Just Because

It's been a long month for us.  For starters I have been putting in a lot more time at work.  My norm had been around 25 hours a week, and these past couple of weeks I have been getting up to 60 hours.  This means I have to work on the weekends, and not get much rest.  Not to mention our house seems to be quite neglected.
It's been the usual for Bella, usually up one or two times a night.  And every once in awhile (usually once a week) we get a night where we actually get to sleep through the night.  Our big debate now, is whether Bella will wake up the new baby once he/she arrives or if it will be the other way around.  Jesse mentioned that maybe we need to start working on Bella's bedroom on the main floor, but I just don't feel like having to get up and go all the way downstairs a couple times a night when she is upset.  I am leaning towards moving her into her new room once she stops teething, so maybe around age 5.
And this month of March is almost complete with traveling and family in town.  I think we have one weekend where we won't be out of town or have guests with us....busy busy.
And in the back of our minds is all the things we need to do in the next month - get our taxes started, finished and filed; complete three or four projects on the house (to include installing the new dishwasher we bought in December and haven't even had time to get out of the box), start thinking about the outside projects as in garden and landscaping, the later being particularly important so we don't flood our basement again.  And while we are talking about our basement, finish gutting out all the mold, yes we have been living with the mold (a small amount) for almost a year now, probably not the smartest idea. And then we need to fix the drains/backups so we don't get water in the basement that way.  If you aren't following my ramblings we got water in our basement last year both from the foundation/soil not sloping properly away from the house, and from our septic tank backing up.
Oh and did I mention I was pregnant and we have Bella.......yeah we are overwhelmed too.
