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I also babysat Wolfie, bought a new dishwasher, unpacked and decorated the nursery, packed my hospital bags, finished Jack’s sweater, and did the sundry other chores I must do to keep the house humming.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Oh, the owl, I forgot that I wanted to tell you about that.\u00a0 We ordered this alarm clock<\/a> for Jack and it’s FANTASTIC.\u00a0 I had been working on him getting out of bed himself, so when the baby comes he doesn’t need me to retrieve him from his room.\u00a0 He did great after a few days, but wasn’t really understanding when it was ok to come out.\u00a0 Sometimes he would come downstairs 20 minutes after I put him down, expected praise for waking up on his own.\u00a0 This owl from Amazon is an alarm clock that works brilliantly.\u00a0 Jack loves it and follows it faithfully.\u00a0 It glows orange, says “Go back to sleep now” and plays lullabies if you press its belly and it’s not time to wake up yet.\u00a0 It turns green at the appointed time, and says “It’s time to wake up” if you press the belly after wake time.\u00a0 You can set night and nap modes, it’s super easy to program, and again-Jack adores him.\u00a0 We’ve had 100% sleep and wake behavior since we started using it last week.\u00a0
