my oh my I am tired!

Things on the home front are absolutely crazy. What is pretty amazing is that with all this stress and being a little bit of everywhere I am still pregnant. Which proves what I have been saying to doctors for years, I do not go into labor myself. So stop putting me on bed rest! Anyways I am well into the safe point and am off the bed rest. Our home is on the market and we are showing it like crazy which too be honest is wiping me out. Mainly because every time I sit down to finally rest for the day the phone rings and it is someone coming to see the house. This is a good thing, but I am just so tired from trying to keep up with the house work and then being this big and pregnant. I wish I could bend over a little better that would move things a long. 
I was able to go to my Grandpa's funeral which was a neat experience for me.  I was grateful to be there and I was able to sing. While in Utah we had a chance to go through some homes and drive through different areas. I have to admit we left feeling really discouraged about it all. But today I woke up and just remembered how much the Lord's hand has already been in all this, I just need to hold onto my faith and trust in him. So that is my plan. We have had a lot of good showings on the house, people seem to leave really happy but we have not seen any takers yet. 
Also this last weekend Jake gave Paige her blessing. She was so cute and slept most of the day, I am sure she was a lot of fun on the ride home. It was nice to see everyone and be together with all my siblings for the first time in over a year and a half.
I have decided that my body has given up on being pregnant and is now shutting down. The latest fun thing is that my feet, legs, arms, hands , and face have exploded with water retention. We have been watching it closely to make sure my blood pressure is not going up. I have never had anything like it. A couple times my feet have been so bad that the bottom has been swollen. But we have scheduled a time for me to be induced so it all when end soon. I am getting induced early Monday morning. Unless I go sooner (which I doubt). I do have a secret fantasy that I will not just keep contracting like crazy but actually hit real labor. I think that would be so cool since I have never had that. But I am happy with what I already know. I am really excited about meeting this little one. Don't worry we will put up pictures. 
In the meantime I hope that I can keep the house clean and maybe start on some packing. We haven't been home much with the showings but it would be nice. Who knows.
