Not nesting

I wish I had the urge to nest like a lot of soon-to-be mothers.  From everything I've read, nesting is an urge to clean, organize, and prepare for the arrival of your new precious little one. Well, I'm not into any of this. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited to have Adeline here! I just don't feel the urge to clean and organize. I want her nursery set up and ready for her, but the thought of moving furniture from this room to that room to goodwill to my father-in-law's house makes me tired.  If nesting involved eating and sleeping, then I would be in full blown nesting mode! 

Kayne and I spent the entire weekend cleaning the house and cleaning out what will become the baby's room.  This was my misery! Kayne did most of the work. I hobbled around the house and allowed myself to get easily distracted by boxes of pictures, old birthday cards, or the new rash that is all over my arms and legs.  

Now, about this rash. It is probably caused by some sort of cream or lotion, but I think it might be scabies...AGAIN!  I almost had scabies once before. Thank goodness it turned out to be Dove soap causing the small bumps. But this time it might really be scabies! I tricked Kayne into helping me vacuum the mattress just in case.  If it's not scabies then it could be bed bugs! If we have bed bugs I bet they're from our hotel in Chicago.  It looked like a clean hotel but even clean hotels can be deceiving.  I bet some eggs hopped into our suitcases and they just now hatched. And they're not biting Kayne because I bet bed bugs are like mosquitos.  Some people attract them, others don't.

If hypersensitive hypochondria is a symptom of pregnancy, well by golly, I've got it!

So little to do and so much time

February is a pretty busy month for me.

I will now make a list of things that I must do:

1. Attend parenting/birth classes weekly. Last week we practiced a certain exercise to make the birth process a little easier. Kayne now hounds my daily to see if I've done 50 of these babies per day.  He even asked me about it last night at a Predators game!

2. Continue to do homebound instruction for a young lad who doesn't feel like going to school. But seriously, who does?

3. Finish this #$%@#% yearbook! I will never ever ever do this again. Why do I volunteer for this stuff?!

4. Host Bunko. Yes, I know that makes me an old lady but I don't care! It's fun!

Ok, now that it's all written out it doesn't sound like such a big deal!

On a side note, I love my husband. I really do. But, he is a TV hog.  He's all about demanding that we watch shows that we both like when I have control of the remote. However, when he has the remote this is not the case. If I turn my eyes away from the TV for a millisecond he changes the channel to something gross like Basketball or even worse....POKER! Why oh why doesn't he like HGTV and TLC as much as I do?

Let's try this again

Once upon a time I started a blog for our growing little family. It was shortly after I found out I was pregnant. I had big plans for that blog.  I was going to document our pregnancy and leave a written record of this special time in our lives. Well, I posted one blog about my craving for milk, didn't tell anyone we had a blog (not even Kayne), and quickly forgot I had even created a blog.  So, I deleted it. 

Now my dear friend Becca has started a blog, and I'm having blog envy. I'm going to try this again and this time I'm really going to blog! I mean, I love reading other people's blogs! I'll even sit down and read a blog from someone I don't know, hoping I come across something juicy! 

I just hope I have better success at this blog thingy that I did with the 602 journals I have started in my lifetime. Of course I started a pregnancy journal too. I wrote in it about 4 times.  The last time I wrote in it I was mad at Kayne. I should probably tear that entry out.
