Our house is on the market now. There was an open house today, but apparently not a lot of people showed up. Our realtor said, FWIW, that other realtors were reporting the same thing; it just wasn't a good day for open houses. She did say that another broker wants to show the house tomorrow evening, so that's something. I'm still marvelling at our

Lately I've had to eat every few hours if only because my body demands it. Unfortunately, circumstances on Sunday conspired against me. I did stop off at the grocery store to pick up a snack, but it proved to be insufficient. If something like this pops up again, I'll be smarter. I'm trying to listen to my body, but sometimes it's hard to shake the mental patterns of your pre-pregnancy self.

Matt has been helping, and both of my parents have pitched in as well -- they've been invaluable. I think I've been suffering from mental stress more than physical stress. Even though I've had a lot of assistance with the actual tasks, I've felt like I'm ultimately the one who has to coordinate everything and be responsible. And sometimes I'd get overwhelmed and paralyzed by what needed to be done.

I feel like things are better now. I'll still have to keep the house up, but if I do a couple tasks each day, that won't be hard. I'm in the process of shopping for mortgages, but I feel like I've got a good handle on it. While they're still not perfectly organized, I made major strides towards organizing all our financial and personal documents so that they're readily at hand. And I find the whole looking at houses thing to be fun.

If the baby comes and I find it all to be too much, well, then we stay here longer than planned. At least everything will be fixed up nice.

I've got a metabolism that runs out of food fuel like this even not being pregnant. I've learned to put some baggies with quick snacks in them in my car glove compartment. Things that won't spoil and are there for emergencies such as that. I was also amused to read your feelings about your house now that it's in show condition. Not long ago Himself and I were mentioning the same thing, marveling at how we always seem to fix, build and clean things for the _next_ person instead of ourselves.
