I have actually been feeling motivated the past two days. My husband and I cleaned the house all yesterday morning and then I started packing my hospital bag. I know I don't need it for several weeks, but I threw a few things in there that I won't need between now and then and I feel better knowing it's at least partially packed.

Of course, having children means the house was a mess again by this morning so I cleaned again while my husband went to my parents house to snow blow (after the 5 additional inches of snow we got between yesterday and this morning).

I'm happy that I don't have to work tomorrow. I know I've been off work for five days already, but any day that I don't have to go to work at this point in my pregnancy is a good day. I was looking at the calendar yesterday and realized that when I go back to work on Tuesday, there will only be a week and four days left of this month.. then we move into February and I can say, "the baby is due this month."
