Oh My Aching...

Everything aches today, it seems. My lower back and lower belly area is sore. My gut is not feeling so hot from Maliya's booty and legs all up in there, moving around. And I am pretty tired since I didn't get a nap yesterday or today. So hopefully I can get one tomorrow.

Today I went and voluteered at Boog's school, to help pack supplies for the Gingerbread House project that the kindergarden classes and the 2 sped pre-school classes are doing tomorrow. I had not planned to attend tomorrow to avoid any detachment issues with Dillon by him seeing me and then me having to leave and he would have to stay. So sitting in a chair meant for a 5 year old at a desk that barely came up to my knees when standing...was not fun at all. And after talking to his teacher, she suggested I come tomorrow and see how it goes. If all else fails, I can just leave. But I am hoping it works out because I really do want to see him make a gingerbread house and interact with the other kids!

Mr asked me this morning if I knew what sounded really good for dinner tonight....I replied with "chicken noodle soup" and he agreed. My Aunt had posted on her Facebook yesterday about making some and it made me get a craving. So tonight I am going to make a double batch of soup so we have more leftovers than normal! It gets eaten so fast because Mr just absolutely loves it! And he isn't a chicken noodle soup eater either, he prefers his tomato soup-at-hand cans. But he loves my soup and says we should sell it because it's so good :) Makes me feel good that he enjoys it that much!! So I am looking forward to eating some soup for dinner, although I am not looking forward to standing there and cutting the veggies since my lower back is already hurting. I may just sit at the table and cut them up so at least I can sort of rest at the same time.

I am half done with my two classes...it has been a struggle getting through them. I have just been so tired, but I have over an 80% in both classes as of right now so that is good. They are pretty easy, not much paper writing at all and the papers I did have to write I got perfect grades on, much to my surprise. So that was cool! It's mostly discussion questions and replies to classmates for participation points. The participation is what I am slacking on. But...I'm doing the best I can despite being 7 months pregnant and just physically and emotionally exhausted all the time!

Tonight I am probably going to go buy Maliya's carseat. Babies R Us is having the best sale right now until December 24th. Carseats are $20 off if they cost over $100 and the one I want is about $130. They also have a sale on strollers (same one as carseats) but I will wait on that because I won't really be needing it right away. Plus after the first of the month I want to order her bedding set which is around $170 (ish) and then hopefully in January or February get her swing and bouncer. They don't even come out until January anyways, same with the bedding.

This coming Sunday my friend is going to come watch Dillon so I can go to my labor and delivery tour. Mr has to work that night and I figured I'd ask my friend to watch him so that way Mr can get enough sleep for work. He may not do a whole lot while he's at work, but sitting at a desk for 12 hours has to be boring and exhausting! Plus I think he works a few days in a row so he'll definitely need all the sleep he can get. I just wanted to help him out in that area and make sure he gets enough rest!! She offered to help me put the baby's crib together but I think I am going to save that for Mr and I to do together. I do want to do that sometime in the near future, maybe after the New Year. I still have to clear out her corner of our room anyway. I can't wait to start all of this stuff...as I mentioned before, I feel like I am running out of time and that there is so much to still do!
