Working hard.. or hardly working?!

I sit here on my couch listening to the rain outside my open windows.  That is one of my favorite sounds.  So relaxing.  This morning I was once again laying on the couch and had a quick surprising, exciting thought.. "Im having a baby".  It just hasn't fully hit me except in the overwhelming sense.  I haven't started to get crazy excited.  I feel like that too will come with the growing of the belly and being able to actually see this little creation.  

My patience is wearing thin though.  I am tired of feeling unproductive ALL day long.  Yesterday I didn't get one moment where I wasn't feeling good.  Today has been a little better but yet my Martha Stewart ways of wanting the house to perfectly perfect when anyone comes over is long gone.  We have Bible Study over here once a week and the first week I was cleaning all day.. the house was beautiful.. the second week same.  Now that we are into the 7th week I told Adam that we will pick up an hour before they come and that's good enough.  I just don't have the energy to care.  he was wonderful yesterday for dusting for me :)  What a sweetie.  

I never realized what hard work it is creating another human being.. geez. 

Tomorrow we go in at 8:30 to try to hear the babies heartbeat.  I am so nervous.. What if we don't hear it??  I know that it just might take longer but still I am an impatient American and I want to hear it NOW :)

Until then I will continue to sit on the couch but instead of listening to rain (it is now passed)  I will listen to the sound of Zeke (dog)  chasing and pummeling Bacci (cat).  Its always so relaxing to hear a cat hiss for her life. I feel like i have two toddlers in the house already.  

If anyone wants a free, loving, dog-like cat let me know :)
