Can it be September, please?

For so, so many reasons, I want it to just be September. I want to meet our little boy, mostly, but I also am really ready to sleep again. And be comfortable again. I'm updating at 5:50 in the morning, and I've been up for well over an hour, not including the intermittent waking through the night for various reasons. It's so frustrating because the one thing I feel like I NEED right now is sleep, and I can't even get 5 hours in without waking up in severe pain. I'm tempted to start taking the Unisom I have left from first trimester to see if it can help me sleep through some of it, but anything with a sleep aid knocks me out something fierce. I'm honestly afraid I'd pee myself or something because I was too drugged to realize I needed to get up and go to the bathroom. Pregnancy is SO glamorous.

My first baby shower is in four days and for some reason, I feel nervous about it. I have no idea why. I think part of it is that I don't really like being the center of attention, so having everyone sit and watch me open gifts makes me feel a little self-conscious. But, on the upside, a huge amount of DH's family will be there and we don't get to see them all that often, so that'll be cool. (On the downside, DH and all the guys are going to go see "The Dark Knight Rises" in IMAX and I am wicked jealous.) I also am kind of afraid I'll cry a ridiculous amount during the shower. I'm already incredibly sleep deprived and emotional, and cute tiny baby things just mess me up. At least I have an excuse, right?

I am literally thanking God that the weather has cooled off some. Days in the low-to-mid-90s are so much nicer than 110 degree days. Our A/C unit was really working overtime there for a while, and I think it's able to keep up much better now. We've even had a couple days where the high was 81 degrees, and it was fantastic. Now if the humidity would die down, we'd be good to go. Again...I'm ready for fall. Pumpkins and boots and cardigans and cool weather and colors everywhere...it's definitely my favorite season ever!
