Hey there little blog o' mine. It's been awhile. But not to worry, I haven't completely forgotten you.
You see I've been busy. I'm now a mother of three. THREE!
All under the age of 4. Yes, we are crazy.
But thanks to the awesomeness of my super husband we are making it all work with minimal tears and a few hours of sleep each night. Oh boy, is he great. Where I have been slacking off, he's picked up and just did it without conplaints. All the while, learning another language. A relatively hard language. One where there is no Rosetta Stone to fall back on. I know his brain is just worn out after spending hours upon hours in language training. But as soon as his feet hit the doorway he keeps on going and becomes Mr. Mom. What a trooper, I love him so.
I didn't intend for this to become a gush-fest about the dear Hubs but I can't help it. He took the day off today so that I could rest and have a little quiet time. So right now he is out with the two "big" kids on an adventure and I'm sitting in my pajamas enjoying a cup of a coffee with the hum of the baby swing in the background. Wonderful.
No one is jumping around on the couch beside me. I am able to actually put my mug down beside me without the fear of a kid getting scalded accidentally. And I'm not constantly raising a hand to protect my c-section incision line*. I love my kids but being a human jungle gym does get old sometimes. Especially, since I've now developed a little infection at the corner of the incision and it is tender to the touch.
So thanks to my husband, I'm enjoying the little things in life this morning and I think that is just what the doctor ordered.

Waiting....
Waiting, waiting and waiting some more. My due date is 8 days away but I thought for sure this baby was going to be early. Now I'm beginning to wonder when this Little Gal is going to make her appearance.
Doc informed me yesterday that I'm 3cm dialated. Last week I was at 2cm. At this rate I just might go overdue, which is the last thing I want. If I don't deliver before the 24th, then a C-section it will be. Induction is too risky for a VBAC so surgery is the only option. That is my biggest worry at this point. I don't want another cesarean if I can avoid it.
This baby just has to come soon because I don't think I can take the waiting much longer. We've had family here for almost 3 weeks, and although it's nice to have an extra set of hands around the house, I am ready to have the house back to ourselves again. I don't mind the extra cooking (aside from dealing with pickiness) and the extra laundry but feeling like I need to keep them from getting bored, gets old real quick.
I think what I need is a few quiet days in the hospital. If only this baby would feel the same way!

The countdown is on....
The countdown is on. The clock is ticking away. Baby Girl will make her arrival into the world in less than 10 weeks.
I'm sure there are many moms out there that can relate to what I'm feeling lately. It is getting harder and harder to manuever this belly of mine around. It seems to be getting noticeably bigger by the day. The kids, especially the Little Guy have a tendency to treat the baby bulge like it is their own personal playgym; romping, wallowing and rolling around my mid-section. That gets old REAL quick. And then there is the issue of trying to get a decent nights' sleep. It is just not happening at this point. I am uncomfortable and just ready for the big day to get here.
But here is where the Catch-22 comes in. I feel like I have a list of projects a mile long and the time is running out to complete them all before the Baby gets here. Most of them are uncompleted projects that I haven't been able to get finished in the past few years. The house we are renting right now has a perfect layout for me to splatter out what I'm working on and not have to pack it away each night. We are set to move again this August and I have no idea what kind of house we'll end up in. It might be so small that everything has to remain packed away. So I feel like I absolutely HAVE TO take advantage of the time and set up I have right now to get some of this crap crossed off my to-do list. And so I wish that the Baby's due date was more than 10 weeks away.
I need to get organized and really buckle down before March comes around. And with that said, now that the kids are down for naptime I'm off to the basement to see what I can get done in the next hour or so.
