Almost there!

Since it is after midnight now, I am 20 days from my due date of October 5th. Things have been busy over here. We are trying to finish part of our basement, build a fire engine bunkbed from scratch for our son, and then move the existing office into the basement, the son into his new bed in the old office and re-decorate the office, as well as decorate the existing nursery for the new baby. We hope that we finish everything before the baby gets here. Our son is also having his 2 year old birthday party on Saturday. He'll turn two next Monday, on the 21st. So we have a lot going on. Not to mention that I am tired all the time, and this has not been as easy of a pregnancy as it was with my son. Though I have not had the swelling issues I had with Riley and have not had to go on bedrest (I'd been on bedrest 9 days with Riley as this point), this pregnancy has been more difficult. Nasuea for 16 weeks straight. Severe indigestion since before teh pregnancy test was positive that only stopped for a couple of weeks between 16 and 18 weeks. Braxton-Hicks contractions that started at 18 weeks I believe. Lots of baby movenments, some of which are painful. More exhaustion with this child as well. So between trying to help my husband care for our toddler and being pregnant, it has been a rough 9 months. All of this while working fulltime! It will all be worth it in the end when the baby gets here. We did not find out what we are having this time either (I had to veto my husband's request that we find out this time). SO it will be exciting to see what the baby is. Today Riley refused to wear a pair of shorts that we classified as "baby pants" and said that they were for the "girl in mommy's tummy". Perhaps he knows something that we don't! Only time will tell. I guess that is about all for now. Until later...
