Boxes, boxes everywhere

I SO wish I had more energy right now. I hate that I’m not blogging on a regular basis! But alas, it’s just not in the cards at the moment. As I type this, I’m looking at eight – yes, eight – open cardboard boxes near the front door which are halfway unpacked. And don’t even get me started about the glass vase and coffee mugs that have been sitting out of place in the kitchen for the past four weeks…or the picture frames scattered all over the living room floor.

Basically, my life is all about survival right now. I’m trying to figure out how to get Kellan back on a more reliable napping/sleeping schedule, while trying to unpack and prepare for baby, all while trying not to melt in the wretched heat. I’m also trying to keep my brain from falling out of my head. I swear, I can’t remember a THING right now. Like, why did I not stop in at Toys R’ Us and buy a kiddie pool that I can act like a beached whale in? I was right by that store today. Ugh. Guess I’ll just have Kellan turn the hose on me or something.

So anyway. I am due in about two weeks. Specifically, JULY 24. Anyone care to guess when the big event will actually happen? My mom’s prediction of a birth two weeks before the due date has doesn’t hold much promise at this point. I’m guessing I’ll be overdue, probably by about a week. Because that’s just my luck.

Not much else to share at this point, other than the little tidbit Kellan shared with our OB nurse while I was at the doctor last week:

Nurse: How are you liking your new house? Is your room cool?

Kellan: Yeah. It has a stage!

Nurse: A stage? Aren’t you lucky! Does your mommy rock out with you?

Kellan: Nah. Cause she would break it.

Nice, huh? Nice for a big ol’ pregnant lady’s self-esteem! Thanks a lot, kid.
