Only 36 Days To Go

My ticker today says that I have only 36 more days to go. Wow. I am seriously running out of time. I have something to do pretty much every day during the month of October. I have never been so busy in my life. Dance Classes, Field Trips, Play Dates, Doctor's Visits, Tests, and so on fill my life up with no time to spare. The girls' school takes most of the day and then we have to make time for everything else. When do I study and do my work, you say. Well, I never get any sleep. Somethings got to give. I can't find time to get everything ready for Jade's arrival. I'm going to feel bad next month when the girls have to miss out on a field trip and activities because of the couple of the few weeks of maternity leave that I will allow myself. I need a nanny. LOL I can't imagine having all the time to myself if I sent them to PS. My, my what would I do. That will never happen though. :) I love being with them and doing all these things. I'm just nervous about the third one. I don't know how I'm going to handle it, but I know I will be able to. And to anyone who thinks all we do is just sit at home and do nothing can think again. It takes a lot of work and responsibility to home school your children.

Shopping for Baby

I bought a new car seat/stroller combo for Jade today. :)

Besides the van, it is the first purchase I have made for the new baby. Got me kind of excited! I can't wait to put her in it.

33 Weeks

I went to the doctor yesterday. I'm still low on iron, but everything else is just fine. I have to go again in two weeks, then the week after that I will have my final sonogram. Hopefully that will verify that it is still a little girl, so we don't have to change names and start buying boy things. :)
I need to get things in order for the baby's arrival. I have yet to begin doing so. I need to get a car seat and stuff. I have so much to do lately, I feel quite overwhelmed. Homeschooling two and going to school myself is just wiping me out. That and the fact that I am STILL having trouble sleeping. At least the girls' birthday party is over now. They had a blast. Well, at least Hannah did. She loves skating so much. She skated until the rink closed. So, did Abigail. Lily says that she had a good time, but she wouldn't skate. She knows how because she skates all around the house. I think all the people had her a little scared that they would run over her. Even Tim skated for a while with Hannah. He seemed to have a pretty good time too. All in all it was a good party. I will be posting pictures of the party on my picture site under the links section of this one. Check it out, if you like. :)

Lately, I have been experiencing the usual late pregnancy symptoms. Extremely uncomfortable as far as my belly goes. I can't go 10 minutes without going to pee. Also, lately my emotions are CRAZY! I don't remember being so emotional at this time with Hannah or Lily. Maybe I was, but I don't remember. I cry at everything! It sucks. I have contractions all the time, especially when I walk a little. They are very painful too. I know my contractions with Hannah and Lily were not this painful. I can continue walking when I have one and I have to breathe through it. The good thing is that I only have about 7 more weeks to go! It is just going by too fast. :)

Update

Look at the ticker! My time is running out. I'm starting to get nervous now. I am in my 8th month already! What happened?!

I'm still having trouble sleeping. I thought I found the solution to my sleeping and RLS problems. I was low on iron, so I started taking more iron. Well, it helped the RLS, but the insomnia continues. I don't know what my problem is.

Hannah is sick today. She has a very bad sore throat and a fever. She scared me earlier because she looked dazed and confused. I think it might have been from the fever. Lord, I hope I don't get it or Lily. Their birthday is next weekend and I have a cake order to fill next week as well. I pray that she gets well soon. She did nothing but lay in my chair all day. Very unusual for her even when she is sick. Needless to say we took a sick day from school today.

I just have to mention how much I am enjoying teaching this year. I LOVE it! I can not see myself doing anything else. Both of the girls amaze me everyday. Especially Lily lately. She is progressing so much. I can't believe it. Hannah's reading skills are impressive too. I love homeschooling. I can't say it enough. I wish everyone could understand the joys and advantages of homeschooling. Especially people in my family. I feel so much like I am being judged because of my choices. Maybe one day they will see.
