When I was pregnant with William (my 2nd), I had a difficult time sleeping. Joe got me a journal so that I could write things down. Here are a few excerpts.

I have the best husband ever - and the best daughter. I wanted to start writing in a journal because I felt like I was missing things, or rather that I would forget things about Maria. ... I feel like I've already missed writing everything down - like a lifetime of memories and new discoveries has passed and I will forget them. I hope writing helps me remember. There is something new every single day. I LOVE HER. Good night.

It's 3:40 am - can't sleep ...AGAIN. Only 4 weeks until I'm due but probably 6 weeks until the baby arrives. I feel like I'm complaining a lot - wish I could stop because I feel so lucky in life. Joe's up - gonna talk to him. I love him. Night.

Guess what - I can't sleep - shocking. Joe took some maternity pictures of Maria and I. I love them. Can't stop looking at them. I keep waking Joe when I cannot sleep and feel really bad about it Hope this isn't a sign of how this new baby will be at night. I'm going to try to sleep now.

William arrived 11 days past his due date and was a healthy 9lbs, 2oz. Here are a few of my favourite pics.
