Get ready!! Lol. I was soooo bored but now I only have 18 days left and just had my baby shower sunday. So I've been nesting since then, trying to decide which outfits to pack, removing tags & washing then folding, setting up her room, I'm literally exhausted my brain is fuzzing ans cluttered so I go back and forth instead of finishing one at a time, my entire body kills but my back is lethal, my sciatica is acting up because she's pushing on nerves and I have 2 ruptured discs, but somehow all of a sudden nesting kicks in and I wanna do all this stuff. Oh and insomnia on top if it all, I can't fricken sleep AND we have a toddler, she will be 3 right after her little sister gets here. SLEEP WHILE YOU STILL CANNNNNN!!!! Hahahaha. It's all worth it though, I promise!! <3

Lol that right there is why I didnt take maternity leave until I had the baby. I needed something to keep me busy. I also have a 5 year old so that helped but the last few weeks I just made sure everything for baby was done and clean and organized. Get all the sleep you can now cause once baby is here that becomes a foreign word lol
