Whirlwind

Wow, a lot of things seem to be piling up over here lately. It seems that although I'm busting my buns to get things done, it's all just hitting at once.

The hubby and I had meltdown over taxes the other day since we showed up at our tax appointment without 3 crucial pieces of paperwork. This then became the debate over whose responsibilty it was to keep track of all that crap and then later tearing the torn apart house apart in an attempt to locate said lost items. Rest assured, all items were found and El Hubby should be meeting up with the Tax Man within the next day to two to settle things. I've already made a list of necessary items for next years tax folder - trust me.

Spring break is JUST around the corner. However this year I'm not really anticipating any fun and relaxation. This year, it will be the much needed time that I need to wrap things up at work for the sub that will be filling in for me on my maternity leave. I will also be having the carpets cleaned and hopefully decorating the nursery which is still in the renovation stages. Everything for the nursery is "staged" throughout the house just waiting to be moved into the baby's room.

I've been waffling between where to have little baby sleep when we bring him/her home. Do I pull out the antique cradle, sleep baby in the traditional crib, or buy this new fangled sleeper/rocker from Fisher-Price?
Tonight C and I ran out to the local baby mega store and picked up this infant rocker/sleeper that is inclined and I think I love it. It seems kinda untraditional, but I think it will be a keeper.

Good Lord! It's almost Easter too, and I've been trying to get Easter basket supplies, decide on an Easter egg hunt, attempt to remember that C needs white tights and some white sandels to match her Easter dress, while assuming that one of my relatives (Mom or my Aunt) will host Easter brunch and just tell me when and where to show up.

I've got a couple of social events to attend here in the next few weekend and we're trying to keep all of that straight.

Oh, and yeah we're having a baby at the end of April!!!!!! So...... trying to do the mental and physical preparation for all of that. I am really not sure how I'm going to survive 2:00 feedings. I am set on trying to nurse this time around. I am scared to death about this because it went really badly with our first child. Still I am resolved to try and be the super breast-feeding mom that so many of my friends seem to be able to be. I really wish newborns could sleep through the night though. I a mess without 7-8 hours of good sleep.
