I'm pretty much running on survival mode right now. I can't really comprehend that this baby will be here in a matter of weeks. I'm 6ish weeks out from my due date and I wouldn't be surprised if he came 2 weeks early like Sam. But I've been so preoccupied and busy that I really haven't had a chance to do anything but panic a little that this baby will be here soon and be excited that my mother is coming into town.
I'm scared to think that in the next couple weeks Elijah will start Kindergarten. I'm throwing him into the world. My sweet innocent spounge is getting thrown into a den full of other little boys and girls that I don't know and I can't filter what he will hear and learn. AHhhh! Not only that but I'm actually accountable to get him there everyday, ontime. That means I actually have to pull together a morning routine. No more lazing around when there's nothing on the schedule for the day. On top of that I AM HAVING A BABY! I know what babies do to my morning routines. I know how I feel/function (more like not function) when I haven't gotten enough sleep. I'm crazy to be doing this at the same time. Thank goodness my mother will be here! At least I know Elijah will get to school ontime the first month and hopefully that will be enough time for me to get my act together.
In the meantime I'm busy getting projects together for the baby, finding the baby's room, busy with YW's, planning Young Women in Excellence, keeping up on laundry and dishes, and trying to be patient with my restless boys.
Phew... I think it's time for a nap.

You don't need to concern yourself about Elijah starting school. You and Josh have prepared him well. He will soak up all the good stuff and come home to share the wonder with you. It is a great time! I'm glad your Mom will be there for an extended time. She will love it and so will the two aunts. You can snuggle with your new son and the rest of the house will PARTY HEARTY!
your mom is going to be there for a full month!?! are your sisters coming too? do they get to miss a full month of school? wow!
My sisters are coming too. They are homeschooling and bringing everything with them plus we (or more likely they, we'll see how I feel) are planning on going to some of the cool museums while they are here
