Going to try to turn this day around.

Ben woke up early this morning after a late night and I am completely exhausted.  So much for trying to get some rest.  I might have forgotten to mention last week that my doctor is a little worried about preeclampsia.  So far I think I'm ok and seeing as how I'm 36 weeks a long today, I'm not too worried.

I am quite a grump today though.  After the being up late and then getting up early nonsense.  I know that I'm going to be really tired for quite a bit here when the baby gets here.  That's the one part I'm not looking forward to.  I feel like nothing seems to be going right today.

I need to turn this day around and get out of the grump.  After lunch, Ben and I are going to do his D is for dinosaur craft.  I'm going to try to work on my calendar for the month of March today as well.  Since the baby will be here, I'm scared of what that is going to do to Ben's craft time.  While it's fun, it is a lot of work for me.  I think that this week I'm going to try to get all the crafts ready so it's not as much work for me at the time we do them.  Shawn and I want to keep Ben's life as normal as possible with nice fun little surprises for him after the baby gets here so he doesn't feel unimportant, unloved, or jealous of the baby.  I know that's going to be difficult and I'm probably being pretty naive, but it's a goal I'm prepared to work hard on.  This however means I have a lot of work to do and a lot to try to prepare myself for.

The baby will be here in 3 weeks from tomorrow.  It's getting close and I'm already super stressed.

Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather..... It appears that Spring has sprung...  Some nice spring storms and mostly warmer weather. Right now I am.... Sitting outside at the table on the front porch while the kids run and play or stop to eat their snacks.    Thinking.... Ugh Monday... Mondays always seem to be the worst days for me.

Everything from my DVR since we are switching cable providers and will be losing our current DVRs on Wednesday.
