I need a Costco run and to vacuum. So i guess that is what we will do, and make dinner -UGH I don't like cooking. many months of cooking doesn't appeal to me at all

Mommy2Isabella replied: lol. This week for us will be CLEANING week ... we have family coming for christmas and Isaia's room isn't even partially finished!!

Try to enjoy your time with Jack before the baby gets here ...

lovemy2 replied: I wondered how you were doing - home with BOTH your boys!!! Remember to take it easy too

moped replied:
Ha, yeah well Tom went to get the oil changed in both vehicles this morning and has a pile of work........so that is good.

I feel 2 weeks of boredom setting in.

And it is soooo cold outside I hate to take Jack out too far ya know!

luvmykids replied: I'm sure you will find something to do Try to rest up, you make me tired just talking about all the stuff you've gotten done

Calimama replied: Sleep! You may never get to again.

A&A'smommy replied: Hey you don't have much longer.. try to make some mommy and jack time before the baby gets here. How far along will you be when you have your repeat c?

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: How about making frozen meals for after the baby comes? Also, sit down with Jack, play some games, read books, give him a lot of one-on-one time....Or create a special place in your basement (if you have one) or his room where he can go when you're doing something with Laila. Like a reading corner. I think I may make one for Wil soon. He loves to read books, so we keep bins of books in his room, but I would like one of those cushy chairs from Pottery Barn Kids so that he has a special place to read. Let Jack pick things out to decorate his "space" so that he is excited to go there. Just an idea.

For cooking, I make a menu for each week so that I know what I'm going to make. It also helps me not spend too much at the store because I only get what's on the list.

Two weeks will go fast Jen! Just enjoy and relax! Like I said before, go get a pedi or something like that.

Can't sleep _ jack is up

lisar replied:
I agree.

holley79 replied: Oh yea you are goign to go stir crazy and probably goign to slap DH before Leila gets here.

moped replied: Well technically I am still employed until the 15th, and did some work today remotely....and did the Costco run and cleaned 3 bathrooms and working on laundry......ok Day 1 almost done!

luvbug00 replied: Aww I wish i was near by I LOVE to cook! could've helped with that. But anyhoo maybe get a new book or work on whatever hobbies you may have? Have Jack help you make sure the Babies stuff is where you want it or maybe have him write a letter to read to his baby sister when she get's bigger about how he feels about her comming? I dunno..
