Once again, I have way too much on my plate. Its two weeks away from DEPART-ment and
I haven't really made anything new. I am still dealing with Elle waking up frequently due to either constipation, teething, or just wanting to drive her mommy crazy. I am hosting a party for 9 mommies and their soon to be one year old babies at my house in two days. I have to clean for aforementioned lunch party. I told my friend that I would reupholster her couch and spent 3 hours with her today to cut out the material.
I'm not really complaining because I'm super excited about all of it, well, except for the lack of sleep due to having to tend to Elle every hour or so (although last night wasn't too bad. She slept for a 3 hour stetch!). She isn't regular just yet but she seems to be doing better about eating the prunes which helps get things going for her.
The lunch party is for all the other parents that took the bradley birthing class with us. All but one are first time moms like me and I have only kept in touch with just one of the moms and am looking forward to seeing all the other moms and their babies. Taking that class to prepare us for the birth was the BEST thing I have ever done and I credit it completely in helping me give birth naturally and somewhat peacefully without worry or stress. Thank goodness it's a pot luck lunch but that doesn't mean that I won't have a bunch of food prepared. Plus my house is a complete mess so I'll have to really spend the next 2 days getting down and dirty.
Another thing that I'm doing is for a great friend of mine that just turned 30 this past weekend. A while ago she had asked me if I would reupholster her couch and I vehemently said "NO!! But after a few months of consideration, I thought it would make the perfect birthday gift so I told her that I would and although it isn't too hard to do, it is pretty time consuming. I already spent hours with her picking out the fabric and cutting out the pieces of the material.
I am extremely overwhelmed because I know that nothing will be exactly as I would like it to turn out but being a mom has helped me stay calm about the little things and not worry if things get done exactly as I had planned.
Oh and another thing, I am listing my parents house on the market next week (I'm a Realtor) which means that my Sundays will now be taken over with open houses.
Maybe I'll get a chance to breathe next month.

Wow! Hey I'm turning 30 next year and my couch.....ha ha only kidding.
You have a lot on your plate,but you are such a creative and motivated person I know you will be fine. I'm so envious of all your abilities!
that is great that you are keeping in touch with the bradley moms. i feel like hubby and i were the only ones in our class (you had a big class! ours had only 4 couples) that actually took it seriously. we were the only ones that came to all classes, did all the readings, wrote a birth plan... well worth it!!
Our Bradley Class was awesome, I don't think any one of us missed a meeting. we all kept in touch and even though I didn't read everything, we had a birth plan which helped put everyone on the same page and it was great!!
Good luck with your "party." Sounds like a ton of fun. Here's hoping you get some much needed rest so that you can enjoy your company.
