I guess the main reason I don't feel prepared yet is that I have been sick with the longest cold/cough ever in my life. It spread from my nose to my chest then to my ears and sinuses! (AWFUL) And I have these nesting urges, but when I try to do stuff, with being so sick I just don't have the energy to get it all done, I look at everything that has been piling up, and I just feel like crying sometimes. But, I guess it's not really important to have it all done, but yet it's such a strong urge that it is unbearable at times! Especially when I think of the things that I can only do myself, that no one can really help with. (By the way, don't get me wrong, throughout this whole pregnancy, Matt has been such a great help that I feel so spoiled at times!)
Yesterday, I was like, OK, I HAVE TO GET STUFF DONE! Matt could tell how urgent I felt, so he came home early and started helping and even got Faith in on it, and then when the boys came home from school, they joined in too! It was such a nice time, it was so enjoyable to clean together as a family. There is still so much to do, but I am so grateful that everyone was willing to help, it really has taken such a load off my shoulders. Then also, out of the blue, a friend brought over a homemade meal that just made my day! I don't even think anyone told her that I was sick! That was SO nice.
Ah, if only I could have energy like I did at the end of my last pregancy, but maybe I'll get lucky and go overdue with this one too, long enough that I get over my sickness at least! It sure sounds better than going into labor right now, with this hacking cough that has made my muscles and ribs so sore. Ha, ha! Isn't that funny that anyone would HOPE to go overdue!? But I really sort of do...but I don't...but I do....whatever... I guess it's out of my hands anyway, so I'll just be happy whenever it happens!

I hope you are able to get done what you would like before the baby comes and that you are feeling better soon.
Oh Glenda I wish we lived closer together cause I would help you out in a heartbeat! Don't worry... not everything has to be perfect. Sounds like you're doing a pretty good job considering you're 9 months preggo, with 3 kids and being sick. You're superwoman! Good luck with the delivery and I can't wait to see pictures of this tiny baby! :)

Hi there! So sorry you've been sick! No wonder I haven't heard from ya in awhile. Hope you're feeling better now - I know having a clean house makes me feel better and more able to relax and rest.
