9 long weeks and 5 long days left (not to mention I will probably be 2 weeks late)

You take things for granted until you can't do them, like breathe! If I could get a few really good breaths in right now I would be content. Maybe I am trying too hard but damn, baby sure is pushing on that diaphragm.
I have been having trouble sleeping lately, not falling asleep until 3 or 4am, and then I get woken up at around 7am by the baby. The movements are just getting more intense, I feel like I am going to wake up one day and there's just going to be a baby that's sitting on the bed waving and not even in my uterus anymore!
The baby's room in painted, yay! Jason painted it. My back has been killing me and I ended up sleeping for several hours yesterday because of the pain, and he got the whole room finished. I will take pictures at some point. It's really pretty green! Now I can start gathering random things to decorate it with, slowly. I used to want the room finished right away, but now I'd rather take my time getting it just right. I mean, I have so much time before I am actually going to use it! It will be a fun little project. After we get a car we can get the dresser and rug, but right now car is the most important thing. Gotta be able to get the baby home somehow!
I put the co-sleeper together and it's perfect. Perfect size, perfect color, and perfect height! We'll surely be able to use it for 6 months at least! It looks smaller in the store but once it's next to our bed it's great. I like how portable it is too, setting it up took like 5 minutes. Good if we ever need to travel, I'm sure at some point we will go to OK with the baby.
I believe our baby shower is going to be around May 24th. I have to talk to my friend who is throwing it for us. It's going to be a casual unisex cookout type deal with veggie fajitas (yum!) and a bunch of yummy snacks. More details as they come!
I had a small 6oz. (I'm guessing it was 6oz.) cup of beer last night and it was delicious.

No sleep til baby

What an awful night last night. First off, I did a lot of work around the house yesterday, I totally tired myself out. I moved a bunch of stuff, switched the closets, made makeshift closet curtains. I just did a lot, I was probably doing all this for at least 5 hours. So naturally I fell asleep on the couch at like 9pm while watching TV. I woke up at 10, jumped in the shower, then got in bed. I was so tired but I couldn't fall asleep right away so I played some sudoku for a little while. Eventually I feel asleep. Now, last night was the first night it became super uncomfortable for me to sleep. My stomach is big enough now that it gets in the way, and it also causes some serious backache, because of the backaches I have to sleep on my side with a pillow between my legs, then I sleep with another pillow placed under my boobs and part of my belly. Normally this is fine, but last night it just wasn't. I had to keep switching sides (which is a pain in the ass when you have to move all the pillows you places so carefully with you), nothing was comfortable, my body started getting super achey to the point that it just didn't feel good to turn over. It just sucked. I also woke up every couple of hours, so I don't think I really got much sleep at all.
Today my whole body is just as sore as it was yesterday, if not more. I also have a headache, and it takes all of my energy to get up from a laying down position. I've been in bed since I woke up, just cause I feel like crap.
