28 Weeks Later

Is this gonna be a story about how after 28 weeks of "infection", I turn into a human-eating zombie? Well....kinda. I'm in the final leg of my pregnancy. The baby is getting bigger and I am getting bigger. So I'm not sleeping very well, and it makes me kinda cranky (*hence the human-eating zombie, although the "eating" is just a metaphor; I just bite your head off for no reason over stupid little things).

I just had my visit to my wonderful midwife Peggy and she says that I am doing fine and so is the baby. I am weighing more this pregnancy than with either of the two girls; I just hit the 170 lbs. mark, so I'm wondering if this baby is gonna be bigger. Peggy says 'no' but I have my doubts. The most I weighed pregnant at any given point, up until now, was 172 lbs, and that was the day I went into labor. I also haven't gotten very large during this pregnancy, I think my legs are actually more toned than before. So I am hoping my extra weight gain is muscle and not baby. (knock on wood).

Being so busy with 2 littles, working, family time, husband time, etc. this pregnancy has really gone by fast, a little too fast. There are 74 days left until the baby gets here and now I am a little freaked because I haven't gotten even half my list done. I guess it's turbo-nesting time. :) Here's my list of everything I would like to get done:

1. Get a deep freezer **Done**
2. Buy a bed for baby and I to rest/nurse/sleep on **Done**
3. 21 dinners pre-made in the deep freezer
4. 7 servings of pancakes in the freezer (56 total)
5. find a good muffin recipe
6. 7 servings of muffins in the freezer (28 total)
7. 2 family sized servings of 4 different soups frozen in freezer (Artichoke, broccoli,_______, ________.)
8. 30 activity kits for the girls--hands on projects they can do without me, while I breast feed, etc.
9. organize the girls' closet
10. organzie the bookshelves in our room--get rid of unused books
11. sell the quad

I know it seems like alot of food but I remember after each of the girls were born I had no energy at all and I was hungry; hungry and thirsty all the time. (because of breast feeding I'm sure) Plus, this will be the first time I have more kids than I have hands to hold each of them (literally a juggling act) and I want to get into a routine as seamless as possible! Not having to cook, at first, will be a BIG help. :)
