Happy New Year!

Well, I decided to take a moment out of my hibernation to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Yes, I said hibernation. I've been off from work for more than two weeks, and I can honestly say... at least HALF of the time I've been curled up in my bed sleeping soundly. I truly feel like a hibernating bear.

I've always been a sleeper, but I've never experienced this... for the past two weeks I've gotten at least 10 hours of sleep at night. Many of those nights were 12 or more hours!!! I know, it sounds crazy. Pregnant women are supposed to have a hard time sleeping! I will admit, there's a lot of changing sleeping positions and bathroom breaks in all those hours, but the bottom line, I'm always able to go right back to sleep.

It's amazing what sleep will do for you! I'm feeling really good, considering I'm more than 36 weeks pregnant. In fact, I went to the doctor yesterday and my nurse practitioner made the comment, "I never thought you looked tired or worn out, but seeing you well rested, I can tell you really were tired!"

So, as you can tell, I've really enjoyed my time off. I can't believe I go back to work on Monday... more importantly, I can't believe it's January!!! The month our baby boy is scheduled to arrive! Wow, time has flown by and Clark and I are getting really excited.

I'll give everyone an update on the baby name debate. The update is, there really isn't one. Clark and talked at length last night and still didn't make a decision... we're really going to have to meet our little man before deciding. The good news, we don't have to wait too long!

Happy New Year to everyone.... 2009 will be an exciting one!
