Oranges in Bed

Last night Greg and I ate mexican food and then watched TV on the couch together. BHR must have really liked the mexican food because he was bouncing around a lot. Greg and I sat and watched my tummy bounce in and out. It made me laugh each time and we both sort of sat and looked in awe as my stomach moved in and out ... it's weird to think that there's a person in there. Maybe he's pretending to kick a soccer ball or maybe he's trying to play with Greg and I and wants to chit chat about the day.

I woke up around 3:00 this morning, I just couldn't get comfortable. I read one of my pregnancy books and I rested it on my tummy while I held the flashlight. Every few seconds the book would bounce up and BHR was awake. Maybe he wanted me to read to him or maybe he just wanted to play with me.

When I was younger I used to sleep in my mom's bed and she would wake me up in the middle of the night and say "play with me, I'm bored" and I would wake up eventually and she would then say "If you go and get me an orange I'll peel it." So I would go downstairs, get two oranges and some paper towels and we would sit in bed and eat oranges. It may not sound that interesting or entertaining, but I have fond memories of eating oranges with my mom and giggling together in the middle of the night.

I wonder what BHR and I will do? If we'll have a "thing" 0r if we'll sit up and giggle and laugh? I'm not as light of a sleeper as my mom, so maybe I won't wake him up in the middle of the night to eat oranges, but maybe we'll do something else and we can create our "oranges in bed" experience.

He'll wake me up, then I'll wake you up, how about that? Although waking you up really isn't that easy. I should try to get some tips from your mom!
