Not much happening in the world of Nicole right now. Lots of waiting and stressing about everything I have to do – but not finding the motivation to actually do it.

I had someone come by and give me an estimate on how much it is going to cost to have the house cleaned (it’s not cheap for a one off clean but worth it if it means one less thing to worry about). She also taught me how to use the self-cleaning feature on my oven so that was totally worth some money right there. Of course now the house smells like burnt oven…

The problem I am going to have is finding a place for everything before Mum gets here next week. I had to take everything out of Thomas’ closet so they could put the heating vents up there and now the closet shelves don’t fit properly. Which means getting them cut to size before I can reassemble.

I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and everything is normal – blood pressure, belly measurement, pee (OK – too far). I think this baby is going to wait until the c-section. I just don’t have the “I’m ready” feeling I had with Thomas a week before he was due. Thomas was a week early and I worked until 6pm the night before he was born – went into labour at 9pm. It’s a good thing I didn’t get stuck in traffic on the freeway.

The nurse did warn me about the ninety degree weather we are expecting next week. Pffft – I lived through a full summer pregnancy last time – I can survive a couple of warm days. Just need to make it to my pedicure next Sunday and then I’m good. My mum is also hoping the baby will wait. Thanks to Thomas’ early arrival she missed seeing me pregnant last time.

Oh, and we no longer have a home phone. A dispute with Qwest turned a little nasty and we had our phone disconnected as a result. I am not paying to have it reconnected – partly on principle and partly because this caused us to realize that we can make cheaper long distance calls with my cell phone.

Ok – I am reading this and realize it is about the most boring post EVER so I will put you out of your misery. Happy Mothers day to everyone this weekend. I have been promised pancakes for breakfast on Sunday and I will be giving myself a nice long lie down as a gift.
