23 days...5 days...8 days...

I have multiple things to count down to in my future days.
     1.) Tonight after work - going to the movies with Bobby for an early Valentines Day together.  Bobby's mom and step dad are coming to spend the evening with Riley pants.
     2.) Tomorrow - Bobby's mom's birthday...I know he wants to spend time with her, and I know Riley and I do too.  She has been so great through out our whole relationship and has been good to me through the last of this pregnancy, too.
     3.)  Monday -  Valentine's Day.  Well I'm not looking forward to this day...I have to work...BOO...but I'm really stressing about money right now since my power bill was outrageous this past month.  But at least we figured out the problem and that's fixed, so hopefully next month it won't be like that.
     4.)  Tuesday - dinner with Bobby to finish up our Valentine's together.  I'm not sure where we are going, somewhere nice but on the cheaper end.  Either way, I can't wait.  We have been planning to spend time together every Tuesday the past month, but something ALWAYS comes up whether it is an emergency doctor's visit or some other doctor's appointment at night because something happens to Riley or I.  LOL...we are a mess.
     5.)  Wednesday - 5 days away from my little man turning 2.  I can't believe it! It's sad, but at the same time pretty cool.  He is starting to get to the point where he has his own tastes of likes and dislikes and I love to watch him learn and grow.
     6.)  8 days away from Riley's birthday party at the gym.  Not many people will be there, but the ones who will be there is what matters.  He just does not have any friends his own age.  He does gymnastics with kids, but that's once a week and it's hard to make friends to people he sees only once a week for 45 minutes.  But that's okay.  I know Jordan is coming, and he adores Jordan, so he has someone he can play with.
     7.)  Last but not least...23 days until my due date.  I keep hoping that she will come a.s.a.p. but to be honest with you, I just want her healthy.  I have 3 weeks-ish left and I know it's at a safe point where she can come, but if she is not ready, then I"ll wait.  I just can't wait to have her in my arms, and be able to cuddle her.  I'm super excited.  I'm to the point where i feel miserable all of the time, that's why I have been on count down for the past 9 months it seems.  lol.  While there have been no major complications, this pregnancy has been harder than my last.

It's an early morning for Riley...He went to bed late and woke up early.  I ended up putting a rocking chair back in his room, since going to bed is catastrophic to him at the moment.  At least I can read a book and rock while he gets ready to fall asleep.  I have two huge books, that have hundreds of stories, so I can read them to him or I can just read to myself.  Either way, I'm hoping this will help with him going to sleep at night.  I just hope it doesn't make the separation anxiety worse because when I have the baby I won't be able to always do it in the future.  But then again, I was thinking that this could be part of mommy/Riley time at night where I put the baby down first, then I put him down and spend some time with him so he doesn't feel left out.  Time will tell what I need to do.
