I'd love to post something witty and exciting, but I've resorted to being a hermit on all days except Tuesdays. That is one day I'm committed to getting out. Its the day of the weekly doctor's appointment which we then tack ourselves on to playgroup in our old neighborhood since we're in that general area already. The rest of the week I sit around looking at things on the floor that will take too much energy to bend over and pick up. Noelle has started imitating the way I do this, which looks like she's getting down into a tackle position for football, legs spread apart, one arm down for balance. I'm sure its looks ridiculous to a three year old.
I'm also sure life feels like we're just moving along slowly because I sit around twiddling my thumbs waiting to get this baby out. It really not reassuring when the doctor says you could have this baby today or you might go until your induction date. Personally, I'm totally pulling for sooner rather than later. Life also might be in slow gear because its like we're living in the real life version of the movie Ground Hog's Day. The same thing over and over again. Starts with cereal, watch a few movies throughout the day, ends with Noelle in panties and tap shoes, clicking around on the tile in our house.
Maybe tomorrow I'll break up the monotony and be glad to have easy going days.

Hang in there! The end will come.
Actually, two kids isn't so bad, three is crazy. I had Jacob 10 days early and it was great, Tanner was too early at 4 weeks before his due date. Two days before I had Jacob, I went on a fied trip with Madelyn's preschool, we had to walk from the school to the park and then back. I pushed Tanner in the stroller the whole way. It was a very hot day and most of the walk was up hill. Try something like that, maybe it will work for you. Good luck, and hang in there.
enjoy the monotony now lady, it all will go to he*l in a few short weeks! Of course, it will all get 'normal' again (whatever normal is when you have kids!). Sleep when you can, and always remember, the tv is such a dear, dear friend to a hugely pregnant or new mom!
Love ya, hang in there!
