What do ya do?

...when you are waiting for baby? In no particular order:

--Sleep restlessly and wake for hours on end during the night.
--wipe down every ledge and nook/cranny you can imagine.
--find odd things to do like clean the ceiling of the porch (Josh graciously did this).
--take your family member's clothing directly from them as they get ready for bed so there aren't any clothes unwashed.
--wash doors/windows a hundred times over.
--clean out the refrigerator over and over.
--organize and clean closets.
--make sure checkbook is up to date.
--paint things that need touched up.
--try to take a nap only to have your head trying to think up things that must need done.
--water the yard.
--sit outside and enjoy the weather.
--go on long walks.
--go out to eat.
--check Facebook.
--organize the girl's room and purge a few things.
--organize the girl's shoe drawers--throw away some and pass down the others.
--organize girl's drawers.
--devise some landscaping that needs done like a few more bushes removed and ivy removed from the foundation. I detest our ivy and am not a fan of bushes...reasons...ivy goes out of control quickly which I don't like, and the bushes are too much maintenance and I hate when they look scraggly.
--feel contractions here and there.
--sit and talk about when you think the big event will arrive.
--do school with the girls.
--go to work.
--clean floors--over and over.
--get bottles ready (boil & wash)
--organize kitchen cabinets.
--pull weeds outside.
--organize paperwork at the house.
--water flowers.
--watch a bit of tv.
--write on your blog every now and then.
--wonder when...
--do dishes as soon as anything hits the sink.
--clean window coverings.
--read.
--prop feet up every now and then.
--wonder some more.
--visit the doctor.
--go to the grocery store.
--dust whatever you can think of...
--write.
--enjoy each other's company.
--enjoy the little kicks and movements.
--eat--while you still can!
--listen to the crickets-the iconic sound of summer.
and then hope you haven't forgotten anything before baby arrives!
