Efficient

Holden managed to "pack" about 10 boxes in the time it took me to pack one this morning.  There was no stopping this kid.  I expect it to take me about an hour to undo the damage of his "packing", but it was totally worth it.  

Normally, the organized person in me would be having an aneurysm at watching him distribute Legos one by one into various boxes, but not so much today.  The reason for this is twofold.
1)  That organized person has pretty much been in hiding since the beginning of this pregnancy.
2)  Earlier today Holden informed me that he is "growing bigger and bigger each day."  Yes you are, my child.    Yes you are...

Be Mine

Reo is going to clean my house for me.

My sister brought over cherry hearts and cookies.

Holden was extra sweet and cuddly.

The most Valentine's Day enthusiasm I could muster was looking at Pinterest to see if I had pinned anything that I could accomplish without leaving the house (turns out no).

So, I requested a do-over.  Sometime this Spring my family is entitled to a make-up Valentine's Day, where I do crafts, heart shaped food, love letters, the whole shebang.   This should appease all the Valentine's Day haters out there who say we should be showing love all year, not just one one day.  I couldn't agree more.

So really, I didn't fail....I am just spreading the love.

My Thoughts On Being Pregnant

* That's my view of my belly.  I assume I still have toes, okay, even feet,  but it's unclear.  I'll let you know in about 12 days.

* For a brief couple of weeks, people kept telling me how small I was.  No one says that anymore.  Which is good, because they would be lying, and I would know it.

* 3rd trimester morning sickness is no joke.  Unless it is some kind of cruel joke.  Which it must be because it has been taking me DOWN these last couple of weeks.

* Between my two pregnancies, I feel as though I have experienced pretty much every pregnancy symptom in the book.  Except one.  Apparently there is this thing called Nesting...Heard of it?  Supposedly it is pretty common.  It is nowhere in sight for this pregnant girl.  Too bad I have a to do list 14 miles long, because nothing much is happening outside of the basics these days.  For instance, if the dishes get done and Holden and I both get dressed before lunch, the day is a success.

* On a positive note, my sweet husband (who must have been pretty tired of hearing me complain) scheduled a mother to be massage for me, and I actually WENT!  So there is one to do list in my life that is getting some progress.  Verdict?  Not so bad,  I guess I can see how people enjoy it.  But I had a hard time relaxing because I was spending so much time feeling badly that this poor person's job was to have to touch me.  I have the same problem with pedicures.

*Finally, baby girl will be here in less than two weeks.  And we are ready.  Well, as ready as we can be considering that as of now she is both nameless and soon to be homeless (Oh, did I not mention that?  More to come).

 Ready or not, here she comes!
