Early...

So I have been up since about 3:3o AM. I have started getting contractions, not the real kind but the practice kind. Sometimes I can sleep through them but most times I can't. Weird side note lately said practice contractions are accompanied by hunger. So I got up and ate a little something and here I sit hoping I can get back to sleep.
Besides the contractions I had a my dog's head tucked under my booty! Which was also a tad awkward and uncomfortable.
Max then got up with me and proceeded to nestle down in my lap. He has been at my side all morning. I worry that when the baby comes he won't understand that he is still my baby just I have someone else who is a little less self sufficient to deal with.
Since I have started working part time and especially since I have become pregnant he and I have bonded even more than we were before. Even though I had my cats first Max is my little sweetie. Which is even funny to type since he is a 95 lb. lab. But he is. He makes me feel safe and secure which is huge for me and he is a character.
Aside from hanging w/Max I have been watching the local morning show. Wow it takes them a good 1/2 hour to wake up and lighten up. The show starts and 5 and what a difference 30 minutes makes. When I first turned it on they all looked like they had just sucked on lemons and small talk was strained to say the least. Now they are smiling and joking ...
I suppose I hear one more doughnut calling my name then I am going to try and go back to bed just in time for my husband to wake up.
Here is hoping one of these early mornings I will be up because a baby is coming ...
