I am soooooooo unproductive

When the hell am I going to start nesting???? I had my last day of work yesterday. I am 38 weeks today. It is time for the nesting to begin! I think I am overwhelmed- every single square inch of empty space in this house has been enveloped by baby stuff. Yesterday my SIL brought a bouncy seat, pack-and-play, 2 bedding sets, 4 huge boxes of clothes and receiving blankets... we already had too much! I am just sitting here staring at it, not quite knowing what to do.... I guess I could start by sorting it but it is just so much easier to just sit here. I have been up for 5 hours and have accomplished NOTHING.
ETA: not to mention, I had my bag packed for the hospital but I needed bras and undies from it (uh... laundry may be piling up... so I now have to re-pack....

oh mama, i feel for you... (btw, i used to live briefly in st. albans and on mt. desert in bar harbor...i was a live in nanny...) anyway, my birth center bag has sheamas' stuff galore cuz i don't know what i'll want to put him in/what he will fit in...his little tie dye onesie may be too small now that i've washed and dried in dryer...oops. it is really tiny now... but as for stuff for me, clothes aren't in there yet i don't think...i have yogurts and trail mix and such in a bag in my fridge but meghs' broken into that... basically, the stuff is in our old condo, in a suitcase and in fridge and car seat is not in car and camera is not in there and yeah, i'm not too organized yet myself.

i am soooo tired today...yesterday too. and its raining so i don't want to move more stuff from the condo. i did clean out the fish tank. i'm grumpy too....: don't know if its cuz of this strep throat and amoxicillin not seeming to work or what. i'm just so damn tired...and i feel so stuffed full of baby. while megh is bouncing off the walls and pretending to be part tiger/part human girl/part spider/part 'everything' she says...that is why she has hair growing she said. funny girl. she's so beautiful...makes me smile.

i just want to hide under the covers...i'm so beat.

Well, I got out of the shower over an hour ago and have been sitting here online in my towel. I am not even motivated enough to get dressed. I hope nobody comes to the door! I am signing off this dang computer RIGHT NOW to do some stuff. A small project, like the dishes- maybe that will motivate me to do something else. Baby steps...

i am sooooo friggin' tired this morning-why i don't know-i'm worthless!!! i'm grumpy.... mom just came and got megh so i'm gonna nap............................................... .........

could this be impending labor? i'm almost jealous of all these babies coming left and right.....cuz i have no real big signs sheamas is anywhere near being born........ i'm tired. i'm just so tired. and i'm tired of being grumpy ass tired w/ megh who only wnats to play and have fun........ugh. this kind of sucks for her big time. g'nite. gotta take some tums first though as heartburn is kicking in today again...probably from the lasagna i ate last night and now....

I am right there with you. So unproductive. I have baby stuff everywhere and I keep staring at this floor that needs vacuuming, dishes in the sink, and laundry I need to fold and put away. I wish this "nesting" would kick in...shoot, I wish even a small burst of energy would come around....

Yeah... I just put away 2 baskets of clean laundry and would you believe we have a whole laundry basket just of socks that need to be matched up? And a hamper FULL of laundry? DH is a clothes whore. His bureau and closet are bulging and I am not asking him anymore if he wants to hang onto something- I am just going to get rid of it. He thinks his 30x32 pants are still going to fit from high school. I THINK NOT. I can't possibly continue to put clothes away if there is nowhere to put them other than up his butt.

I am overwhelmed.

this sucks...

:i think this amoxicillin isn't working to get me better....i always throught strep throat was a real achey awful sore throat thang but for me its just an achey tired grumpy i feel awful everywhere kind of feeling...that isn't going away and being on antibiotics usually has me feeling better w/in 1-2 days. i don't think this feeling 'ick' is at all pg related...except for the aches in my pubic/leg area of course...and my butt...omg the butt bone just kills me...probably sciatica but i wish it would stop.

the ear thermometer says 99.7 when i take my temp...i feel like i have a low grade temp...but i dunno w/ this thing. hmmm. all i know is i feel like ca-ca. and my leg and hips and pubic area are hurting from baby and i don't like this when labor is up in the air and i don't know when it will start. i called the immediate care people and told them i don't think this amoxicillin is working as i am feeling worse and worse instead of better and better (as is my mother...she also called in for a different Rx). they seemed to take more pity on me being almost 39 wx pg then my mom...either way, we are both not feeling well...thankfully she is feeling better than me today and can be w/ megh at her condo. i guess i'll go back to bed... its a rainy blustery day out there anyway so that is good i guess. omg i feel just awful. plus not to mention i keep wondering when this baby boy is going to be ready to bust outta there...so that keeps me a little on edge as well the past few days as the 21st is nearing closer and closer... my MW appt is tomorrow morning, maybe i should have her check me again...hmmmm i don't know. ok well gonna drink down some real cold water and then back to bed i go....................... :
