Beautiful Dawn

I just have James Blunt's song in my head and I hate thinking up titles for these blogs. I had a terrible sleep last night. I dreampt twice that someone was trying to kill me. I think it is because we saw a true crime show before we went to bed and also on One Tree Hill last night, Peyton's stalker was trying to kill or rape her and it was like one of those stupid Horror movies where the helpless girl keeps running through the house while the psycho guy never dies no matter what. I have gotten into that show, but it is so unrealistic. However, Thursday nights I have a full tv schedule as after One Tree Hill is the latest season of the OC. I also like Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives. And now Grey's Anatomy and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
So I am at 38 and a half weeks. The baby could come any day now. I wake up every morning with sore hips and ass. It is super uncomfortable to sleep. David and I switched sides last night on the bed cuz we wanted to leave our door open and the light from Emil's bedroom was bothering me. I think that is another reason I had such disturbing dreams. We are going to Haifa tonight to his sister Miri's for shabbat. We have spent a ton of time at other people's places this week, due to Passover. I hate matzoh. On top of it all, I felt sick this morning and was in the bathroom for like half an hour throwing up. It was awful. I woke up at 4 in the morning hungry so I got up and ate matzoh and hummus. I don't know if the cramps I feel are gas pains or contractions. At least if I go into labour tonight, I will be with David's sister who has 4 kids of her own. The baby can be born in the same hospital that David was. It is so weird that the baby could come at any moment. I had a moment of excitement the other day. I was lying in bed and thinking about the fact that the baby could come any time now and I had butterflies in my tummy. Like the feeling you get on Christmas eve, as you're waiting for Santa to come and deliver your presents. It is exciting.
We had 6 teenage girls here for two days, ranging in age from 13 to 19. It is so amazing to see teenage girls again. They spent an awful lot of time in the bathroom doing their makeup and hair and picking out the right outfits just to go to the market in the afternoon and then retouching in the evening to go to a movie. These are religious girls too. I was never like that as a teenager, spending hours and hours on my appearance. So it is strange for me to see that. I still am not like that. I have the shortest nails because I keep picking them and could use an eyebrow plucking and a pedicure and manicure and facial and mustache waxing. I had done what I like to call housekeeping when I was in Canada, but now it is 3 and a half months later and I feel like the unibomber. Oh well. What the hell, I am married. Who needs to look good??? Just kidding. I used to like to do all these things for me and only for me. I still do. David never says to me why don't you cut your hair or get your nails done or blah blah blah. He tells me all the time how beautiful I am and even more so since I have been pregnant. I think he is delusional, because I don't feel so beautiful. Most of the time I am too tired to put make up on, and stuff. Yesterday I did my makeup and hair. It was like a miracle!! I kind of miss it. Plus it is harder to reach my legs to shave and other grooming stuff...
So this is just an update. Hopefully the baby will come soon so I can report on the birth...
Love
Me
