I want to wedge more time in my life with a mallet.

Sorry about the lack of pictures and updates and things. I have great plans for them. Actually, I'm secretly waiting until I'm 17 weeks along to do pictures, because I want to do a comparative analysis between this pregnancy and last pregnancy, since that's when I posted my first baby belly pics for the last one. But I'm not telling you when that is just in case I fail, and then I can still fudge it, maybe.

If I did manage to fit more time in, I would totally plan on using it for sleep, or cleaning, but then end up just staring at a wall. That's what happens to the time I do have. I get home from work with Eleanor at about 5:00 to 5:30ish, Eleanor goes to bed at about 8:30, and then Nathan comes home at 10:00 to 10:30ish. By the time Nathan is home I'm ready to pass out, but that window before he does and after Ellie is in bed is the only time I have to unwind, so I don't really want to clean. Then weekends are the only time we have together, so we don't want to clean, but we really should. That and we take weekend mornings in shifts. Eleanor wakes up at around 6:45, and hangs out in our bed for an undetermined period not to exceed 30 minutes (her rule, not ours). Then Nathan gets up and lets me sleep (the dear man), and then when I'm done, I get up and let him take a nap. So by the time the house is awake all at the same time, it's lunch time, we have 4 responsible things planned, and maybe a fun thing, and we usually do the fun thing, and have time for half a responsible thing. Either that or we do one whole responsible thing. And then decide the rest will wait until next weekend. Which is why when the baby comes it will just have to sleep in one of the boxes in the room we currently use for storage.

Nathan's home, so I'm going to go eat the food he brought, tell him how much I love him, take a shower (I don't like doing that alone at night), and then complain that I'm getting in bed too late again. Sometimes I try to blame him for that, since I want to see him and this is about the only time we have, but in general, it's my own fault.
