On vacation Nadia got in the habit of getting up between 5:00-5:30 almost every day. Since we have been home she's been waking up between 5:15-5:45. Well yesterday she didn't wake up until 6:25, and this morning she woke up at 6:50. WOOHOO! I really am grateful for a little extra sleep especially since I stayed up until 10pm last night (later than usual for me) to finish reading a book after I got home from choir rehearsal. As expected, I have less energy than usual these days, so getting after 6am is greatly appreciated!! Some days I have taken a nap during one of Nadia's naps (which I hadn't done for months), but usually I feel I have too much I need to do during her naps. I hope this trend of her sleeping longer at night continues! She had been getting about 10.5 hours of sleep at night on average, and the last 2 nights it's been at least 11 and getting closer to 12 hours! Her naps have been at 8am and noon lately, but in light of her getting up later I am trying to shift her toward 9am and 1pm. Of course I made my 10am u/s appt for next Tues with an 8am nap in mind, LOL.
While we were on vacation I received an acceptance from NAEYC. I had submitted a proposal in December for their next conference which will be in November in DC. I attended this early childhood conference (along with at least 20,000 other people) two years ago in Chicago (where I was when I found out I was pg with Nadia). It's the only conference I had submitted a proposal for the upcoming academic year. Now that I'm expecting another baby, I am very glad I'm not scheduled to speak anywhere next spring. I usually attend at least one conference every spring, but I am definitely glad I don't have any such plans for spring 2010. I am so grateful that I have family members living near two cities where many conventions are held (DC and Chicago)! It makes it possible for me to take Nadia with me. :-)Have I mentioned how much I love being a mommy? There are so many precious moments along the way. Usually when we play peekaboo, I cover and uncover my face OR I cover Nadia's face and she uncovers herself. Well yesterday I put the Steeler blanket over my face and waited for her to pull it off. She thought it was SOOO funny. I love hearing her laugh!!!

Did the picture disappear from your computer? Sometimes when you edit a photo, it gets saved to a different location on your hard drive than the folder where you originally downloaded the photos. You could try searching for it by date instead of by folder location...Just a thought.
I was just remembering back when I was pg with Lydia, we didn't hear a hb at 10w, and we had to wait till 14w to hear a hb! (since my pg wasn't monitored so closely) It was such a relief to finally hear it and I finally believed that, yes, we were going to have a baby! Looking forward to Tuesday for you...
