Fall Fashion and Sleep

It's Back-To-School time and whenever I start hearing school buses drive by, I always start day dreaming about chunky sweaters and boots! I can't help it, I must have lived in the North in a past life or something. Fall/Winter is definitely my favorite time of year and I have a feeling this Fall will be the best one yet. I know I'm crazy, but I have already started shopping for cooler weather clothes. Actually, I thought I should get some post-Owen clothes; cute, comfy but practical outfits for staying at home and caring for a newborn. I also still plan on subbing a few days a month after he gets here, so I 'needed' some work clothes. Here are some of my faves:

This morning, while on People.com, I came across a new kid's line at American Eagle called 77kids! I haven't worn AE since high school, but their kid's clothes are to die for cute. Here are a few of Owen's favorites:

I've been trying not to buy any more maternity clothes (except outfits I will wear at my showers) because I know I won't wear them after he is born. Not sure why, but I would rather put on something that is regular women's but one size too big over something that says 'maternity' on the tag. Hello my name is Haley and I am superficial. Sue me.

With less than 9 weeks to go (hopefully less than that!!) I am SUPER anxious for Owen to be here... of course I can't wait to hold him, stare at him and just be a family, but I am also really excited about dressing him up. I go in his closet at least 2 times a week and put together outfits in my head. It's fun.

Sleep is a little harder to come by these days. Once I fall asleep, I'm good. It's the having-to-pee-every-5-minutes that is keeping me up. The other night I had JUST fallen asleep when I feel an elbow-punch in my back. My husband is a 'sleep talker' and also a 'sleep twitcher'. The thing is, when he grabs me (usually my behind) or starts talking to me (usually about something random) he stays asleep. Therefore, I am the only one awake and annoyed. So, I have decided that when he wakes me up accidently, I talk loud enough to also wake him up. I finally fell back asleep after he elbowed me and about 2 hours later, I feel a hand grab my butt. This time, I wasn't having it. I grab his hand and yell, "JER STOP GRABBING MY A**!! NO MORE WINE BEFORE BED." He (of course) has no idea what he did and no idea why I'm yelling at him. He says sorry and rolls over.

I apologized the next morning for my outburst, but when all I want to do is have a few more weeks of peaceful sleeping and my husband is waking me up groping me, I get a little upset. Does anyone else's significant other have this problem?

Well, off to do laundry and get ready for sub-training tomorrow!!

XOXO Haley
