Well, I suppose I should be glad that I rested yesterday, because I certainly didn't today. *sigh* I watched the babies this morning at Sis and Adam's so that Mama could go to Botanica and get tulip bulbs. It was nice watching them for a couple hours, I missed them yesterday. But it was what it always is, changing diapers, encouraging them to eat breakfast, filling drink cups, and keeping them out of stuff they shouldn't be getting into.
Mama got to Sis' house a little after 9. I stayed and talked for a bit before heading home to clean. I cleaned up the basement and began working on Nate's room. That meant carrying all of our stuff out and into the storage room, folding blankets, gathering bathroom supplies, getting things ready to wash, and bringing stuff upstairs. Normally this wouldn't have been a difficult task, but at 9 months pregnant I wore myself out pretty fast. I had talked to Michael before we left this morning about having lunch together. By the time I got to a stopping point on Nate's room it was time for me to go see Michael. But since I wore myself out I asked him if it was ok if I worked on laundry for half an hour and rested a bit before I left.
When my half hour was up, I was still tired. I asked Michael how he was doing (if he could wait longer) but he said he was getting hungry. So I got myself up, grabbed a gallon of milk and leftover Fusa Chicken out of the fridge and left again. I had to stop by Sis and Adam's again because I forgot the food and milk this morning that I told Mama I would bring with me for the babies. After that stop I was off to AeTR to get Michael for lunch. We went out with one of his coworkers, Jason, for lunch. We had a very nice time. I appreciated Michael driving to and from lunch because, like I said, I'm wore out. When we got back to Michael's work he asked me if I wanted to come in and say hi. I told him no, that I wanted to get home and take a nap. So I gave him a kiss goodbye and headed home.
Well, my nesting instinct wouldn't let me just rest, so instead, I picked up the living room and dining room, rotated laundry again, and began folding the clothes I left behind when I went to lunch. By the time those clothes were folded, another load was coming out of the dryer. I began folding those when I got a text from Sis saying that Avery had her jacket and shoes on, was standing by the door, and was waving and saying bye bye. She asked me if it was ok for Avery to come home. *sigh* So much for that rest I was trying to get. So I kept working on laundry until my mom brought Avery home. :P So much for me taking days off from the babies to "rest".
So I didn't rest much today, but I did get a few more things done around the house. And without the babies here during the day, things stay cleaner for longer. I'm glad things will be clean when we get home from the hospital. Although, now that I think about it, we said Mama could watch them here on Wednesday and Thursday. :( I hope it's still clean when we get back. One thing is for sure. After a day like today, I realize the importance of simply resting when I take a day off to do so. Almost done...
