13 Days!

13 Days until little Nolan makes his arrival!! I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about this! Every day, every minute it seems, I'm getting more and more uncomfortable. Yesterday I think I may have overdone it a little bit. But. I need to get things done, so that's the way it is. I did take a break in the afternoon and made cookies. I even made myself sit at the kitchen table while I scooped the dough onto the cookie sheets!! Both kids napped really well yesterday so it was nice to have some time in the afternoon to do something other than clean up toys!! So yesterday I started off by super cleaning my kitchen. You know how things just seem to get dirtier and dirtier over time? Yes, the kitchen is cleaned daily...multiple times a day in fact. But it's the corners and the cupboards that seem to get cluttered and really messy. I corrected that yesterday. I know it won't last, but it makes me feel good that things are looking a little less disorganized. I also got out all the little 4oz baby bottles, washed them, boiled nipples and such and organized Nolan's little cupboard. I cleaned all the parts of the breast pump. Cleaned the milk storage bottles, had a good think about whether or not I really need the breast milk bags. Decided to keep them because my goal is to be able to pump LOTS of milk for my little guy. So hopefully I'll have an awesome stockpile of milk. I don't plan to actually breastfeed this little man....I don't really care for breastfeeding, however I have no issue with pumping and feeding. So, that's my plan. It was my plan with Liam too but the electric breast pump came in a little late...or at least I thought so. I thought I was drying up and not able to produce enough milk. I'm thinking now if I had just kept at it, my milk supply would have increased again. But, that's neither here nor there. Liam is healthy so who cares!! ANYWAY, I also had Dan come home from work and bring in the shop vac for me so I could suck up all the cat filth under the stairs. We keep their litter boxes and food and such under the stairs...it's pretty big under there!! It was getting really really really gross. I had vacuumed it a little while ago, but I used the house vac and learned quickly that wasn't a good idea...hence the shop vac this time! So I spent a good 45 minutes sucking up littler and food crumbs! It looks so clean under there now. Just have to keep up with it! I also cleaned the hell out of the laundry room. Did some minor rearranging and some major vacuuming. I love the shop vac! with 4 cats and a dog, the animal hair is going to pile up. I usually keep up with it fairly well...its part of my self diagnosed OCD! Anyway, the laundry room is looking pretty spiffy this morning!! I had Dan take out all the fans to the shed, a dresser that was annoying me, some exercise equipment and other random things that I felt did need to be in the house. I'm sure I'll have more for him to do when he gets home from work today! Poor guy, he was beat last night! He expects this from me though, so I don't feel too bad! haha So on today's agenda I'm going to try and use up the bananas that are turning on the counter and make some muffins. I'm going to do the laundry, clean clean clean my upstairs living room. Think about steam cleaning the carpets one last time and then go to work late this afternoon!! Lets see how far I get today. I'm feeling pretty sore today from all my cleaning yesterday, but that's fine. Gotta get it done!!

Happy Friday!
