ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

As a child, nothing seems more horrible as taking time out of your busy play schedule than to take a nap, especially as age 4 or 5 nears. Then, as college draws near, naps become a bit more tangible, and then, there is being pregnant! Nothing is better than to find even 15 minutes to lay down and just rest, just to feel like you can carry on the rest of the day.

Today, Jovey was having a hard time getting settled for her nap time (she's never been a great napper), so I laid beside her and we both fell asleep finally for a little over an hour. Oh, I could have slept so much longer, but her internal alarm rang out loud and clear, "time to go out and play!" So, even though it was one of those naps where you almost feel worse after the extra zzzzz's, I know that Baby Mac and my body were both super thankful for the extra rest!

hmm... maybe it is in the water (although, i am guessing it is just the nice weather) b/c both my kiddos cried for the first ever when I told them it was naptime today. Glad you got in a little snooze... hopefully she will let you steal a few more zzz's before baby sis arrives..

love ya and miss yoU!

Now, if we could just do something about my uncomfortable, sleepless nights spent tossing to find comfortable position and of course, the numerous trips to the bathroom! ha ha! Ahh, the joys of pregnancy! Can't wait to hold this beautiful little lady in my arms instead of on my organs and back nerves. :-)
