I did quite a bit of work around the house yesterday and must have been a little over-tired so I had one of my infamous nights sleeping. I woke Victoria and the baby (see his/her posting below) because I swore that there was a snake in the bed. Half of you are thinking — what is he talking about. The other half know about my “sleep issues”.

Spiders, snakes, ghosts, etc… have a tendency to cause sleep problems for me and Victoria (seeing I always wake her up). I’ve had them since I was a kid and they come and go — usually tied to me being overtired or eating something before heading to bed (at least that is what I tell my mother). The truth is ever since my Mom dressed up in a white sheet and jumped out of a closet at my Grandmother’s house when I was 5 or 6, I have never slept soundly. 😉

As far as the baby “complaining” about not getting any sleep. I am sure Victoria and I will have plenty of sleepless nights come January, February, March, etc…

After my 2am snake wake-up call we went back to bed. Sometime later that morning, I heard Victoria trying to get out of bed and I guess I still wasn’t sound asleep but was not fully awake. I got up and helped her out of bed. Then I helped her into the bathroom. We walked slowly to the bathroom with me holding her tight so she would not fall. You would have thought she was 9 months pregnant and incapable of walking by the way I was helping her into the bathroom.

We had a good laugh about it this evening when she reminded me of the snake and the bathroom visit.

Hoping for a good night sleep tonight…

For some reason at 2am this morning, Daddy woke up and sprung out of bed. Mommy and I did not know what to do.

Daddy told Mommy to get out of bed because there was a snake in the bed. Then Daddy ripped the covers off of the bed looking for the slithery creature. Nothing.

Mommy’s snoogle was still on the bed and Daddy turned his attention to it. He quickly grabbed it and slung it off the bed. Again, NOTHING.

By this point, Mommy realized what was going and started to calm Daddy down and told him it was OK and nothing was in the bed. Daddy said he was sorry and climbed back into bed (like nothing happened).

Dad — you think you can keep it down next time, I am trying to sleep in here. 😉

Baby Woodruff

Victoria is at 20 weeks now and is half way there. She is definitely getting bigger and is at 115 lbs this week. The doctor said they will begin measuring her belly at our next visit in October.

We picked up the snoogle at Babies R Us for Victoria a few days ago and she loves it.  Between the baby and the snoogle, I think my days of snuggling with Victoria are over.  😉

36 hours and counting…

I have figured how to update this blog from my cell phone, so I hope to give you guys an update on the sex of the baby between 10-10:30am on Monday.

So if the baby cooperates and the doctor is pretty confident, I will send an update from my cell phone so you can have the news as quick as possible.

Keep checking back on Monday…

Victoria and I went to the doctor for her monthly check-up and everything was fine.  Her blood pressure is excellent and her weight is up to 115 pounds now.

We heard the baby’s heartbeat again and the doctor said it is between 150 and 156 bpm.   Girl or boy?

Victoria worked at Banana Republic yesterday and said her feet were a little swollen.  They have returned to normal today and the doctor said that is normal.  Her wedding ring is getting a little tight as well, so she may need to remove it in the coming weeks.

We are anxiously waiting for Monday (the ultrasound).   I’ll try to get some new pics of the Mom to be shortly.

Less than a week until we have our 3rd ultrasound which hopefully will reveal whether Baby Woodruff is a boy or a girl.  I’ve been doing some thinking on the boy’s name and have a couple of names that I like.  I haven’t shared them with anyone as of yet but did mention one of them to Victoria this evening on our walk.

Everyone is saying how it is going to be a boy, but I am not too sure.  It is funny how one person will say “she’s carrying high”, so it is a boy.  Then another will say, “she’s carrying low so it is a boy”.  How’s that possible?!?!?!  Maybe there’s two and she carries high one week and low the next.  Victoria’s parents are betting on a boy and my mom has now switched on me and says she believes it is a girl.  Victoria seems to have bought into the whole “boy idea”.  It will be interesting come next Monday.

Maybe we should check the odds in Las Vegas.  😉
