2 weeks

I have so much to do in the next two weeks. I have to finish everything I need to for school, thank goodness my teachers are giving us finals the week before finals this semester. Though that's one less week to work on my final projects.

I have to get mentally prepared for this little boy to come into our lives.

Hopefully get the house as spic and span as possible before he comes, too.

The yard is a mess. But I really have no idea when that's going to get done. I'm too tired to do it now, too much homework to do, and too many other things on my mind. Then the baby will be here and the yard still won't get cleaned up. Yikes, it's gonna get ugly.

I really need to get as prepared as I can. I know this baby is going to come and my world is going to turn upside down. Going from one beautiful, self-capable 4 and a half year old, to two children is going to be crazy. I'm so out of newborn mode. I haven't had to change or buy diapers for two years. I haven't had to nurse or wake up in the night multiple times for four years. Wowza.

On the other hand, I am ecstatic. I am thrilled to have a little boy, and thrilled to be a mom to two beautiful kids. I am excited that Adelaide will finally get to have the experience of a sibling and to see how sweet she'll be with her baby brother. It's going to be crazy but amazing all at the same time. I think I'm going to have sensory/emotional overload.

Life is complicated. It's amazing how things happen and line up in a certain way. It seems to know what it's doing, even if we don't know exactly what's going on. Though we may not like it or understand why things are the way they are, it always works out and happiness seems to follow. I like it.
