Holy Moly!

Sleeping has become a tedious task in which I cannot sleep for a stretch of more than three hours at a time. I either wake up uncomfortable or I have to pee. These things all seem to be happening much earlier than my pregnancy with Emma. It's a little irritating... 

Other than that, I'm pleased to say that I will be trying my hand at making my own binky clips and that I am going to try and focus more on taking photos of Emma than I am on being pregnant. Let's hope that it proves to be an excellent distraction since I still have 22 weeks to go. Yes, I'm counting. My goal c-section date is October 18, I just have to make it to that date. As long as nothing goes wrong, my OB says that it is highly likely that the 18th will do just fine as it's a Tuesday and according to him, Tuesday's and Wednesday's are good days for c-sections. Works for me. But until then, I'm going to take all the pictures I can of Emma. I think that she'll always be my little model, but I am nervous that I'll be focused on taking pictures of the new baby and forget to take as many of her. I wonder if that's normal...

Speaking of Emma, I often wonder if she really realizes just how much her world will be changed once Baby arrives. She's so excited to be a big sister, but I hope she's okay with sharing the spotlight for a change. She does like to be the focus of most people's attention. We will be enrolling her in Pre-School (PRE-SCHOOL! Yikes!) for the fall and hopefully having something that is her "own" will help. She looks forward to Sunday School each week, so Pre-School will be similar for her. I also think that buying her a present to give her at the hospital that will be from her baby brother or sister will help a little as well.

If I were to take a poll, I wonder what everyone would think we're having. I don't care if people guess the due date and weight/height, I want to know what everyone else thinks I'm having. So leave a comment, tell me what you think. And since you're doing so, here's a belly pic and a couple of Emma:
