Ah Nesting!

So, I've noticed a lot of preggers talking about their nesting lately. Well, I guess I went in overdrive yesterday because I put myself in what I thought was early stages of labor. I took M.C. to run errands: UPS store, Teacher store and Once Upon a Child. Mary Caroline weighs about 24lbs. Not bad. But I take her in and out of the car. She is walking but not trusting to let her on her own. So, have to carry her or put her in the shopping carts.

The Teacher store is very tempting because you feel like buying every educational toy/game out there. I began to think, I need to be teaching M.C. how to read. That's what I'll do while I am breastfeeding the other one. HAAH!!! Well she loooooves the store too and that was fun to get her out of the store.

Once Upon a Child is very bad!!! It's like box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get! I like the fact that I found a Peg Perego double stroller! I've been looking on and off for double strollers since I found out I was pregnant. I really didn't want to get one unless it was necessary. Well, I watched my friend Kara with her two babies and I know I won't be able to handle M.C. trying to walk and maneuvering a stroller with a baby. So, lock them up is my goal!

When I got home, we had lunch and settled down to sight word/picture cards. Yes, I am really trying to teach M.C. to know what objects are at least. Meanwhile, I am thinking about my new buy (the stroller)

At nap time, I get all of my things done so I can play with the stroller. Swifter, put dishes away, laundry and take out two strollers out of my car. Start cleaning my stroller.

Then come the contractions...... UgGGGG!!! I timed them, at one point I had 7 contractions in one hour. I give Ash the warning and start getting the bag ready, paperwork ready, but manage to get baby fed and act like everything is normal. Boil some ravioli and sit on my ball with my dinner. 7 o' clock rolls around and they have subsided a little so I give M.C. a bath.

At that point I am exhausted, but not having the contractions as much. Daddy takes M.C. from my arms and put her to bed. I take a shower and feel like melting in the water.

So, I guess I over did my day? Got way too excited about a dang stroller! Today I go to the doc. Let see what she says. What's hard is that this is the second baby and I have M.C. and many things to do. So "slowing down" is not in my vocabulary. I know, that is bad.

(Ash's response to the contractions: oh you better get on your blog and start blogging/twittering whatever you do. Dork)
