Sleep, Dinner and Organizing

Yesterday dadi came home from work pretty early. We just hung out while moma took her nap. then when she woke up, he took her shopping with him. he went to walmart and to sams club and i stayed home and cleaned both the kids rooms. i organized all the toys and moved the "baby" toys into the babies room. everything looks so great!! dadi bought moma a Dora the explorer fishing rod for our trip to mammoth in September. she was really excited when she came home and got to show me. when she gets excited she forgets how to talk and just grunts at me. so all i hear is her coming up the stairs going "aaahhh.... uuuuhhhh... aaarrrrrr" so i knew she was pretty excited. After that my visiting teacher brought us a yummy dinner. she brought corn, rice and a ginger chicken that i need to get the recipe for since it was so delicious. it was so nice not to have to cook or think about what i was making for dinner. i really needed that. after i cleaned the kids rooms i started having a ton of contractions but they weren't the real ones so it was just annoying to have them and be uncomfortable. i had 6 in an hour and a half!! then once moma went down for the night, i told dadi i was going to go and lay down and read for a while, well........ at 8:00, i was out cold!! i didn't wake up until 11:30 when i had to make my first bathroom run of the night. i woke up a total of four times last night for bathroom runs, but i got to sleep until moma woke up at 7:00. I'm so happy. it was wonderful. I'm so tired all the time. i really hope it gave me enough sleep to have a good amount of energy today. that would be great. i asked dadi to help me for one hour each day in getting this house all fixed up for when the baby comes home so that i don't have to do anything. he said for me just to relax and not worry about anything but i can't do that. he said he would just clean the house while i was in the hospital for me. i told him that i couldn't go into labor knowing that the house is not perfect for when i come home with the baby. i've neglected it so badly during this pregnancy since i never feel very good. so every day when he comes home we are going to set the timer for one hour and get things done. then i can "boss" him around to do all the hard stuff like vacuuming and carrying things up and down the stairs. before i had moma, the house was spotless everyday for 3 weeks and before i went to bed each night, i made sure that every piece of laundry was put away and every dish. i was a nesting maniac then, but this time i just don't have the energy to do it. so i put an hour time limit on myself and i figured if dadi could help me for that hour we could really make some progress and keep it maintained. it's so hard with a little two year old running around and messing it all up over and over again. she does okay picking up her toys when we ask her to, but it takes her so long since she gets distracted easily and we end up doing most of her picking up for her just so it can be done faster. anyways, today's list of chores is to clean our bedroom and bathroom and water the plants in the yard and pick up dog poop. with both of us working we can get it all done. the entire upstairs will be clean after today and then we just will have to keep it that way until the baby is born. oh, i still need to pack my hospital bag too, but i know exactly what i need, i just need to actually put it in the bag. i'm not too concerned about it right now since i could always have dadi bring it for me. they have everything at the hospital for you anyways so i really just need some coming home outfits for me and the kid.
