8 more days~!!

Only 8 more days until I finally get to meet this little girl! 8 more days until we check into the hospital, at some very obscene hour of 5am!, and get ready for my 5th c-section. 8 more days until I can be alone and get some rest!

Okay, the getting rest may not actually happen, but I am looking forward to not taking care of the other 6 kids for a couple of days. Does that sound mean? It's certainly not that I don't love them or love taking care of them. It's just that I am so tired these days that it's been a bit more challenging than normal.

I plan on finishing the living room cleanup today and starting on my bedroom which will involve getting the pack-n-play set up and getting some newborn girl clothes out of storage. That will be fun! I won't start that, however, until I have the living room done, done, done. Hopefully it won't take too long. The tree is outside and most of the decorations are put into the boxes. It's just a matter of putting away the rest of the Christmas stuff and toys that the kids got, vacuuming, and moving the furniture (I think I'll let Brian do that). I usually like to keep our decorations up until Jan. 6th, the Epiphany, but with this baby coming and all, we have a lot of work to do to get ready and just felt the need to put it all away this year. It makes me a little sad. We didn't do much with Advent or some of the other Christmas activities that we normally do, but I am 9 months pregnant and I keep telling myself that it just is the way it is.

Until then...8 more days, 8 more days, 8 more days!!!
