As I mentioned in the last post, Brady and I planned to spend Saturday in Edmonton at Ikea. Our alarm was going to go off at 5:30am.
I woke up in the middle of the night with my ridiculously itchy legs that I tend to get in pregnancy. I clawed them to shreds for WAY too long before I decided to get up and go to the bathroom before trying to get more sleep. As I left our room, I heard something from the kids room. It was Dekker. He was sitting up, talking loud and animated. Being that it was absurdly early for him to be even a little bit awake, I ducked in and shut him down. I went to the bathroom after that, and on my way back to our room, I checked the wall clock downstairs. It was 5:25am. I decided to not be the dead weight I usually am in the morning, and I headed back to the bathroom. I turned the light on bright, washed up, brushed my teeth, put on a full face of makeup, and made a big effort to wake myself up.
On my way back to the bedroom, I heard Dekker STILL talking. So once again, I ducked into their room and told him I was sorry he had woken up, and I knew he was excited to be at grandma and grandpas house, but he was going to wake everyone up, and then be too tired to play. He agreed to “try” to be quiet, and I closed their door.
When I got back into our room, I whispered to Brady that I was going to turn on the Christmas lights to wake him gently. He asked what time it was, and I said it was later than he had wanted to get up, but not to worry, that I was up and could be really helpful in getting us out the door on time. And then he checked his phone. And it was 4:00am.
Quick side note. I have NEVER used that wall clock ever, and clearly I am not the only one, because I believe its been pretty out of commission for quite some time. Whoops! Now I know, lol!
So I lay in bed until 5:30am, wide awake, as I had a sick and snoring husband to one side of me and a talking four year old through the wall on the other side. Definitely wasn’t my best morning.
Brady and I debated not going to Ikea this morning, but I’m SO glad we did! We had SO much fun getting excited about our upcoming build, and doing some planning and organizing. But THOSE are the stories I’ll save for tomorrow. I hope you all are already sleeping well! I sure have plans to sleep tonight, wooee! Do I ever!
