I have 7 weeks left until my scheduled c-section. The addition has technically been started (we have the pad built up and the next step is the slab). In the meantime, I'm trying to declutter and make room for baby as things currently stand. That means adding her to our already overcrowded bedroom. I've already stripped the cloth diapers and put them in the closet. I will do a final wash just before her arrival. I've borrowed a bassinet, but I need to get the bedding washed. All her clothes have been washed, but need to be folded and put away. I still don't have a car seat, but MIL is buying us an infant seat. She also mentioned throwing me a family shower, but I have yet to hear anymore about it. I do still need to get my swing and bouncy seat from camp and get those washed. Other than that, it's just trying to get the house decluttered, cleaned and in order before her arrival. The girls are with their Dad this whole week, so hopefully I can make some progress. I did manage to get all the peas picked, but the beans have me overwhelmed, lol.
I wish I could say there was a new baby here, but no luck on the TTC front. We've be busy with work work work. I work at a clinic providing behavior services to autistic children and we are right in the middle of summer camp. I have 3 wonderful little ones in my class. I love my kiddos but I'm ready to get back to our normal schedule!! Summer camp at work has meant putting Trey in childcare. We have 2 babysitters that come to the house and keep him on different days. He absolutley loves them, but it is really expensive and I'm working just to pay for childcare right now. This fall, he will go back to work with me
That is about all that's going on here.
I agree with how much easier it is to get caught up with housework when you don't have the option to do anything else...my DH accidentally took my keys today, so I did more housework than usual.

Well I have been busy with a newborn and my snowpea and two older children. My older boys are about ready to head back to school and I will be heading back to work next week after a very loooooooooooooong 12 week maternity leave. I thought it might be enjoyable to be home with the kids for the summer but I really do miss being social with adults!? I love my children more than anything in the world but I was not cut out to be a SAHM. Other than that nothing new here, daydreaming of buying a new house but can't get my DH on board with that. I just want something that is updated. The market right now in Denver is awesome for buyers, not so much for sellers so we wouldn't have an easy time selling our house (or getting what we want for it.) We have a big house to accomodate us right now so it's not too terrible.
