Quick 33-Week Update

Time flies as you near the finish line, right? Because it sure seems to be zooming on by for me right now. We have five weeks, max, until this little girl is here. And I have at least twelve weeks worth of work to do to get ready for her. Ack. The shopping is done (except for our cloth diaper stash..we're still testing and shopping and hemming and hawing)....the washing is done...now it's just finding room for her and all her baby things, and rearranging the house. Which in actuality is a very big task considering we're cramming four of us in our teeny tiny house. Diapers stored in the Entertainment Center, anyone?

The closer we get to meeting this little girl, the worse I feel too. I'm not sleeping well due to some serious hip pain. Nausea has returned, off and on. The foot swelling has begun. So as much as I'd love to knock out all the work and preparations, I just can't. Wayne does what he can, but he's finishing up a college class right now. So, I fear many things will get put off until the last minute. And I'm not a last minute person!!

You'll notice more blog posts this coming week than normal. I try to only hold one giveaway a week, but I'm backlogged...and afraid I'll get even further behind as we approach baby's birthday. So I'll be rolling out some reviews and giveaways sooner than originally planned. Please don't think I'm converting to a full-time review blog, though. I try pretty hard to space out my review posts from my "real life" anecdotes.....but I need to get ahead of the game before I drop the ball on a big giveaway or something!

So enjoy the last bit of your weekend....we'll be eating dinner outside tonight in our new fenced-in play area!!!! Another week is fast approaching.....

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, but you are getting very close! Please take it easy on yourself :)
