30 Days and Counting

So we only have 30 more days before Sariah is suppose to arrive. That is of course if she isn't early or late (I have given her a 30 day eviction notice). I must say that this pregnancy has been a bit tougher then the last, but I guess that is to be expected. I am hoping that labor is just as easy as the last, I mean they say with each one it gets easier...right?
As d-day comes near I do wonder how I am gonna be able to handle it afterwards. I mean 2 kids both in diapers, both needing to eat, sleep, etc. I am still trying my hardest to get Kyle on a schedule, but it is so difficult. I have been noticing that he has been waking up around 7am every morning (or at least that is when he starts to cry). I usually feed him within the hour, it depends on how content he is. I really want to be able to keep him up till at least noon so he takes a long afternoon nap, but that just ain't happening. He is starting to pull himself up, especially when holding on to me, and trying to take a few steps. I do wonder if he is just gonna skip the whole crawling thing (although when he is on a bed he is most definitely mobile). The nesting phase is now here, I don't remember having a nesting phase with Kyle. Yesterday I finished painting the living room in our apartment. There is one spot in a far corner that needs a second coat of paint, but that can wait. I am just happy the living room is all one color now! I will start working on Kyle and Sariah's room either today or tomorrow. When I look around our apartment all I see is clutter and it is driving me up a wall. A lot of the stuff is stuff we need for Vincent's work, but I just wish we had a place to store it. I guess this is one of the downsides of living in a small apartment.

I have also started planting veggies and herbs. Since living in an apartment we are doing the Topsy turvy thing this time, as well as pot planting. We will see how it goes this summer, especially with taking care of 2 kids. There shouldn't be much weeding to be done since its all in pots and hanging, which I think will make it easier.

We are also trying to shift back to a more plant based diet. We loved being vegan / vegetarians and we really want to get back to that. Right now I am still eating some meat, but limited. But once the baby is here and I have built up a milk supply I am gonna go full charging. I think that is one major factor in the difference in my pregnancy. Last year I was eating healthy and exercising, this time I haven't really. I am so hoping to be able to get fit after this baby is born, of course I am thinking with running around chasing 2 little ones it should be pretty easy.

Anyways, time to get out and plant my mini garden with Kyle.
