It's 4:20 am and I'm wide awake. I've now been up for an hour. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back to sleep soon so that I don't crash at work. This is the 4th time this has happened to me in the past week. I guess it's my nesting instinct kicking in but unfortunately I worry more about work things than about things at home. I have several loose ends I need to wrap up at work before I go on maternity leave. Unfortunately, many of them are things that leave others feeling forgotten when I leave work. I've been trying to prepare the kids I work with for the fact that I'm leaving soon but I think many of them forget or just don't understand that I will probably not be back this school year. I also have a lot of end of the year paperwork that needs to be completed before I go. That's what's keeping me up tonight.

This nesting instinct is funny because men don't usually get it, but Mike has been nesting around the house. I guess because he won't be gone from work for as long as I will the work stuff isn't bothering him as much. I will probably not be back at my job until the 2006-2007 school year so I really have to get as much stuff into the next week or two that I can.

For those of you who like pictures, Mike is planning on taking another shot of the growing belly today. Pretty soon we will have pictures of baby and that's exciting because that's why we started this blog in the first place!
