*I'm going to have a baby in less than 12 weeks! I'm in awe of how quickly this time has gone by and I'm so excited for her to be here. I had my wisdom tooth removed yesterday and on the drive to the dentist's office I was incredibly nervous. In fact, I was so nervous I started crying. I was petrified that having the procedure done would somehow harm Grace. I realized on the drive to the dentist's office that my life is forever changed. Grace isn't even here yet but she's already a part of me, figuratively and literally. I feel really blessed with the amount of love I have had in my life from my mother to my husband; Fenix, my niece and nephew, my friends, and now Grace. It's like my heart is being opened in an entirely different way. I can't even explain it. I'm just so grateful to have her and now that she's on her way there's no way I can imagine my life without her. In some ways I feel like she was a part of me long before Ken and I even become pregnant. She's not even here yet and Ken and I have already discussed how he'll be walking her down an aisle one day.
*I have an amazing husband. I really do. He has been so good to me. He's taken on so much at the house, especially since my tooth has been bothering me. He's done pretty much all of the cooking and cleaning in these last few weeks. He's rubbed my back constantly to help me fall asleep. He has put up with my temper tantrums (and believe me, I've had them) when I've gotten frustrated over my tooth flaring up. He hasn't been disappointed when I've had to cancel plans or dinner. The bottom line is, he has really taken care of me. I know that's his role as a husband, so I'm not surprised, I'm just so grateful for him. It's not even just these last few weeks, it's how Ken always is. The other day we were doing some quick shopping at the store that he works at and we ran into one of his elderly customers. Ken and introduced us and she told me what a good husband I have and what a great help he is to her. This isn't the first time that this has happened either. I really appreciate my husband's compassion.
*I'm lucky to have the friends that I do. Friends that pray for me when I need it and friends that stop by with a milk shake and to check up on me when I've had a procedure done. I really appreciate my friends. I am very fortunate.
There really is no reason for this post, other than to say that I've been feeling very grateful lately.

2 in the morning!
Well, this is a little rant that I wrote a few nights ago, while waiting for my mouth to feel better. I never ended up finishing it, so I didn't post it. In retrospect it makes me laugh. My intention was to write more than just about my tooth, but I never got that far:)
Two in the morning. Yup, that's right, I am currently blogging at 2 in the morning. For those of you who know me, you know that the act of me blogging at 2 a.m. or really the act of me doing anything other than sleeping at 2 a.m. is beyond absurd. I'm a sleeper. In fact, I'm one of those who generally falls asleep around 10, unless I am actively doing something. By active, I mean up and about active. If I put in a movie then there's a possibility I'm out as early as 9. It's kind of sad really, but I've learned to accepted the fact that I have the sleeping habits of someone twice, possibly three times my age.
So, you are probably thinking what could possibly be worth blogging about at 2 in the morning? Well, to be honest, nothing! However, for the last three days I have gotten nearly no sleep due to a little issue with my wisdom tooth. I've gone from being nearly narcoleptic to an insomniac in a span of three days So, while I wait another two hours until I can take more pain killer, I've decided to blog. About what? Not sure, so I'm going to start with this:
I hate my wisdom teeth! They have NEVER given me trouble until I was pregnant, and even now it's just one of them. I never thought a tooth could cause so much trouble, but let me tell you it has. I am talking pain like I have never felt before! (Yes, I know, I'm going to be experiencing child birth in three months, which I am sure will replace my wisdom tooth on my list of things that have caused me immense pain, but for now, this has probably been the worst pain yet.) Who would have known? It's a tooth for crying out loud! This is pretty much how my day has gone: Crazy pain, lots of salt water, antibiotic every 8 hours, pain killer every 4 (approved by doctor, so it's baby friendly.) Unfortunately for me the pain killer only works for an hour and that is not an exaggeration. So far, I've used that hour to sleep. I'm not sure what I'll do for the remainder of the weekend, because at some point I'm going to need that hour to do something constructive like school work. Right now my mouth is giving me some weird, unexpected reprieve and is only causing me slight pain. I ate a popsicle, which for the time being has helped. I am hoping that by the grace of God, he takes pity on me, and magically makes the antibiotic kick in. If not, I'm hoping my dentist (who I am begging to see me tomorrow) can somehow get me set up for an emergency extraction tomorrow, so that I don't end up in the looney bin.
Enough about my tooth...
