Ding Bat-ism: a condition common in adult females; caused by excessive house cleaning, diaper changing and prolonged lack of adult conversation. (Sorry but I just loved this quote today. :) )
I had a doctor appointment yesterday. I got to go over all my labor questions with her and found out some good information. This may be my 4th baby but I feel like a new mother with it being 4 years since we have done this. I found out that even though I have had a, for lack of a better word, a normal delivery after my c-section this will still be considered a V-BAC. Which means I still have to be very careful, they won't be able to start me and that if the baby turns breech, unless I can turn her on my own, (which I have done with my other babies) it will be a automatic c-section. I won't be able to labor at home as long as I was hoping but I think that will be okay. I am very anxious to get this baby here. I have figured that in 3 weeks I can try to do anything to get her here. She will be considered full term and they wouldn't stop my labor again. I have never had a baby early so I don't have high hopes but I am sure going to try very hard to get her here early. And even though I have been very good about taking my vitamins, my iron is still too low to be healthy so it is back to my iron supplements. I wanted to write all this down so that one; I'll remember and two; it will be nice to look back on one day. I wish my mom had been better about writing in a journal. My grandmother was pretty good about it and I loved reading her journal. Now I'm not so great. I use to be but not so much anymore. I hope that one day, when my own daughters are having babies and they ask me questions about it, I can look back on some of the things I've written down and it can help in some way.

I believe I'm "nesting"
I think I have hit my nesting stage of this pregnancy. I have been going nuts thinking of everything I need to get done before this new one comes. Because of this, I have pulled Nate into my craziness. Today he spent the day-1. Moving around our room to make room for the bassinet. Because of this he had to-2. Make a stand for the t.v. because it can no longer just sit on a dresser. In our room. He tried really hard to just convince me to go get a flat screen that we could mount on the wall but for $5 we just got a re-enforcement and everything else was in the house. 
I have been looking for a crib too because the one that we had for the other kids was the one my parents used for me when I was a baby and it was used for all 3 of my brothers and then all 3 of my kids. It was literally being held together by duct tape when Norma was using it. I ended up finding a great deal on-line for a crib for $100. It came today so-4. Nate put it together.
I still have so much to do to get ready. I need to wash all the baby clothes and find somewhere to put them, we need to clean up the room and move Norma back in and most of the toys out, I need to finish the birthday cards for the ward, (I make the birthday cards for the Relief Society to hand out to all the sisters. LOVE this calling!) and not to mention all the other little things I need to do around the house to feel ready to have a baby. The last thing will be making sure the house is super clean the week I'm due because that Saturday Tucker will be getting baptized. I am really hoping that I'll go over with this baby just like all my other babies so that we can focus on Tucker that weekend. I can't believe that this little one will be here in just over 8 weeks. I am getting so excited to hold her and cuddle her and just enjoy her outside of my body. I know I won't be getting anymore sleep than I am now but I will be in much less pain when I do get to sleep. Norma is acting like things are changing. She has become a daddy's girl and a little helper to the extreme this week. And very clingy. The boys keep asking when the baby is coming. I hope the next few weeks fly by but you know that they won't. I'm just happy with everything we got done today. I love my husband for doing all the hard work that he did for me today! He is so amazing and I don't know what I would do without him!
