It's Really Going to Happen

I have to admit that with all the running around after three children and the fact that I really thought Colden was my last baby, I've been a bit detached from this pregnancy. It hasn't felt real. When you are pregnant with your first, you notice everything. You are eager to meet your baby as soon as you test positive. Your whole world becomes baby-centered. By the fourth, you almost forget about it unless you feel a strong jab to the bladder or ribs.

Since I had donated almost all of Colden's 0-6 month clothing, I've been kinda keeping an eye out for deals on clothes for the new guy. Zulilly has had some really great deals. I've ordered three or four outfits and the first two came in today from Sage Creek Organics. My heart did a little squeeze as I opened up the packages and looked them over. I'm really going to have a new little guy in those in just a few months (I'm six-months tomorrow). I'm finally starting to get eager to meet him and so are the girls, Olivia especially.

Student and Pregnant Single Mom

As most you know, Matt deployed last week for nine months. So, aside from supporting us financially, he's almost an non-entity. I'm a pregnant, single mom to three children. So far, all has been relatively calm. On day two a bird flew into the house but I was able to successfully get him out. One of my professors didn't update her online blackboard with the correct assignment due dates. I thought they were due in August. When I checked my university email early this week, I found I had six assignments due by the end of this week. Yikes!! No biggie, right?

Environmental Science Textbook - A subject that bores the living daylights out of me

Well, depends on how you look at it. I have mornings to work on homework while Colden is at school, however, I had appointments and/or events Tuesday morning, Thursday and Friday. So, when I am home, I'm doing homework. My house is getting a mess again. I sweep, cook, load and unload the dishwasher, and that's about it. The floors need a good mopping, laundry needs to be done, general pick-up is lacking in each room. But, if I did all that, I wouldn't sleep. Single, pregnant women need sleep. I could drop my two classes but I really need to make some forward progress here. The classes aren't hard but they are time consuming. I have four quizzes to take between now and tomorrow night. That's about four hours worth of work. I can do it and I'll just have to live with the fact that I'll be spending my weekend cleaning. Yuck. Anyhoo. No need getting upset about it all! I'll promise the kids a couple hours at the local pool and, maybe a short play date over the weekend. Good enough, right? Anyone with three kids knows that they will cry boredom in between each of those things and call me the "worst, most boring mom ever." Spoiled much?
