50 days until baby is due to grace us with her presence! I'm getting antsy and I'm also back to working full time at the church. They lost their office admin and asked me to step in while they figure out who they will hire. There are a lot of transitions going on there because its so small & has such an aged congregation they have had a hard time bringing in new members. They have just signed on to work as a co-op church with another large Methodist church in the area, which means that more likely than not they will just bring on one of the administrators from the other church. But that means they will need to go through a background check since we have a school here, and it all takes time, so while all this is getting figured out, I'm working 9-5 here. I'm so happy to be able to help out again financially but this time around its super draining and makes the days go by slower. The pregnancy is catching up with me, I'm sore most of the time in my hips and sometimes its agony to walk around, and other times its the sitting that kills my back. And I'm tired and have lost the little energy I have. Luckily its only for a month or two, and it will make me feel better to help while I can.
Baby Girl has been measuring right on schedule, has a strong heart beat, and I believe her newest game is to elbow or knee me in the side. It rarely hurts but its the STRANGEST sensation to have this pointy little thing sticking out- it even grosses Rob out. How strange to think that next month we will be parents! I pre-registered at our hospital, and when I was filling out the birth certificate information, where it says "Mother" and "Father" I kept wanting to put my parents' information! I am getting used to the idea of a baby, but I still am not used to the idea that a baby makes me a mommy. The idea that for the next several years I will be referring to Rob as Daddy in the presence of our kid is just so weird!
Other than that, not too much is new. Our car is making terrifying noises and jerks but still runs and hopefully will for a while yet. The weather has been interesting, with a mixture of 90 degree sunny days and a few tornadoes with winds over 75 miles an hour. I have been nesting, but not very successfully. Especially with work now, I get home so tired that I'm more likely to just get mad at the mess rather than clean it, and when I do start cleaning I get carried away and clean the whole house like we are having company which makes me even MORE tired. I also am frustrated because baby's room is literally just filled with all the baby stuff. Its all in bags and wrappers and just piled in there, and I have no idea what to do with it all. We need to get a dresser and some hangers and a few plastic bins so I can get to organizing like I want to.
That's all folks!
