Nesting or just crazy

Perhaps I have begun the nesting phase, but really I think I am just crazy.  Ever have those months where you just have too much crap on your plate.  Yup, that's me.  By the end of each and every day I am completely exhausted and have used all energy that I have to give.  My brain and body ache.

Most of the stuff for us involves somthing around the house, which is why I call it nesting.  None of it, however, NEEDS to be complete right this very moment.  Ok, well, I do need to maybe get some stuff done for the baby.  But wiping the walls down in the basement... that could wait.

Here's just a taste of the accomplishments for the past weekend:
Shopped and bought furniture for the upstairs, the old stuff will be moved to the basement
Taped out the bar... we needed to see how much room we had to work with
Wiped the walls of the basement
Puttied the trim in the basement
Cleaned the bathroom in the basement
Bought fixtures and towels for the bathroom in the basement
Washed and folded at least 6 loads of laundry - including baby clothes.  Gosh they are so small and cute.
Laid mulch around the trees in the yard
Menards and more Menards - bought a patio set
Went to a concert

And this is what I can remember off the top of my head.  Pretty much think I am crazy.  This week/weekend won't be any better.  Nor will the following.  Well, at least it makes the time fly by!

34 weeks and counting.  Ignore my messy bathroom :)  It's to the point now where if I think about peeing, I have to pee.  I'm ready to have this baby.

I don't like ABCs

That's what I get from Lilly everytime I ask her to sing the ABCs. And if I sing it, she sushes me. She knows them. Just doesn't ever want to sing the song. Kids are weird.
Well Lilly Grace, I love the ABCs and here's why...

A = Apple. Love that we have 100 varieties now. When I was a kid, you just got a bag of them.
B = Bananas. Have one almost every morning.
C = Carrots or Cupcakes depending on my mood. And Chipotle. Gosh I love Chipotle.
D = Donuts. Hmm, donuts
E = Eggs or Eclairs
F = Fruit snacks. Yes, I am adult and I love fruit snacks more than my 3 year old
G = Grapes. I like them and couldn't think of anything else
H = Hot tamales and hotdish
I = Ice cream, doesn't matter which flavor. They are all good.
J = Juice mixed with sprite. It's delicious. I am sick of water.
K = Kettle corn. Perfect blend of sweet and salty
L = Licorice. Red Vines, yes please.
M = Macaroni with anything on it. Pasta is good stuff.
N = Nuts. I am crazy for wasabi almonds.
O = Omlettes. My mom makes them the best
P = Pickles. Refridgerator style.
Q = Quesadillas. Delicious and could eat for every meal.
R = Ribs. Although I loved them much more when I was preggers with Lilly.
S = Snickers, Strawberries, Spaghetti, Starburst
T = Tator tots, the way my husband makes them
U = Umm, what the heck food starts with u?
V = Vanilla. Pretty much anything vanilla is yummy.
W = Watermelon. Especially in warm weather, eaten outside.
X = xtreme cheese Kraft mac and cheese. Seriously, this stuff it GOOD!
Y = Yogurt.
Z = Zebra cakes, Little Debbie style. I am certain that we have all varieties at our house.

So there, my non-ABC-loving child. Here are 26 reasons why you should be singing that tune 24-7.

Every Two Weeks and Benefits

So it has begun. Appointments are now every two weeks, until 36 weeks and then they are each week. To me, this is a sign that the end is near.

This week's appointment went well. I am clear to take Clariton. Thank goodness. Now I just need to remember to actually take it. Also finding that the pain in my hands is completely normal. Pregnancy is so weird. Pretty much any pain or swelling is chalked up to being 'normal'. I didn't have this with Lilly. Should be an interesting 9 more weeks. Just lucky that I didn't get it earlier, right?

I thought I'd take the time to write about some of the benefits of being pregnant... besides having a miracle grow in your tummy. Just need to lighten my mood. Here's some of my recent bennies:

1. I can pretty much say anything to anyone and get away with it.

2. Everyone expects you to break out in tears at any moment, so most are overly nice. Can I carry that for you? Let me get the door? Here, you sit down. I'll buy you and the baby lunch. Etc. Etc.

3. As long as I am covered in the right places, anything flies for clothing. At this point, I wear what I am comfortable in. If someone doesn't approve, I use bennie number 1 to straighten them out.

4. Sayonara normal chores. Pretty much anything at this point is exhausting. I am either pawning off chores or letting them go.

5. No one looks at you like you are crazy when you bring in strawberries, a banana, a ham sandwich and carrots with hummus for breakfast. Then have some of this goodness for dessert.

This is a pic of the candy currently in my office. I had equally as much candy BEFORE I got pregnant, but now everyone assumes that I only have this much because of my 'condition'.

I know I owe a belly shot. We've been terrible about taking them this pregnancy. For some reason, I just don't want to remember myself being this big. I had a dream the other night that my normal body was back. I'm ready for that. Maybe next week.
