Daily Loving

What another beautiful day to wake up to. How lovely to be alive right now. With all this free time, I am finally catching up to doing things I love to do without feeling guilty for neglecting to write work reports (since I’m all done with those darn reports!). I’ve been drawing a lot lately, and doodling (as you can see from all the new website designs I’ve been making). I’ve caught the doodling bug.

Dave and I have been sleeping very, very late these past few weeks, since we can. Since we’re both on our leave, we’ve very quickly resorted back to our old night owl ways. Neither of us are morning people, and we become our most creative after the sun comes down. This was troubling four our creative side when we were both working, since we had to go to bed early to wake up early. But now, it seems like we do our best artsy and project work after midnight. Hence, we each go to bed around 4am or 5am. Sometimes Husband doesn’t even hit the sack until about 8am. (That’s when I get breakfast in bed.. hee hee.) So now people don’t hear from us until at least well after 1p or 2p. And then the day starts all over. Interestingly, we both thrive on being vampires. Weird, huh? At least it’ll be easier for us to wake up in the middle of the night after Bean is born, to feed and keep her company and coax her and stuff when she’s crying.

I am so excited for Bean. This Saturday is her due date, and we have no way of telling if she’s going to be here before then, or after. We shall see. Last night she was very, very active, kicking up a storm. Dave saw all the tumbling and rolling around, and at some points, she even had her limbs out — a fist here or a foot there. It was so cool!
