Cleaning... and Cleaning... and Juggling 3 kids...

I've been cleaning non-stop and my legs are starting to give out. Ken and Emily's wedding is this weekend (YAY! SO EXCITED!) but also just, well, okay REALLY stressed out. *sigh* At least I'm just about done... we have company coming and staying with us for the wedding weekend so I just wanted the house to be in somewhat decent order and clean before then. And even though I know our guests really wouldn't love us any less with a messy dirty house, what I love about having company is it forces me to have a DEADLINE to get the cleaning (that I otherwise wouldn't do and would push off...) completed! SO YAY for company and YAY that my house is... well, so "in order" right now that I can actually feel my sanity creeping back in :)

I feel safe to say that I'm also juggling THREE kids because honestly, I have more trouble with babies when they are inside me then when they come out! Once I get my "non-pregnant" body back I might be able to keep up with Josiah and Lydia as well as figure out a way to add the newborn to the mix... I'm thinking I'll just keep him/her in a sling for at least a couple weeks until we figure it out :) Don't get me wrong, I'm not very hopeful and definitely have my days where I think, "really? three? how am I ever...." but- there's got to be a way :) And when I'm not pregnant, it just all usually seems easier. I told Michael the other day, "So I've finally figured it out... when God said to Eve after she sinned that she'd have 'pain in childbearing' He meant all NINE MONTHS of BEARING the child- not just giving birth!" and Michael laughed out loud.
