April Fools Day INDEED

As many mothers know, the baby in the house is often the source one uses as an alarm clock. Gone are the days of my annoying cell phone beeping at me (because No, I don't have to be up before my son in order to get ready for work). So as you might know I have grown quite accustom to whining noises, or crib shaking sounds to get me out of my nice warm, comfortable bed.
Well this morning has been quite different. It must be April Fools Day. I battled all night with my husbands SNORING sounds (he is a little stuffed up right now), and though I got a decent nights sleep, I woke to the sounds of thunder like breathing next to me, and although it was NOT early by any means, I still have a long day ahead of me and do NOT have time for a nap which means this pregnant lady likes to take advantage of every moment of shut eye she can. So after numerous attempts to silence the thunder, I finally decided to get up and eat.
Eating is also SUCH a CHORE for me lately. Especially breakfast, I absolutely hate trying to decide what to put into my body after an 8 hour fast (or longer). So the one thing that gives me enough energy for my day oddly enough is the one thing I cannot stomach. EGGS. So while lying in bed this morning to my surprise guess what Ashley craves. Fried eggs. It must be April Fools Day.
Now on those rare occasions where I get out of bed before my "alarm clock" sounds, one little movement from me or the sound of me going downstairs alerts the "alarm clock" that he should have been up hours ago and I don't even get half way down the stairs before he lets me know he too is ready to start his day. But as I sit here typing this post, I have already fried my eggs, toasted my toast, chowed down and had two glasses of water. I made it almost all the way through my post before Kevin decided to wake up. It really MUST be April Fools Day.
I'm okay with it though, I am feeling fine about this April day.

That doesn't sound so bad. Eggs huh? Blech! I couldn't stand the things when I was prego. Isn't it crazy what appeals to one person and what appeals to another? Sheesh!

Last year on April Fools Day, I was having my ultrasound to find out what gender Henry was and my doc played a joke on me! But i was happy with the real news:) Boys are awesome.

Bummer about the Thunder in your ear! That's nice to have a quiet morning to yourself sometimes. (Even though I too would rather sleep!)
