I now constantly feel as if I am going to have a baby any minute. I have more or less constant mild period-like pains and suspect that I am leaking amniotic fluid. (sorry, was that more information than you needed?) I also am able to go to sleep at virtually any moment. This is significant for me; I don't like to sleep long hours, rarely nap, and even have trouble sitting down for long, in my normal life. If I do sit down, I am one of those annoying leg jigglers that drive people crazy. I think both of my children are destined to take after me judging by current levels of activity, which is unfortunate.
OK, the good news of today is that I have hired someone to clean my house. Yep, I've been saying I would do it for years now, and finally got around to finding someone. Her name is Gulie, and she is from Georgia (former member of the USSR, not the southern state.) Georgia isn't a million miles from the Ukraine, and my Ukrainian grandma is a great housecleaner (among other things). I may be reaching here. Anyway, hopefully this will work out, as I am now physically incapacitated and the house is getting rough around the edges. It has been really bugging me to notice things like the dust accumulating under the couch and be unable to do anything about it - I could ask the Hub to do it, but I think I may have reached critical mass with my constantly asking him to pick up things from the floor and do things for our daughter while I sit on the couch like a lazy cow. I still cook the dinners, however, with the caveat that whatever it is must be cooked in one pot. We've had a lot of pasta and stews lately. No one dares complain.
