I cleaned/organized my house for 12 hours yesterday (and then added backache to everything else keeping me up at night).
Also, DH finally ordered our carpet for the nursery, so as soon as it arrives, I can start setting everything up and getting all of the baby stuff out of the living room.
My nesting/physical abilities haven't been lining up at all, so this is HUGE for me.
Yesterday my parents dropped off BOXES and BOXES of stuff so I went through most of it and organized it, organized my Mary Kay inventory, put all of my books from my parents house on the shelf (after cleaning it off) and I can see half my office's floor! HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT for me!
Why do my boobs look so good? Then I peed on a stick...
Yesterday I got the kitchen and bathroom thoroughly cleaned, organized DS's toys in the living room, and folded a load of laundry. Today, my goal is to make more progress in the living room, fold one more load of laundry and get a healthy dinner made, rather than making Totino's pizzas.

Today I will write thank you notes from my wedding and baby shower. Hopefully I will organize some of the baby stuff I got as well, but that may be pushing it haha.
I made Mac and cheese for lunch and have gotten about halfway through cleaning my cabinets and ripping the liner out. I really should have done this when my nesting streak was in crack mode. I really don't want to do it now. Hopefully I can have it all done before it's time to cook again!
This weekend I cleaned DS's playroom and my car. That was a major accomplishment. Today my accomplishment will be showering and actually fixing my hair because I'm getting it colored and trimmed tomorrow in preparation for my shower this weekend. I also have to go shoe shopping for my shower and get some odds and ends for LO's room.
Today I will finish all the weeks and weeks of laundry that has piled up since our washer broke! I've only got linens and sheets left and then I'm done.

Yesterday I went though ALL of our clothes including our huge walk in closet and ginormous dresser. We ended up throwing away two garbage bags and donating 5 garbage bags of clothes, shoes, and bags. Yeah...we really needed to purge! I think being pregnant has helped me give up the hope that I will be able to ever fit into those random articles of clothing I have been hanging on to since high school!
kiddo slept in past 7am this morning ( = UNHEARD OF!) so we quickly got dressed and packed some containers of berry yogurt to take to my favorite bakery in the next town over for a fancy breakfast with yummy baked goods
we then went shopping... got him some train conductor overalls, a new blanket for his big boy bed, and a few clearance clothes for his winter wardrobe next year.
now we're just finished up a very lazy, long lunch time and he's about to go to his room for rest time. i have plans to bang out a few more orders before the post office closes, and then relax at home for a mexican take-out dinner tonight!
Today I made it to the store to get milk, made rolls, and hope to make hamburgers and veggie for dinner. Also contacted sewing clients, completed an hour of work or my online job, and arranged for a ride for someone through my volunteer position at church.
It has not been a very productive day for me and ds, but he is happy and doing awesome with his potty training so I'm not complaining
Teaching Kindergarten-2nd grade students... sitting in kindergarten size chairs for majority of the day... and maybe trying to pee just 30 times today instead of 60
This is perfect because I haven't yet left the bed. Hoping to get started on clearing out the nursery. My mum is coming over to help, so that should get me motivated.

Baby Girl Born: April 2014 If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, I will answer you:
On Friday I cleaned the entire house...ok almost entire house, in preparation for our weekend house guest. On Sunday we took the two year old to river museum and chased him around all day. Pretty proud for keeping up with him for two hours!
I went to my OB appointment, got a passport photo, stopped on base to turn in paperwork for our overseas move, and then went grocery shopping. I got really dizzy leaving the store so now I'm resting and drinking water even though I had hoped to accomplish a few more things today before back to work tomorrow. Silly body, can't hang with my brain these days!
@acaawkward - we got DS the Melissa and Doug table and chairs and I put it together last week. That thing took forever and took so much it of me! Lol! Good luck!
I didn't get to the Duplo set, but I did go find the donations list in the guest bedroom and get a bunch of things organized down there. So that's awesome.
The grandparents went in on a PB set, and it actually seems pretty easy to put together! But...I still only made it through one chair
I woke up at 4:30 so I could take DD2 to get tubes. I had to be at the hospital by 6 am. We were home by 9 am and have been resting ever since then. Surgery went well too.
I'm on day 1 of modified bedrest so besides lots of laying on my left side I stuffed all of my newborn gDiapers with inserts and seperated all the clothing I got at my shower by size. There's so much more I want to do being home after working full time but nesting and bedrest do not mix
My goal was to take care of two obnoxious phone calls today and I did it! 38 mins on the phone with ATT alone. Plus had to talk to the apartment office. Good results with both. Hooray.
I went to the store and bought dishwasher soap. So I ran the dishwasher, washed the bedding and picked up dog toys...I'm done for the day, laying in bed
I planted 2 trees, I still have 2 more to plant, which will make 5 new fruit trees planted this year. Watered all the trees and the veggie beds. Did some raking/weed pulling. Shoveled up the dog poo :-< . And took a package to UPS. DD not being at all helpful today. Need to hang a new clothes line out back so I can make use of the 80 degree day outside...also need to clean kitchen and living room before DH gets home.
This is from Friday...but I don't even care! I got a 401K from a job I had 6 years ago transferred into a 401K with my actual bank. I set up the paperwork to transfer from my other job as well (but I need a notary...so that wont be happening for a while)! I HATE financial stuff so this was HUGE!
and today I started my day 2 hours earlier than normal, so I am surprised I am still functioning. The real question is whether or not I will make myself go to yoga. My aching pelvis says "yes," my willpower says "no."

I'm sick with a URI...and being able to shower, buy shower hostess gifts, baby shower outfit, go to doctor for congestion, and stop by Starbucks for a frap...well, I think I did OK.

Feel better, girl!
Thanks! I've been fighting off this infection since January, but its finally wearing me down. I may even have to call in tomorrow to work.
Got ALL the laundry done, bought a new dresser for this LO, put all the laundry away after folding and sorting AND started stripping my cloth diapers today was great

Tonight, we tackle the laundry room and pantry.

I am also about to put together the play table DD received for her birthday.
