Good Intentions

So, I have had all the intentions to do all of these fun things this week with M.C., thinking this maybe the last week (just us).... yah Momma is too tired and in pain. It's not all day long, but the mornings are becoming very difficult. This summer, Mary Caroline has been staying up later than usual. It's summer and our schedule is never the same. So, she's slept in to 8:00 on those nights. Well, she went to bed about 8:45 last night and she was up at 6:30 this morning. This has been the trend lately. BOOOO!!! I guess my honeymoon is over! God, is getting me ready for two babies by keeping me up at night and up bright and early in the morning. YEAH!!!

Since I have already finished all of the "nesting" responsibility. I'm bored! You can only do so much housework, that it becomes daunting. That is why I wanted to do some fun stuff with the kiddo. But.. it's too dang hot today, even to go to the pool. We've resorted to playing 'school' and yes, (bad Mom) watching t.v. The school part is good: she is learning her sight words and I let her color on paper as I cut out pictures from grocery adds. She puts those hand made cards in a coffee can as I ask her what the object is. (no, this idea is not from the teacher in me, but from Mom and sister, Katie)

The t.v. part is educational, we watch A Baby Story to prepare her for Baby #2 and in the morning we watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (it's her favorite) That's it. Okay maybe Dora when Mom is starting to feel a contraction come on. Yo Gabba Gabba at 4.

I did manage to get the baby pool out today and I let her take the hose with a sprinkler attachment and spray it everywhere. Including on me! At this point, I feel like I am on bed rest. I am afraid to get out of the house in fear that a contraction will be soo painful that driving would be hard.

Mom Kunz will be here on Friday! Thank GOD!
