So what do you do during scout camp week.... if you're Bob, you go three hours away from your ever pregnant wife to have a blast with ten boys and another adult! (Okay, that sounds like complaining- actually, I'm fine. Given history, we don't have to worry about an appearance of the little guy until after Bob gets back. And he loves that kind of thing - and it's part of his calling - and well, he'd be sadder around here knowing that everyone else was down there.)
For the rest of us.... we gathered together yesterday morning and made three plans - a meal plan (so I we can eat some what healthy using what we already had on hand without fighting), an activity plan (play dates, dentist appointments, library... that kind of thing) and a chore plan - one that is designed to take all week, but leave us completely clean and ready to welcome daddy - and if we're really extra, extra lucky, baby brother - home this weekend! We can guarantee daddy, but baby brother will likely prove to keep us guessing! =)
Anyway - we made a good dent in some of the "bulk" yesterday - the girls have a play date this afternoon at our house, so they know today's work must happen this morning. I've included my sewing stuff in with the chores - I'm ready to pack it up and shift gears completely. I have everything cut out that needs to be, but I need to finish up some jammies and the diaper bag. I plan to attack more of the diaper bag this afternoon while the kids are entertained - and hopefully, if all goes well, I can get some sewing in every day through the end of the week and actually accomplish my goal.
We're hoping to start family walks in the evenings tonight as well - this close to baby's date, we feel it's safe enough to get back in routine. And though there is nothing that will "make" baby come, I figure everything I can do to help get through this early stage (which takes weeks and weeks) is a bonus and can only make labor a little easier (right?) though who knows about sooner. I'm just hoping to not be a big fat blimp over 4th of July weekend - somehow, I don't think it will be my choice!
