Moms Arrival

So saturday moring I wake up and its 8:16am jordan isn't up yet and I havent been woken up by tyson getting ready yet. I thought he said he had to be in at work by 9am which really means 845am. So I wobble my way downstairs as quickly as possible saying Tyson, Tyson wake up wake up. I finally get to where he fell asleep on the couch and wake up him for him to tell me that they said he they canceled saturdays work day (he was supposed to work the whole weekend) So I sit down now exhausted cause I was so worried. Then about 10 minutes later Jordan walks downstairs to where we were from bed.
I dont know exactly when we started to really to the finishing organizing and cleaning to not only prepare for my moms arrival so she could be proud of our lil home and also to get things done that we've been putting off and be ready for the arrival of the new baby. Can't call him by a name yet because we havent decided on one yet. I think it was about 9:30am or 10 when we kicked it into high gear and Tyson was awesome. He went above and beyond what I was hoping we'd get done with our basement and we turned our front door aka "mud room" aka what we used as a pantry into where Jordans toys now reside. The woman who was watching Jordan this last month before I quit work she has a house identical to ours and thats where she puts her daughters toys who is jordans age. He seemed to kind of want it a similar way at home so I wanted that to happen soon. Plus it gets the toys out of the living room. He still drags a few out but he enjoys staying in there with the door open and playing. Makes me feel a bit better that he is playing more than wanting to watch tv. How can I complain when I turned him into the television so that on my bad days I would doze in and out of consciousness and have him sit by me watching the movie. This is def how I know angels exist.
Anyways so we steam cleaned the couch, organized the basement, did tons of laundry, got the new babies stuff ready and situated more in our bedroom since lets be honest that kid is gonna be waking me up at all hours for awhile so why not keep him close. We moved the mud room aka pantry to downstairs and put all jors toys away. We moved our living room furniture and tv to a slightly different place, and we actually hung up some pictures. Our house actually feels like a home now. It only took us ohhhh 9 and a half months from when we moved. Getting pregnant and starting a new job and moving into a new place....no bueno for organizing your house. Survival mode is the only state in which you live.
Then around 7 we went over to a friends house and let them borrow our steam cleaner for their carpets and we ate dinner with them and jordan snuggled up and fell asleep on me. I think he is getting sick because he didnt fuss much in the car and that kid would stay up with us as long as he could. Plus he was starting to feel warm. Once we got home at 11pm we gave him some medicine when he woke up from getting out of the car and got him into bed. I then started the finishing projects that were on my list of things I could do and finished the room my mom is gonna stay in and continued to do laundry. I should say I didnt finish the guest room since tomorrow I need to vacuum the carpet. Can't do that at midnight. Dont think the neighbors would look on that kindly.
Now its 1:18 in the morning the kitchen floor is clean the dishes are in the dishwasher and I'm waiting patiently until I can get into the car and pick my mom up from the airport. Her flight got delayed from getting in at 1240am to pretty much 2am. Bad weather in Phoenix delayed her departure. But I can feel good knowing that my house finally looks the way I've wanted it too for awhile now.
Now I get to look forward to teaching my last sunday for the CTR5's. I was kind of hoping they had gotten my replacement sooner and not waitied till the very last sunday before I had the baby but it is what it is. I can do it. I know they are having a hard time finding anyone so whats one more sunday right? I'm trying to stay positive because I have very active boys in my group and usually 1 girl 2 if I'm lucky so they are an exhausting bunch.
I am excited that in 4 days on Wednesday April 13 I get to finally have this baby. I'm guestamating that he will be 22 inches and say 7 lbs 11 ounces. I figure he wont be very "heavy" since he didnt go all the way to 40 weeks or past the time jordan did but he def feels big. The surgeon agrees too. Thankfully I'm only put on 25 lbs and cant wait to start fitting in normal clothing again. I figured I would have put on more since I ordered food a lot but somehow it all came together. Its gonna be a repeat c-section so I got to have the doctors plan out the date which is a bit weird and nice all at the same time. There are risks for me trying to go for a VBAC or having a c section but the surgeon felt good about the c section since he was worried about this babies size haha. So it is what it is. Either way I just want everything to go smoothly. It will suck not having stomach muscles for awhile but I recovered pretty good last time around so heres hoping recovery isn't worse.
Besides the baby being born and being excited about that we are excited for July to come around so we can see our family in Utah and then move on to our new home in Louisiana. It will be interesting living out in the middle of nowhere but at least we have the option of driving only a couple hours to houston or New Orleans or even to see our families.
Well gotta go pick up my mom from the airport. But maybe I'll post some pictures of our newly designed (haha) house that we can be proud of now. And cross your fingers Jordan isn't getting sick and he wakes up with no temperature.

You are insane!! We did deep cleaning yesterday and after about 6 hours I had to take a nap and couldn't get up because my back hurt so bad. How are you up so late and still cleaning!?!

Hope you have fun with your Mom before the new little one gets here and takes up everyone's attention!!
