Finished!

I always feel a bit relieved after my turn at sharing time in Primary. This time, I felt even more relief, not my turn again until November! And November seems a long time away at this point in time.

Really, it shouldn't be too big of a deal, I only do sharing time once a month, but it seems like I crash and burn more often than not. And, it's just one thing to check of the long long list of things I must check off before this baby is born, which is bringing the most relief.

The list includes a huge amount of sewing, things that may or may not get done. Cleaning the whole house really really well. Pretty sure this will happen, I have some other things that motivate me here. I really want to get the carpets cleaned, but I am not sure if this will happen before or after baby. We have a lot of soccer, football, and school things to do in the mean time. There is the Primary Program, a big trip to Costco with my mom, at least one more dinner with Nate's family. I need to buy a car seat, and I would like a baby monitor. I need to get some onesies-how do I have none of these. I need to wash a few baby clothes. I now have some diapers and wipes at least-due to my lovely friends who had a baby shower/dinner with me last week. That was a ton of fun and they all got me so many cute cute things! Anyway, there is more on the list I know, but it is getting all rambly and I feel a bit overwhelmed as I look over it.

Jack scored his first goal of the season last soccer game! I am so excited for him. It feels good to get at least one a season under your belt. Nate and I both missed it, but we got a pretty good play by play. I think the kids could be a sports announcer if he wanted to. He is always doing play by play with the pros whenever we watch a game of anything anywhere. Nate's sophomores won their game on Thursday as well. I feel so happy when they win and his defense does well. It's pretty much like having another kid in sports! And the varsity team won their game on Friday night, breaking a two year losing streak. The kids and I went to this game and had hot dogs and hamburgers. Bella liked the hot dog, didn't like the game.

Bella started preschool this week. A few other moms in the neighborhood and I are getting our kiddos together and rotating. She was pretty excited, it's only once a week for two hours, but I can tell she loves it and feels like such a big big girl. I think it will help her to have something of her own to look forward to each week.

I had my first in a series of weekly doctors appointments this past week. When you get to your third pregnancy, these appointments are just annoying. I am fully aware I could walk around dilated and effaced to a certain number for several weeks. And I know that any new aches, pains, or symptoms are likely to be met with the response-you will feel better when the baby is born. I really like my doctor, and the tech is just a sweet thing, and with your first baby all these appointments are exciting. But now, I just think of them as an opportunity to go see my friend Shelly and go shopping up north. That alone makes it worth the trip.
