So my 5 day weekend is coming to an end... *sigh*. It really was wonderful while it lasted. I am working the next 3 nights, then have 1 night off, then back for 2, then 1 night off, then back again. I am exhausted just thinking about it lol. I get really sad when it comes time to go back to work because that means I won't see Jim again until the night I'm off. The next time I'll see him is Saturday night. :( I get off of work Saturday morning, but he has to work all day. So I'll see him Saturday night, but then Sunday he is volunteering for all of the services at church (he's picking up all of the donated items that the church members will be leaving in the back of their cars... and since I really shouldn't be lifting heavy objects, don't know if I'll stay to volunteer). Then I work again Sunday night. So besides the fact that work is really stressful, not seeing Jim for days at a time just makes me really emotional (probably heightened because of my pregnancy... or at least that's what I'm blaming it on hehe). I feel like I need my daily fix of Jim to get me through the work week, but unfortunately that's just not feasible with our work schedules right now. It makes me envious of couples that get to see each other every night after a long day at work, get to eat dinner together and catch up and then hold each other as they fall asleep in bed. The nights we get to do that I appreciate so much more now. I know I really shouldn't complain because I'm blessed to even have a job, but everyone has their issues and these just happen to be mine at the moment. I hope my pregnant body will be able to keep up until I start my maternity leave when I'm 38 weeks (4 more weeks!). What's getting me through is the light at the end of the tunnel... every day is one day closer to meeting our baby girl! I think about Abigail ALL THE TIME. I am sooo excited for her to be here (so not ready for the no sleep/always tired aspect of it though). I go into her room often and daydream about her being here and what it will be like. It's still hard for me to believe she is inside of me right now. We still haven't gotten a 3D/4D ultrasound done, but don't know of any place that does it in the west valley that is open during a time when we are both available. I want to see what she looks like, but I guess I don't mind waiting until she is actually here and saving the money it would cost to get the ultrasound done. Well it's 3:30A.M. now, so I should really get to sleep. (Working nights really screws up my sleeping schedule on my nights off!)
