A big issue keeping me from it is that I just want to lie down when Quinnlan naps and at the end of the day, I just want to sit in our big red chair with my feet up and do NOTHING until I get tired of doing that and go to bed.
I know, I know, what a thrilling life I lead.
I have this giant goal of getting caught up on our family scrapbook(s) before Baby arrives...it doesn't sound too ambitious except for the fact that the last page in the scrapbook before I fell off the scrapping wagon is the summer before Quinnlan was born (that would be Summer 2008). The poor child is not even represented.
Typical 3rd child, right?
I don't see how I kept up with it having twins at home...but I guess it was still just 2 kids. Adding one more kid to the mix just threw off my Mojo, I guess.
But, I am determined to do as much as I can before Baby #4 comes so I can feel a little on top of things---starting with actually uploading pictures to Snapfish so I can make the giant order...I forgot how long it takes to do this (I am actually uploading in another screen as I type---I'm up to October 2009, so I have a ways to go).
I also have a goal of cleaning out our closet and making a trip to Goodwill and possibly try and consign some stuff. I have gone through the shoes, but haven't touched the clothes yet.
Our dining room table is covered with things I need to "get to" as well: stacks of Mia and Chloe's artwork from the past couple of years that I want to go through and decide what to keep and what to toss. This may be one of the hardest things I want to tackle. I am a hoarder when it comes to anything like this. I have a hard time deleting pictures when they are blurry, much less anything my kids have done. I have bought the big long bins, so I am one step closer to this project.
I could go on and on, but it is stressing me out. And I've read somewhere that it's not good to be preggo and stressed :)
Other than all of the complaining about being behind, the pregnancy is going well. I am 33 weeks along and I am counting the days till August 14th, at the latest, when my c-section is scheduled. This Atlanta heat is unreal, not even with my internal thermostat being bonkers. The baby is all over the place at all times of the day and night. If I was more "together" I could post some pictures of me and my big ol' belly. But, I have not taken any. Shocker. I will take some soon and then you can think what Mia said to me today (in the IKEA bathroom---a very private place): "Mommy, your belly is as big as a pig's!" Thanks, honey...even with a baby in there, that doesn't sound good.
One thing I do feel good about is that I have actually made a post on my blog...yay ME!

So glad to see another post from you although disappointed there are no pregnancy pics!
I'm totally behind as well and not even pregnant with #4 but I totally fell off the scrapbook wagon before annie was born too. I've got to get her books "started"....goodness.
Let me know if I can help you with anything...I'd love to have a playdate with y'all!
hey, greer! do you scrapbook online? if not, you should think about it. shutterfly and snapfish make it SO easy to do. just keep your pics uploaded and in chronoglogical order and it makes it so much easier when it is time to put it all together. you can still add your own handwriting when you receive your completed album. you can also stick those artwork pages in the album. just stuff them in there...OR take a picture of the artwork you are not sure about. you can always frame a "picture" of it. ;) just an idea. i am all about the "saving everything they make" mantra as well. :)
hope you are doing well...love seeing your pics on your blog. beautiful family!!
