Wow

Today is Sept. 17th. Etta will be here Oct. 20th, at the latest. One month and 3 days. Ummm....that is quick. I was just looking at the calendar to verify Carter's vacation at the end of this month, and skipped to next month and man oh man, it's just going to fly by. Vacation starts Sept. 26th and goes til Oct. 2nd. That week we hope to get lots of loose ends tied up, have a family day out, and a date day (cause a date night isn't going to happen with me being so tired. BTW, anyone want to watch the kids on Sept 30th so we can do that? I also have a dr. appt. that day). Steven and Carter are going to put in our new flooring on the 1st. October 6th is Savannah's birthday party. Exactly two weeks later is the induction date. Two weeks! Craziness.

Don't get me wrong. I'm ready for her to be here already. If she wants to come earlier, I'm cool with that. Provided it's good for her to come early. Got that little girl? And provided that Carter is home and I don't have to freak out on my own. I just want to see what she looks like. How can that not drive you crazy? I actually looked up the ultrasound place at Southtowne mall the other day because I wanted to see how much it would cost to get a 3D ultrasound. Out of my price range that's for sure. I was really hoping though.

My feet and legs have been swelling on and off. Nothing too worrisome, but still gross to me. Some days though, my feet just kill me. After five minutes of walking I'm in horrible pain. I can't figure that out. I'm totally waddling. I know it. My back has been my biggest discomfort lately. Right around my ribs, mostly on the right side, and especially after eating in the evening, it really hurts. Like, really hurts. Sitting is so uncomfortable and lying down only helps sometimes.

Savannah told me today that she wants us to put the crib right next to her bed so that she can be close to Etta. I told her it would be close enough and that Etta would sleep in our room for a couple months. The girls room is about 90% finished. We just bought the second dresser we needed and now just need to put it together. Ideally, the kids would watch a movie the entire time we put that together, but that's just not going to happen. They always want to help with those projects and then it takes 5 times longer to finish. I've been washing baby clothes the past few days. I know, I know. I have a month to do that, but I'm too excited!! I wanted to look at it all! So now it's all sitting in boxes in their room waiting for that dresser to be built.

Signing off....gotta ask Carter to rub my back.
