Nesting

So I've been home for about 2 hours now, and I've been "nesting." Meaning I picked up the living room, finally threw away really old junk mail that has been piled on the table, and cleaned up the kitchen.

I had an OB appointment today.  I almost broke into tears while waiting for the doctor.  Mom went with me because Clint and Amy left today for Indy.  After sitting there for almost an hour, I went up to the receptionist and asked how much longer the waitt was going to be.  That's when they told me that she had left to go deliver a baby. They wanted me to reschedule.  At this point my eyes welled up, and I asked if there was any way that I could see another OB Doctor.  They went to find out.  I was really stressed out and wanted to cry because I had taken off work to come to the doctor.  After about 15 more minutes of waiting they called me back.  (Side Note: I haven't been sleeping well at night, and was starting to worry about the baby because I am exhausted all the time.)  That's when they told me that Dr. Cobbinah was back and that she could see me.  That made me extremely happy.

Mom got to hear the heartbeat today.  She lit up.  Today is her wedding anniversary.  My dad and her have been married for 31 years.  I guess that was my gift to her.  The doctor informed me that I have to slow down.  She told me that I have to start relaxing the minute I get home.  And that by 8pm I need to be laying down somewhere resting.  I can take Tylenol PM to help me sleep, so I'm looking forward to taking that and getting a good night's sleep.

The house is very quiet.  I actually plugged in our "rabbit" ears into the TV tonight.  I needed something to fill the house with noise.  It's nice to have the house to myself, but at the same time I miss Clint something fierce.  Yesterday I was crying on my way home because I missed him, and just wanted to be with him.  Last week I was gone from Sunday to Wednesday. Worked in the classroom Thursday and Friday.  Saturday and Sunday we were with our families.  Monday I started back to work which means I'm leaving at 6:30 and not coming home until almost 5.  He had class Monday night so no Clint.  Last night we had open house until 8.  I met 5 of my students, but I didn't get out of there until after 8 which put me home at almost nine.  My drive takes about 30 minutes. Yesterday I was there for 13 hours.   It really sucked because I knew that Clint would be leaving today, and I just wanted to be with him.  He held me all night because he was missing me just as much.

Tomorrow will be a long day as well because it's another open house.  We get to leave early on Friday, so that will be  nice.  I'm going to Knob this weekend so that I don't have to spend it alone.  I have Shannon's bridal shower this weekend, and Geoff flies in.  Sunday will be my day that I look forward to because Clint comes home.

They did make it to Indy okay.  Amy's ears won't pop on the airplane, but she finally got adjusted.  I told her to chew gum on the way home.

Well, I'm going to take some dirty clothes downstairs, and then go up to the bedroom.  I'm got some clean clothes to put away that Clint did yesterday.  I think I'm going to put clean sheets on the bed too.  That will feel nice tonight!
