Nesting

There are only 17 days left until my due date, and I am waiting for the "nesting" instinct to kick in. (Actually, I'm still waiting for it from when Drew and Gracie were born ... it never came!) I hear stories of moms who clean their house from top to bottom before going into labor, and think that would be so nice. My house could definitely use the cleaning! Maybe I should just get busy and do some cleaning and the extra work would send me into labor. :)

Update: It is now 15 days until my due date. Gracie was born 13 days early, so I am hoping that means that this little guy could make his appearance any day now. (Drew was only 3 days early, but I'm trying to be positive!)

I haven't been sleeping well at all, and I am SO tired. It is just past 3:30 AM and I got tired of tossing and turning in bed, so I decided to get up. I have a doctor's appointment today, and they are planning to do a sonogram to estimate the baby's weight (my guess is 9+ pounds). I also get to have blood drawn again. Ugh. And I have to take Drew and Gracie with me to the appointment because I don't have a babysitter. My husband has a meeting at work and won't be able to come to the appointment. I'm not looking forward to it.

I am trying to decide what to do now that I am up. Maybe I should pick up the family room downstairs. Or maybe I'll just curl up on the couch for a while ...
