1st Day Without Help

Well today was the first day @ our house without any help! Nathan went back to work today and I got to try my hand at doing this mommy of 3 thing by myself. Lets just say that I have had better days.. WAY better days.

Today was a tough day. I really struggled. It didn't help that one thing after another kept going wrong and I had those things to deal with on top of juggling the 3 kids. To top it off the boys have mutually decided that they no longer have to listen to me. I am glad it is almost bed time and Nathan will be home very soon for the evening. I think the boys are finally sleeping and Ms. April is sleeping soundly.. in the moby wrap. If you thought I was going to say in her bed, well you have another thing coming. This little angel will NOT sleep on her own. Okay so thats not entirely true. There has been a few random occasions in her very short life where she has gone for more than 5 minutes without having to be held by one person or another. This afternoon actually in the midst of one of my many crisis' she had a nice 2 hour nap in her bassinet. I think the good Lord knew I needed a break from the kids and let them all rest peacefully while I cleaned up a bit of a disaster. Let me just say... NEVER EVER put dish-soap in your dishwasher. Need I say more? Okay yes I already knew not too.. it was more of an accident really. Anyways.. I made it through my first day alone with the kids.. and I am very glad it is over. Now Nathan is home for another 3 days, and I won't have to worry about handling them on my own until Monday.

Having a Rough Day

I am feeling so anxious today. I am tired of waiting for this pregnancy to come to an end. I am sick of reading into every ache and pain and thinking that it might be a sign that labor is starting. I am done with all the questions of how I am feeling and if I know when this baby is going to be born. I don't know why people think I have any more insight than they do! I don't want to sound ungrateful. I am so thankful for this baby and this pregnancy. I just really thought that I would be holding him or her in my arms by now, and not still waiting! I am trying to keep myself busy so that I don't go crazy but I am not an overly patient person and this whole thing is not helping that! I feel like a small child waiting for Christmas, the only difference is that I don't know what day Christmas is going to be on. I know I am not the first woman to go through this and I have been very lucky with the boys that I went early. I am just feeling so anxious.. and I just wish I knew when I would be holding this little one in my arms for the first time!
