36 weeks pregnant

36 weeks

well, i'm feeling pretty "done" with this pregnancy. it could be because i overdid it all last week with something to do everyday (gymnastics, radiohead concert). next week should be a little more low-key.

i think i need to focus on my kids and enjoying the time i get to spend with them until baby arrives. its hard of course, b/c i get tired easily and i have a hard time getting around b/c of my size.

i'm feeling overwhelmed by my messy house and the pre-baby chores i want to get done. after having such a busy week, the house is a disaster. but on a good note, some pre-baby plans have come into effect: derek put our bed up onto a frame so we could store stuff underneath it. ezekiel's room has gotten cleared out of alot of extra furniture, and as soon as i can get the change table cleared off, i will lend it to my tenant downstairs, making even more room in there.

i'm on weekly dr. appts now until baby's arrival. kind of alot of driving as its 35 minutes away and always ends up being a bit of a trip.

thankfully, our babysitter is back from her vacation so i hope to have her help me out with the kids and cleaning as much as needed (since derek is often out doing extra jobs). i wish i had the energy to take the kids to the park, but i cannot chase ezekiel if he decides to run off (not his usual thing to do, but you never know).
