Oh happy day!

It's amazing what a breathing treatment for asthma and a good nights sleep will do for you! Today, I am in a better mood than I have been in days. I feel blessed to be pregnant and happy to have gotten a good night's sleep. I think it is all due to the breathing treatment I got. Apparently, most of the day Sunday and yesterday in the morning, I was in the throws of an asthma attack. I used the albuterol inhaler - which made things better for a couple of hours - but then I'd have to use it again. Being afraid what the side effects of the meds would be on Bryson, I called up my mid-wife yesterday. She immediately sent me for a breathing treatment. OH MAN what a difference! I could get a full breath of air. And I still can! I think that is what helped me sleep through the night (with the exception of the three potty breaks) - but I fell right back asleep! I just wonder if I would have had this treatment earlier in the pregnancy if I would have enjoyed it that much more.

That being said - I am loving feeling Bryson move and kick. It was amazing when J finally felt him move. He loves when she reads to him - he starts moving around and kicking. I think that is going to wind up being a favorite pasttime between those two. Mama J's reading time :) She can do that in the rocking chair she is currently staining (picture included in this post!)

Little by little we are getting our home ready for our baby. J has been staining and going through drawers. I have been trying to clean - and tonight I will complete the drawer empty-fest and then J can move the armoir into Bry's room. Once that piece of furniture is in there, I can start organizing his clothes and getting his room set up - along with the cat's new area. Sometimes I feel like I can't do a lot with this belly and all - but I'm trying to do what I can to help get ready. I think one thing I will do this week is getting all of the outlet plugs into the open outlets and cleaning off old stuffed animals (if that is possible!)

All in all - this is a very happy time. I am so anxious and exciting to meet our little one. We are just about 10 weeks away max from seeing his tiny fingers and toes. Ah - the joys of a great night's sleep :)
