Wednesday Randoms

Here it is, Wednesday randoms. Not much else going on so it's the best I could come up with. Half of this post was started yesterday and then I had internet issues all afternoon. I was grumpy with Blogger and the internet in general so I finally gave up. Today the internet, Blogger and I are getting along much better.

--I really never thought the day would come when I said I missed Milo working graveyard. And on an everyday basis, I don't miss it. But today (12/18) he's home from work and was around in the morning before school, just like the old days. What a difference! And I'm not just saying that because I slept in for a half an hour. (Although that was definitely helpful.) It is so much easier to tag team our kids with their ages than take it on yourself. Most mornings, Dane spends his time harassing the older kids and slowing their progress so if one of us can distract him, everything goes much more according to plan. And who doesn't like things to go according to plan? Really it's no secret that I do so this morning was a welcome reprieve. And after yesterday, it was needed! Thanks Milo!

--On his day home from work we tackled some organizing so this little baby boy will have a place to sleep and live. We moved stuff to outside storage and moved the baby clothes in. Now at least they are here ready to be washed. I'm not sure when I'll start that but they are inside, that's a plus. There is no way I can lug them around now, the belly is just too much in the way. Oh and the new car seat I ordered is in here now too. I could tell it's been a while since I've messed around with a newborn car seat. It took me 10 minutes to figure it all out. And it feels so much heavier than our last one and so far, this one's empty. I guess I'm just hoping to get some strong arm muscles lugging a full car seat around.

--I sent my Pink Christmas off, yeah! Milo willingly went to the post office yesterday and sent it (Thanks!!). He also bought stamps for our Christmas cards that I've had for 2 weeks and haven't sent because I was stampless. I know getting stamps isn't a huge task, it's just one that I kept putting off. They are ready to send today and are getting dropped off when I go get the kids. Love getting that off the list!

--I went to the Dr today (12/19). No big news, we'll probably set a date next week for induction. I didn't gain any weight this week so even if I haven't had the baby at least the scale was nice to me!

--Milo's birthday is tomorrow. And (he already knows this) I still have shopping to do. Not a smart thing to leave undone less than a week before Christmas. Thankfully he is easy to please.

--I only have a couple more appointments until I say goodbye to hair for awhile. The moms are left, they get the last ones. You have to do nice stuff like that for the moms. Especially when they're going to help you with your new baby! I feel fine doing it. The only thing I hate right now is getting winded to easily. It makes me feel like I have zero lung capacity. And with how he is pushing around, I'm sure it's crowded in there.

--I've gotten Good Mail twice this week. I went to document it and my camera batteries are dead (grrrr!). I need a back up set or I'm sure I'll be missing cute photos ops with a newborn. I'll post photos when I get battery juice back. Thanks Melinda, the clothes are so cute! Nathan can't wait for him to wear the pants. They were his favorite because they are so small. And Becca, you are as pregnant as me, how are you sending out Good Mail? Thanks for thinking of me, I can't wait to wear the fuzzy socks. I'm sure they'll come in handy in a couple weeks when I'm lounging around the hospital, ha! (Is it possible to lounge there when they bug you all the time?) Thanks Becca!

--I'm off to do Marion's hair then dinner. I can't wait, I get to see Leisha (sil) and baby Emma for the first time (our niece born in October). They flew in from New York late last night for the holidays.
