Scratch the last list.

So, after thinking about it, stressing about it.. and then REALIZING...... We'll be okay if we don't get everything done. My list has been completely shortened to only the important things..

1. Spend some special time with Emily and Hannah
2. Pack everyone up
3. Get the schedule printed out.

The other stuff is just not as important (especially since bryan already got the dishes done :-D)

So, we're going to watch some t.v. while we eat our lunch. Then we are going to do a load of laundry together (they love helping) and then they are going to help me pack their clothes. And inbetween that we are going to tickle, read, play, and maybe even take a bath!!

Late Night Awakeness.

So, tonight Bryan and I were just talking about how excited we are that Abigail is almost here.......... stupid thing to do right before we are suppose to fall asleep..... .


I might just have a panic attack. I realize there is sooooo much stuff i need to get done in the next three days. Seriously! It's all the little stuff. but it's adding up...

My list so far?!

*finish sorting all the clothing
*wash the kitchen counters (they've become gross since i've been unable to tackle the kitchen)
*finish the dishes (if we're going to be gone four days.. that could get HORRIBLY gross)
*wash the carpets.. at least the girls' and ours, and the front room... well might as well get the last room left also
*get shampoo and conditioner. Perfect timing to be running out, right?!
*Get the rest of the laundry washed, folded, and put away
*Get the girls' stuff packed, Bryan's stuff packed, Abby's stuff packed, and my stuff packed for the hospital time.
*Get everyone a schedule and make sure it works for them
*clean the back room
*find the rest of the stuff for the bassinet, and wash it.
*wash the baby tub
*take the garbage out
*clean out any food that might go bad in the fridge
*wash and sanitize all the "abby" toys
*get the baby bag all washed out and ready for use
*make a grocery list for when we get out of the hospital so Bryan will know what to buy
*get airfresheners
*get more laundry detergent
*take the girls on one last (for a while) special mommy, hannah, and emily adventure.. (hopefully doing it sometime monday)

..seriously that's just the stuff on the top of my head.......at 12:30 at night.
But at least we have diapers and a carseat, right??!!?!??!?!?!

My list update.

Okay, so 11 days from now I will be holding my little Abigail. I'm excited, but need to stay focused. Here is my updated list.. The ones in red are done.. the ones in black aren't.

*Organize all the girls' toys into containers
*Finish organizing all the baby clothing into sizes
*Buy a new carseat. (after two baby's in one... and lots of blowouts.. our current one is looking a little worn.
*Wash off the MILLION crayon marks on the girls' wall
*Wash all the carpets in the apartment.
*Find the rest of the pieces to the bassinet and set up in our room
*Get the girls' schedule ready for where they are going to stay while we are in the hospital
*Pack hospital bags and girls sleepover bags
*Fold and put away all the clothing on the couch. (we got a lot)
*Wash out bathtub
added on today
*Clean out car
*make grocery list for when we come home from hospital


Okay.. so it might not look like we've done much in the last two weeks.. But there was a TON i didn't include in this list. Luckily we've gotten all the HUGE stuff done, we just need to do a few more things.
Currently bryan is working on the car, and i'm about to do some laundry (keeping up on things)... then we're going to move around the carseats so the girls get use to their new spots in the car.

Doctor's appointment Today.

So.. I've been having contractions pretty much one an hour for the last two days. So I went to the Doctor's office with a little bit of high hopes.

Stats: I'm 75% Effaced (way up from last week.. i was only BA RELY 30%)
I am dialated to a.. (insert drum roll)...... not even a one. I'm dialated to a fingertip. That's all.. Yep all this pain for nothing (though I was COMPLETELY not dialated last week). Yeah, I'm kind of disappointed.

We're going to do an ultrasound again next week to see how big she looks. But Dr. Cook says he still feels a c-section would be best, if she doesn't come sometime this week-ish.

SO i have my pre-op appointment next week along with the ultrasound at the same appointment, and then the week after is my c-section.. it's coming up soon..... but not soon enough.

Hannah Explaining what we're going to do tonight.

The Home Depot Adventure Part II

Todays Craft was "Picnic Boxes".... they look a lot like Toolboxes... But I think we'll use them for picnicing at least once!

Here's Emily hard at work:


Here's Hannah and Auntie Lynda. Hannah actually really liked hammering with Auntie Lynda, I just happen to get a picture when she was distracted.

The girls with their final product. The handles weren't dry so they had to hold them like this. But tonight they might be able to use them at the BBQ at Oma's.

Auntie Lynda and the girls showing off their hard work!

Again I recommend this. It's harder for younger kids.. BUT still really fun. I just recommend one adult per young child.

So last night I went into labor... I was on the way to the hospital.... And then was woken up by Hannah. :-( Yep, Just a dream....... I woke up still pregnant and not any closer to going into labor. GRR! I am really hoping the dream comes true soon!
