Let the List Making Begin

I guess I've hit that "nesting" phase of my pregnancy already. I'm usually the type to not want things to be undone, but lately it's been consuming my every thought. This year I have 8 weeks of lesson plans to prepare in addition to getting ready for the baby to come. So, whenever I get uneasy about how much I "have to do" I just make a list. I have a three-fold list going right now (home, baby, work) and I'm already starting to knock some things off the list. Friday (my day off) was very productive and I'm getting more and more done. The only bad thing with all of this motivation I feel to finish tasks is that I do things I shouldn't, like lift extremely heavy boxes of Christmas decorations and, as a result, end up "over-doing-it" and feeling all tired and sore the next day. Saturday I didn't do a whole lot because I'd just about worn myself down.
I've felt a lot more anxious lately about everything. I'm sort of nervous about having another c-section surgery. I have an appointment today though to see the baby and have my first non-stress-test so hopefully that will put some of my worries at ease. I'll have to do one a week coming up soon, and then twice a week, in addition to my specialist at LDS and Diabetes appointments every three weeks, so if you're wanting to see Ryan (babysit- hint, hint) just let me know! Anyway, all of this typing has got me thinking of more things to do, so I must be going now.

I love and hate the nesting phase of pregnancy. I feel really productive unlike early pregnancy where I just feel really lazy. It wears you out, though! I can only imagine how you feel with lesson plans, doctor's appointments, etc. on top of everything else. Good luck!

Jen, you are always more than welcome to drop Ryan off to play on your way to appointments, especially the ones and LDS since I'm on the way. Just let me know when!
the list thing is a great idea. I've been going through that darn nesting phase as well right now so I feel you on that

I wish I had a nesting phase in my pregnancies. I think I had one day of nesting with Miriam, and it put me in labor the next day!! Good luck with getting everything done before #2 comes along!!

If you want to come nest at my house, please do. I have the opposite problem!
