I'm sitting here with a totally open day in front of me. No husband, no commitments, no laundry left to do (I had another lovely burst of nesting as I was trying to put off preparing for the presentation I had to give in my CFP class last night. Which went great, thanks for asking. There's nothing like standing up and giving a talk in front of your colleagues when you look like Jabba the Preggo.) and nothing urgently requiring my attention. It's a strange feeling. I'm usually so BUSY, you know. And now I can't decide between taking Alex to the library or for a swim in the public pool or just to Target. The sad thing is that if I weren't so godawfully pregnant, I could easily do all three before noon.
I'm never this indecisive! We need to hit Target and the library, but I guess I'll pack along our swimsuits just in case. There. Decision made. I hope I have the energy for all three because floating weightlessly in pool? Sounds like a level of heaven too heavenly to possibly exist.
I've also been putting off my Baby Sister To Do List, which currently contains only a few items like pack for the hospital, address the envelopes for the snail mail announcements, come up with a list for e-mail announcements, put a clean sheet on the crib, install the co-sleeper and car seat and buy/build a bike/trike thing for Alex. The boy has ALMOST figured out how to use pedals at this point and we want to encourage that. And what better way to distract him from the realization that he is being replaced by a younger model, right? HERE'S A NEW BIKE! IT IS SO SHINY! I figure I'll be able to sneak Baby Sister through the front door without him even noticing.
Blah blah blah. Come back tomorrow, maybe by then I will have found my brain again!

I am so looking forward to coming over and being entertained by Alex when Little Sister arrives. Or whatever it is I must do!! Does not matter what time of day or night!

You do more when you are "godawful" pregnant than I ever feel like doing. And a little brain fuzz and indecisiveness is to be expected. Remember the little one inside sucks up all brian power. It'
