Things are starting to seem a little more real to me these days.  I have managed to escape most of the pregnancy “problems”.  Not really sick, or huge, or retaining water.  My feet hurt.  I think i have a pinched nerve that acts up at night, and i haven’t been able to ride my horse since May.  But other then that…things have been really easy.  The ladies at work love to tell me horror stories slowly changing from pregnancy horror stories to labor horror stories…which i figured can be solved with modern technology for the most part.  At my last appointment i was still measuring a little large for where i am supposed to be at.

It seems to be going SSOOOOO slow….but when i look back i can’t beleive how fast the past 5 months have gone.  October 27th still seems very far away, but jason has already declared little m2 will be a pirate for halloween (after watching pirates of the carribbean last weekend).

We redid the one room in our house that has carpet so, as Jason puts it, m2 will have a place to fall down.  I love the room, and we have plans for it to house most of our baby stuff (swings, rockers, toys, etc.) so we don’t use it all that much right now…but i go in there a lot and have tested out the love seat for comfort when trying to sleep.  The one thing i have started is the nesting.  A couple weekends ago, i ran around for an entire day “organizing”.  Filling out paper work, buying a calendar, folding baby clothes, fiddling with baby gear, and cleaning….omg…the cleaning.  I don’t think our house has ever been so clean.  And no matter how tired i am when i get home at night i can’t sit down without cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom, organizing the tupperware.

For those who have ever seen my bedroom since i have been about 7, i am one of those people who usually has a path cleared through the junk to get at the bed and thats about it…now, it causes severe anxiety if i have one article of clothing either not put away or thrown down the shoot.  Jason and i are usually backed up 2 or 3 weeks on our laundry…this morning i went down there to throw in another load and couldn’t find enough to make it worthwhile to do. 

I have been fighting the urge to wash all of the baby clothes, bedding, blankets etc.  It needs to be done, but i am trying to save some stuff to do for when i am 9 months and REALLY bored.  I expect it to get worse, and i fear that if i don’t have enough to do, it will result in one too many trips to babies are us.  I am also trying not to buy too much stuff…people have been getting angry with us for not leaving anything  for gifts.  So i can’t even go shopping anymore.   Thats it….pregnancy month #7 for me…15 weeks left and counting (yes, the math DOES work out)
