I am well into week 29 now. I've made my best effort to savor this pregnancy and simply enjoy each moment, knowing it will be my last. That being said, my feet are killing me, my lower back is in excrutiating pain at the end of the day and I want nothing more than to wear sweatpants to work each and every day. Ha! I am ready to be done! I only have about 9 more weeks to go and I know it will pass quickly. I cannot wait to hold this precious boy in my arms. He will be so worth the wait!
I finally dropped the fabric for his bedding off to the gal who is sewing it for me. I can't wait to see some progress pictures. I think it is going to be so cute! I've been stalking the online sales pages in hopes to find a dresser and finally found one for $20! Mya decided she needed one that was a bit larger and truth be told, this one is more feminine than the chest of drawers she is currently using, so we swapped them. I filled his drawers with all the clothes I've been collecting and I am pleased to say that we are pretty much set in the clothing department until he is 9 mo. or so. I am a huge fan of Carter's kids clothes, so I've been buying during their sales since discovering we were having a boy. My sister passed along a few outfits as well, so this little guy is well taken care of. We also bought diapers, wipes, soaps and other necessities. It is all coming together. My friends at work have been incredibly sweet and persistent. They want to throw us a baby shower, but I am being pretty firm with my request that it doesn't happen. I really dislike being the center of attention in large gatherings and find it awkward to be "showered" with so much stuff. Anyway, I have this feeling that I will be blindsided one day, but hopefully not until he arrives and can take some of the focus off of me ;)
I am so glad that I took advantage of my energy spurt in the 2nd trimester, organizing and purging some non-essentials. I feel less pressure to strive for perfection now and really have a very short "to-do" list. We organized the girls' toys into a toy cabinet this weekend. They have toys on every level of our house. I've lived through the toys in the living room phase and hated every minute of it. Now that they are older, we've moved their toys on our main level into the exercise/spare bedroom. I found a cabinet that has doors, so the toys will be out of sight out of mind. So far so good as the room looks clean and tidy. Love that! I need to mail some more clothes to my sister, find new drawer pulls for the dresser I bought and buy a new rug for the little guy's room. Not too bad!
All in all, things are coming together. I do my best to stay off my feet at night, lay on a heating pad and take it easy. Chris has picked up some of the slack, but again, he works until 6:30, which doesn't leave much room for not cooking, homework help, etc. This too shall pass.
