Anxious

I have no idea what the heck is wrong with my toilet (lovely way to start an entry, no?). It’s either the water pressure is super low as always or (gulp) one of the children dropped a wash cloth in there and it’s now clogged to hell. It already overflowed all over my soft, light blue bath rug. I’m afraid to pee, which really sucks because I need to pee all the time.

Today was a really low-key kind of day. I didn’t go anywhere today, which is a nice change. I spent most of the day cleaning house which was way overdue, heh. Jason came over with his laptop in tow and connected everything to play Xbox Live with John and the boys. Gave me time to do everything I needed to do without being interrupted.

I wrapped and boxed my breakables that I still had strewn around my bedroom so I can take them to storage. I’ve just realized that it’s November and according to my Last Menstrual Period, I’m 7 months pregnant as of today (Tuesday, if we go by Alaethia’s size). If I recall correctly, every year it seems that once November gets here the new year gets here just as fast. At first it felt like the pregnancy was slithering by, but just today I started getting that panic-y feeling like, ‘Shoot, I need to hurry up and get everything ready!’. Now that Alaethia’s constantly moving around and that her elbows and knees are clearly visible as she moves them across my belly, reality’s set in. I’m going to be the mother of 3 by the end of January!

I need to make a list of all the stuff we need to get. I need to finish organizing our closets. I need to get rid of that darn dresser. We need to put the crib together. I need to go through storage boxes and get all the baby stuff I need out of them, plus unisex stuff like onsies all washed and ready. I’m getting incredibly excited and nervous! And on top of it all, we definitely need to start Christmas shopping! I seriously can’t believe it’s already November!

I have my 28 week doctor’s appointment this Wednesday; let’s hope all is well. I wouldn’t doubt if this little lady already turned (Jaylen turned by 7 months) what with the way she kicks me in the ribs O_o. I’m also looking foward to Tuesday, which is when Mayra will hopefully come over to visit for a while :). This is going to be a great week!

P.S. Desperate Housewives was so awesome tonight. I watched it after spending about an hour outside with Mario while he waited for the fire to successfully start so he could bar-b-q. We had a talk yesterday about how our relationship’s been going lately and we’re doing better than before now, thank goodness. When I came in to watch Desperate Housewives I remembered he likes peanuts with his beer, so I took him some. He calls me from his cellphone and says, “It’s nice how you brought me peanuts. That’s why I’ll never leave you; because of the little things like that.” Aww :).

Anyway, the woman who got killed was totally not who I expected it to be. I thought it would be Edie Britt for some reason. I didn’t watch TV for most of yesterday so it was a surprise when I turned the TV on this afternoon and Doogie Howser’s gay and Sadam Hussein will be hung?! Crazy!
