What's 4 weeks?

I'm starting to think that there is some sort of mechanism that erases past pregnancies from your brain.

I do remember having heartburn in all of my pregnancies. But never this bad. At least, I don't think so. I have it all day, everyday, and most of the night, and nothing really seems to work in getting rid of it. 

So I'm praying that baby girl gets here quickly! I've got 4 weeks left until my due date. I have 3 weeks left from when I usually deliver. I'm full term next week. But she can't come next week. Leo's birthday is exactly one week from today.

Other than feeling like my chest is burning, I'm doing ok. I think nesting has hit. Either that, or the fact I have a new (to me) washer, is making cleaning and laundry fun. I feel like I have more energy then I've had in the past month or so.

That also could be due to the fact I was sick most of last month. Hence the Mt. Laundry. My goal is to get the laundry done, the baby girl clothes washed and put away, her room set up and ready and to finish off her quilt.

I started cutting it a few weeks ago, but didn't finish the cutting part. I need to get that done and then it's all sewing from there. It's a quilt that could take one day to get done. It's been two weeks and I haven't touched it. I really hope I don't put it off too much longer. But I feel guilty working on it when there is so much that needs to be done during the day. Maybe I should work on it when Dexter is napping. (Thank heavens he still naps!)

Speaking of Dexter, he has learned how to open doors. He loves doors. We don't like this phase. It makes nap and bed time, and really any door, harder.

He also is in a phase of taking off his diaper. ALL. THE. TIME. Putting pants on him stops him most of the time, but sometimes it doesn't. And if the kids don't come and tell us right away, he either pees or poops all over. And if we put him down for a nap without pants on, you can bet that the diaper will be off and poop will be everywhere.

Dexter is making it hard for me to catch up on the laundry with all the things he keeps peeing and pooping on. I so wish he was old enough to potty train. That won't happen for another year. :(

All in all, I'm trying to be patient with this last month. I am not a patient person. I just want to be done already. I love being pregnant and love feeling baby moving and all that. But why does it have to hurt?

UGH! Trying so hard to focus on happy things and be positive. Just have to get all the negative out first! Sorry.

Less then 30 days (thank you February for only having 28 days in a month!) till baby gets here!
