36 weeks

ANNNND, I'm miserable. The weather here has been quite nice - and normally I would welcome the warmth. But Pregnant Alison doesn't care too much for it. I could probably tolerate it a little better if my allergies weren't making me completely miserable. Everything is blooming now, and my sinuses do not approve. I'm doing my best to avoid taking any medications that I don't need to, because We've only got 4 more weeks. So, I can handle it. I think.

My belly is growing ever-bigger, and I am quite uncomfortable about 90% of the time. I'm not sleeping well. I can't bend over. I can't breathe. I feel like a big ball of misery to be around. Thankfully, David and Eli seem to be able to handle it, because they aren't complaining too much.

We put a few more things in the nursery this weekend, and now it's looking much more like a baby's room than a catch-all. We just need to finish getting the bedding in the crib, put the Submarine up on the wall, and paint some bubbles... It doesn't seem like a lot, but whoa, does it.

Daddy brought up Eli's old 0-6 month clothes last night. I plan on going through them at some point this week and rewashing them so I can get them put away. Looking through some of it, I see we're going to have to buy a few more things than we thought. Having kids in 2 completely opposite seasons is kind of a bummer. At least we have some things that will work for the first month or 2, depending on how big he is when he arrives.

We still don't have a name. But, We've got a good list going, I think. Hopefully we'll have it picked out soon - but we still do not plan on announcing it until he's born. Until then, we will call him Google Farkas (which Eli thinks is hilarious. So hilarious, that he tells complete strangers that we might be naming his Baby Brother that...)
