I have broncitis and am on antibotics in a few days all my inlaws arrive while I am 2 days away from giving birth, and being sick so keep me in your prayers. I am feeling miserable and the thought of having to clean the house and entertian are not really on my list of happy things right now. lol

I can't believe it's so close. I will spend the 4th of July in the hospital this year. Maybe I'll see fireworks out the window.lol I think I will be to tired to care! Please remember our troops and all those overseas who can't be with their loved ones on that day. I know a lot of military moms and it can be really hard.

Well sorry it's short but I have to go get the little one out of the bath. On a happpier note the floor people did come today and if all goes well with how it lays they shouldn't have to come back again. Yea!

Still will have work to do after the baby arrives though but it will be done by someone I know a bit better so it won't be as horrible as trying to excuse yourself to breastfeed in front of strangers. lol

Thanks all, for all the advice and for making me feel better about things. I am now 10 days away!! I can't believe it!! I am still a bit nervous but I know it will all work out in the end. Any advice on how to lose the 40 to 50 pounds I will need to lose is very welcome. With two kids I don't have time to stay tired and overweight! You've all been so helpful I am looking forward to all the ideas and things that worked for others.

Sometimes I feel knee deep in life, that like Anna I need to just stop and put on some boots to wade through it all. My bathtub is leaking, my sink needs replacing, the woods floors are going to have to be replaced and most of them redone. That's leaving out all the little things that were left undone. Did I mention I am coming up on being 3 weeks away from baby number 2 arriving?

My stress level is really rising along with my anxeity of how in the world I am going to do all of this. My mom's consulation was it could be worse! Well thanks a lot but does that advice ever really make anyone feel better? I didn't think so. My friend Olga who's a new mommy with 2 kiddos now says you really have to take it one day at a time and it will be really hard but it eventually gets better. That made me feel a bit better. I just wish all the stuff with the house was finished b/c since it isn't means it will be going on after I have a c-section and am trying to breastfeed and I think breastfeeding in front of strangers is so fun too.LOL I know some people don't mind it but it's definetley not on my list of things to do!

Anyway I could really use some prayers from whoever takes the time to read this. I read a blog title before and it said "read by tens of people each day" I thought wow she has 10 people who actually read her blog! She said it as a joke but I think total that's probably how many people have ever read my rantings. So those of you reading this pray for me you may be the only prayer I get today.
Thanks

Anna was presenting me with her chocolate chip play doh cookies. She made those and crayon mountian as she called her second creation.
