jitters?

I think I overdid it on Friday.

It was a busy day at school, but I'm feeling the added pressure of wanting to wrap things up with classes, finish grading and plans.  I'm waiting on my work visa/resident permit so I don't get shipped off to Serbia for the birth.  Tolga and I are both nervous about the possibility that he'll have to be out-of-town.  In the front of my mind are things to do for the baby too: wash clothes, set up 2nd crib in our room, prepare hospital bag, find a book about what to do with a newborn . . .

We are both excited and nervous and excited and nervous.

Friday I came home with a headache and it stayed with me all night until the early hours of the morning.  I dreamed all night of our baby's hands and feet - feeling them through my belly.  I slept on and off for maybe 14 hours.  Had breakfast, and took another two hour nap.

I'm kind of impressed.
