A Bundle of Myrrh

The end is in sight! 38 weeks and all is well with baby. He’s head down and ready to go. Of course my waddle is worse and I’m probably worse for the waddle. I’m up every hour at night either with one of the girls or in the WC, leg cramps are back and now I’m having crippling “bladder spasms” most likely caused by caffeine. But our moms are here so dishes and laundry are getting done, meals are getting to the table and even some fun projects are underway! We’re eager to get baby here and making all our preparations has been very exciting.

Next week we’ll go back to our doctor to find out how close we’re getting. Unfortunately (or fortunately my opinion changes every minute) he will be going out of town the weekend after my due date so he’s now talking about induction of labor. Honestly if I make it to my due date I’m okay with that. My other inductions have gone well but perhaps baby will come soon on his own.

I was so tired of all the hodge podge of ‘tupperware’ I have. Most of it I hadn’t used in over a year so it had to go. And I hate the way it’s all stacked and falling over in this cabinet so I decided to get rid of the junk and put the rest in the pantry using a basket to store lids. Now snacks and baking supplies have a tidy new home I can get to a lot quicker.

The rest of the pantry will have to wait.

It’s definitely time to get rid of some of the cooking magazines I’ve had sitting around for a few years. I started removing all the recipes I’ll want to keep in a separate notebook once I get one, then I’ll send the magazines on to my neighbor.

All I can say is that if I could bend over, had more energy and didn’t risk going into labor (ok, labor at this point wouldn’t be the worst thing!) I would have one clean and organized house right now!
