You guys know about the situation with my Dad - we expect he will not live more than a couple of days 
We are trying to get up there to see him and be with him when he passes, but I've had this horrid cold all week and have not been able to face traveling (we'll have to stay in a hotel and I just don't think I can do that while sick and running a fever etc.) I feel awful for not being there, and I feel awful in general. Slept only about 2 hours last night (mostly because of awful reflux, not even the cold!) and am so exhausted today I could just cry over everything. I am trying to fight that tendency becuase I know it will only make the cold symptoms worse and me more miserable. Meanwhile, as if things weren't bad enough, they're calling for snow overnight here, which makes me VERY nervous about getting out on the highway at 9 months pregnant. I just can't believe all these things are happening at once in our family and I am simultaneously overwhelmed, exhasuted and desperate that none of this affect our baby or this pregnancy. I feel terribly selfish for not just going up there and sitting with Dad this whole week, sick or not, but at the same time I'm desperate to get well and stay healthy for baby's sake and it's just a choice I feel like no one should ever have to make. I know Dad would understand if I could explain it to him but I still feel awful.

Im going to spend all this time tiring myself out so i can sleep at night and make the time go quicker but then come wed ill be wishing i had nothing to do , i havent sat down to rest for a good few days i have been doing jobs and getting nowhere really, so friday i think we will stay at home with Finley as this is his day off school and play some games and rest up a little !
I cant wait now i think like someone else mentioned everyone seems to be having their babies, im super organised for baby to come bags are all packed and ive even bought Fin a present from Ethan and wrapped it and put it with the hospital bags, i just need to get his car seat down from mums probably tuesday and were all good to go.... it really is just the housework that horrible nesting instinct, im trying to refrain from doing it at the min as i know monday and tuesday will become one big mad cleaning episode , im making use of OH whilst he off though and getting him to do all the strenuous things lol !!
Tomorrow will be a week since we found out we were being induced and this has gone so so fast !

i am all organized too. everything is ready to go. i had my DH do all the fans and dirty work over the weekend and all the last minute dusting and odd cleaning that needed done. he is a busy body so he loves it when i ask him to do odd jobs. now its just maintaining the housework til we make it. dont know if my OB will agree to next friday. its supposed to be scheduled for tues, but we are still hoping. will find out tomorrow exactly when they will induce, should be actually scheduled during my appt. i cant blame you for wanting to be worn out. it will be hard for you to get any sleep tues night! when i had to be induced with my 3rd, i barely slept at all the night before. i was just too anxious.
i have started nesting too and its making me feel agitated that im not supposed to get up and do anything. my Dh doesnt really get that i want to be busy doing stuff. he says to just tell him what needs done and he will do it. its not so much that i need something done, its that im getting all this energy and want to clean the fridge, or wipe down the walls, trim the tree outside, LOL! its becoming very frustrating to be on my butt anymore. i figure when im within a day or two of being induced i will do what i want to and go nuts
he always gets that way at the end of our pregnancies. this time he has painted the living room and kitchen and has been doing everything since im on bedrest. im very lucky to have him. i always worry that things are gonna go haywire when i have another baby, but he is all over it. i dont know why i think no one can do all that needs done around here but me??? he is all over taking care of the other kids and the house, its pretty humbling to me that not only can someone else do it, but a man no less. im sure this time it wont be any different. i cant be more thankful.
