Why Do I Still Feel The Need To Post Every Day?

Busy, busy, busy.  It seems like things will never slow down at this time of year.  We start gearing up for year end at work. At home I have so many things I need to do and so many more I want to do and there is never enough time to get them all done.  Right now I would love nothing more than a week at home alone without a toddler to distract me.  My house is suffering from months of neglect.  I have so many little projects that I want to complete.  I have gifts that I wanted to actually make this year instead of buying and I’m not sure I’ll be able to get them done.  I have a few more items left to shop for before Christmas.  Oh, and a little sleep here and there would be nice too.  I’m already looking forward to my maternity leave just because I know I’ll finally get some sleep – even if it is in two hour spurts!

Instead of going home and snuggling with the boy on the couch tonight, I have to attend a meeting that I really don’t want to go to.  It isn’t something I have to go to, but something that I’ll feel guilty about later if I don’t attend.  I would much rather spend the evening with my family, then snuggle in for some TV time and a little knitting.

I had my 24 week check-up today with my doctor.  Everything is still looking great with this pregnancy.  My belly is measuring perfectly and Baby G’s heart rate is still at 147.  Next time I go in I have the dreaded Glucose test to look forward to.  Then a few days after that we are going to have a 3D scan done and hopefully get a glimpse of her little face and confirm the sex again.  Hubby is a little paranoid that our girl will come out a boy and wants to double check.

For a short time this morning I thought I just might be greeting a new niece by this evening, but it looks like that isn’t going to happen.  It is actually a good thing because I think my Sister-in-law is only 36 weeks along and I would rather she let that little girl cook for a couple more weeks before popping her out.  I think it scared my brother a bit though when he realized just how unprepared they actually are.  I have a feeling they will be hurriedly getting baby things ready over the next couple of days.  I was excited thinking that she may be here tonight, but it really is for the best that she waits.
