Too Crazy To Post
Things have been way to busy and crazy since I found out that number four is on the way to post. I was in shock, have been tired and sick, and had to get ready for Jamaica. Then I had to deal with the return to the real world after Jamaica.
Jamaica was awesome. My girlfriend's wedding was beautiful. We had such a good time. The groom's parents sprung for a great party after the wedding. It was a very good trip. All of my friends came back red as lobsters, I don't even look like I went. That is the beauty of SPF 45! I had to stay protected from the sun because the hormones that are raging when you are pregnant can cause permanent brown spots if you get too much sun. Happily, I got none!
So it is back to real life. I had a "viability scan" on Monday, which is basically a sonogram to make sure everything is okay with the baby and to determine gestational age. We saw the heart beating and confirmed that there is only one baby in there. According to the sonogram, I think my due date will be January 12. Still have no idea where we will be putting the baby when it is born.
All week I have been trying to get back into the swing of things. Each day I have had something to do though. Yesterday was a Nursery School work day where we clean the room and all of the toys and pack everything away for the summer. Today, I have to go to the grocery and deliver my son's "campout" gear to school. They are having a campout in his first grade classroom. He was absent from school yesterday due to stomach issues, so I missed the reminder notice. His teacher called this morning to remind me and let me know by what time I had to get the stuff up there. He has a great teacher. I just love her. She always goes the extra mile to make sure he is included in everything in spite of his allergies.
So, I am only 3/4 of the way unpacked and I have a ton of laundry to do. It will all get done. I have realized that if I can't handle the house with three children, I definitely won't be able to handle it with four. So what is more important? Raising happy, healthy children, or having a clean floor? I am going to do my best to enjoy this pregnancy and take care of myself. When I am feeling sick and really tired I am going to rest. And if that means that the laundry has to wait and the toilet doesn't get cleaned today then so be it.
Well, off I go to wake the sleeping baby, get to the grocery and the school. I hate that I always have to interrupt the baby's naps. It is so unfair to her. I guess it is that way with most third children.
