Slowing down

Somehow I ended up on my back last night sleeping, not the best when waking up and attempting to walk to the restroom and you have a turned back who's head is pushing on some sort of nerve that causes your lower back to scream in pain. Hobbling, I made it. Back to the bed to lay on my side and try to convince the little one to turn back around.

For the most part today my lower back hasn't been too delighted with things. When I get up from sitting, I hobble - it hurts to lift my leg and hurts to put pressure on it to walk. About 30ft+ I'm ok and it settles out. It all makes for very slow moving, when everything is already slow as it is.

It's been a pretty quiet day here today. Jonah mowed the lawn and is going to weed wack tomorrow. I worked inside washing windows, cabinets, and the floor.... realizing that baby must have grown a bit again, since I had a foot on the base of my ribs that kept leaving it difficult to breathe.

Jennifer has continued to be a big help. I watched her kids while she rode today, and after getting back she tried to help with cleaning the carpets.... only for it to be realized that the roller wasn't working right. I'm hoping I can fix that tomorrow and get the carpets done.

I went through all the baby clothes today and separated out boy newborn/0-3mo clothes as well as girls. For a moment it crossed my mind how much easier it would be just to know if this baby was a boy or a girl, and asking the dad momentarily crossed my mind :P Naaa - waiting for the surprise! I went through blankets, cloth diapers, disposables, onsies, and outfits. Everything else was packed up. The carseat's straps are now adjusted and the seat is ready for the baby.

There's not too much left to do, comparatively - but there's still plenty. I think inside, my main concern are the carpets - I sure hope to get the roller fixed tomorrow. Outside, it's just normal cleanup and organizing the shed :)
