What to do, what to do....

Saw the doctor the other day. We both agree that I am still pregnant.

I am now partially convinced that St. Ann's canonization could have happened merely on the fact that she delivered the Blessed Mother on Sept. 8th. If it be God's will I would love to only have winter babies from now on.

So many times over the past week I have found myself motivated to work but just not physically capable of doing it. As we speak Mr. Sloth is redoing the garage and the children are sleeping. I however, with my swollen feet and hands can see nothing better to do than to sit on my couch in the air conditioning. Even that isn't helping much.

In case you are wondering I have made some progress with baby preparations. Earlier this week I started collecting all the newborn clothes only to find I was missing our boy clothes and neutral clothes. After 24 hours of obsessing including one sleepless night where I asked Mr. Sloth at 2:30am if they might be at his office, I finally found them at Obscures home in a mislabeled bin. I always have a mix of feelings sorting through baby clothes but this time it was different. Not only do I have memories attached to Happy's clothes but a hand full of them are the ones he wore in Europe. It brought back such fun un-pregnant memories. Maybe Mr. Sloth is right, maybe we should go back this Spring...

I have come to the realization that we have too much baby equipment for this house yet I am unwilling to get rid of any just yet. We have a mini packnplay that we use for baby for the first 7 months,then we have a regular packnplay, we may be bringing in another swing so we'll have one upstairs and one downstairs, plus we have the travel swing that fits the infant car seat, plus our baby seat and if it's a girl we have a bouncer now, and an excersaucer. One day Mr. Sloth is going to go on a baby equipment rampage. So much stuff! The good news is that I've decided for now that baby will stay in our room until they are too big for the mini packnplay, which is usually around 7 months. And then we'll just put baby in with the other kids. Happy is getting close to being able to get out of his crib and when that happens it's bunk bed time! We can go cheap and baby friendly with the Ikea bed which has one mattress on the floor and the top bed is only about chest high on an adult (not too far to fall). Or.....I have been checking out some super-awesome bunkbeds online, but maybe we'll save that for the next house.

Even though I'm feeling rather pregnant-lazy these days it doesn't keep me from *thinking* I can do everything which is why we are planning a little Assumption party for tomorrow. I'm sure I got carried away with planning so we'll see how much I actually get done tomorrow.

Speaking of over achieving. I have a habit of only surrounding myself with friends who are smarter and more talented than myself. I don't know if self-tortured or inspirational but it seems to work out that way. You'll notice I'm following the blog of my ever talented college roommate (and Happy's Godmother). She has started a sewing blog and every post makes me simultaneously jealous of her talent and angry that she doesn't live next door. So whenever you are bored hearing about what that Lazywife *didn't* do, check out her blog The Chipper Snipper.

I will now proceed to move some baby stuff around and pretend that I did something.
