Update on Me

Well, the time is finally arriving. They are planning to induce me on Monday, the 24th, assuming I don't go into labor before then. I have so much to do before this baby comes! You think I would have been on top of this stuff, but no, I am just starting to think about what I need. Can you believe I don't have diapers?? And we have to get the bassinet out and get the car seat in... Yeah, I'm a little behind!

I haven't mentioned it lately, but we are still in the process of trying to sell our house too. My realtor just called today to say someone coming in from out of town wants to look at it next week. I told him, please, please, make them come at least after Thanksgiving so I have a few days to get my act together. It's been really tough keeping this house in order with four kids underfoot and a big pregnant belly! I'd be just as happy to drop the whole thing until spring, but if the builders of the new house will keep extending my contingency, and dropping their price (which they've done twice), then I would be stupid to get out of that deal now.

Even without the aforementioned stuff going on, this is a crazy time of year for us. It begins the Big Birthday Slide!! We start with my oldest - who turns nine in just two weeks. Then, in succession, they have birthdays sliding one right into the other: December, January, February, and March. No, it has not escaped me that with a November birthday for this baby, we have only added to the chaos. And of course, tucked away nicely in there are Advent and Christmas.

And, no, I have not started my Christmas shopping. I am an under-pressure kind of shopper. Not a good strategy when you are as busy this time of year as we are. I'm not very bright that way though!

I could go on and on; Christmas pageant practice, Christmas choir practice, Cub Scout service projects, etc., etc., but I'm sure you get the main point: I am going to be BUSY.

So, I am going to try my very best to keep up on this blog, but I'm guessing my posts will be fewer. Don't worry, I'll let you know when the baby is here! And, if I don't post again before then, please have a very, very, Happy Thanksgiving!
