Let me start by saying poor, sweet, loving, caring, amazing husband of mine. Today has been one heck of a day. It all started around 9:30am (after a much needed sleeping in) with a trip to Central Market for breakfast and shopping. After getting groceries for the week, we came home to start the mass organization of our house… or at least complete a fraction of it. What most do not know is that we recently moved from an apartment to a house and our last day to get out of the apartment was yesterday…so we had the remainder of goodies stored there now all over our new house plus the addition of all of Jack’s new stuff.
Lee started by hanging the curtains in the baby’s room and then putting down the rug we bought.
Luckily, my mom lives near and was able to come over to help me finish putting together the nursery while Lee tended to the heavier/manly duties. While going through bags and boxes of stuff, mom and I realized we needed to make a quick trip to target for some baskets and hanging storage for the closet. So we did that while Lee kept on trucking and my step dad cooked dinner.
After dinner mom and John left and even with running around all day and the additional help, our house is still a mess! I sincerely feel bad for Lee having to listen to my complaints and he isn’t allowed one single second to sit down. There is just so much to do and we have definitely procrastinated as much as we can. Lee’s family might be coming next weekend and Jack will be here in at least 2 weeks!
As for my physical nature, my swollen ankles feel like they are shattered, so Lee told me that I needed to put my feet up. So that’s where I am now… feet up with ice on the bed while he is organizing our closet, folding clothes, and putting things away. I really can’t stand not having my full physical strength. It’s where I pull my worth. I feel worthless because I can’t help out like a normal person and so I push myself further than I should.
Enough negative. One of the highlights of this evening was talking with my dad via Skype for a little bit. He is currently overseas and will be there until about October/November time frame. I showed him how huge I was (like it was a trophy). He asked how in the world that happened- Dad, Lee and I have no idea…we sleep in different rooms J. We talked a little bit about life and then about baby coming very soon. His one big tip for the evening was to make sure to pack make up in my overnight bag because us women look like we have been through a UFC fight after giving birth. HA! I love my dad.
Well, that’s it for me this evening. Tomorrow we have another weekly doctors visit. Let the count down continue.
