So, I have so much to do and very little motivation (not to mention energy) to get it done. It is already 3:00 in the afternoon and I'll I've done today is take a shower, scrapbook 1.5 pages, and eat a breakfast burrito for lunch. Here is what I need to do (making a list helps, right?):
Today:
Dishes
Wash baby clothes
Make goodie baskets
Fix dinner
Clean up my scrapbooking mess in the dining area
Clean the bathroom (it desperetly needs it)
Make the bed
Write in the good-oh journal (I've been slacking but working really hard to do this)
In General (especially before baby comes):
Fix a client's senior portraits
Make crib bumper
Finish baby quilt
Pack hospital bag
Make pediatric consultations (no, I still haven't done this)
Organize bathroom closet
Take pregnancy photos for documentation (tomorrow, maybe?)
Frame/matte photo for dad
Document baby's room to blog and scrapbook
I'm sure there are other things but I can't remember them all!
I have no excuse for some of these things. Kyle has been so helpful that it has taken a load off of my daily to do's. Although I'm so grateful for all his hard work, I can't help but feel like a bad wife when he does it all after a long day of work. But with an aching back, active unborn baby, and sore ribs it is so hard to be motivated. I'm hoping for that nesting instinct to kick in soon. Well, I'm off to go make the bed, clean, and all that.

You are doing great! You are a fine wife, and I'm sure that Kyle WANTS to do these things for you. He is not able to help you carry the baby, so it's probably theraputic to Kyle knowing that he is helping even in a small way. We hear of women working in "rice paddies" and giving birth--then going back to work. Well, let me tell you...MANY countries allow women to be off of work for all of their pregnancy and a year or two afterward. Women are also encouraged to minimize their household duties. You're expecting too much of yourself. Just think of all the hormones changing in your body. Then there's a small parasite living inside you sucking all the energy and nutrients out of your body so that it can grow! I know that children aren't parasites...but it is a funny metaphor. Hang in there!
