Three Weeks to Go...Can you say "Nesting?"

Oh my, the boy must soon be on his way because I can't keep myself from trying to clean every inch of the house.  I get burst of energy now and again and I find myself down on my hands and knees cleaning behind the toilets, scrubbing inside the microwave, moving furniture in the conservatory to sweep.  Then Addison follows behind me and wants to dump her blocks on the floor, starts drawing on the dining room table with her crayons and then she goes out and gets in her sand box then walks in the house with sandy shoes.

I had a false alarm last night when I woke up at 3 AM with really bad pain in the lower left side of my tummy.  It would get really intense and then die back down after about a minute.  This went on for about a half hour as I lie there in bed thinking of everything I didn't have ready in order to go to the hospital in case I was really in labor.  Thankfully I fell asleep and woke up about 2 hours later feeling just fine.

Today I've been getting some back pains and some tightening in my tummy so I can only assume that these are some type of contractions.  I have a strong feeling that my child could be coming this week, but who knows.  Last night we Skyped my parents and the baby was moving so much that they could actually see him doing summer saults in my tummy.  Kevin has a tough time watching because he just can't image what is going on in there.

We'll keep you all posted!!!
