Changes
I have been trying to prepare our family for the upcoming changes. Although I do not feel I have accomplished everything I wanted to before the baby arrives "I have at least tried". This weekend I finally asked Jason for help. It is not like me to ask for help when I need it. I usually just stress and deal with it on my own. Jason works so hard to provide for our family through the week and on the weekends. I have always taken care of the shopping, cleaning, laundry and paying the bills. I want him to be able to come home and relax. I like for him to come home and only have to worry about spending time and playing with Logan. I have realized that being 8 month pregnant and having a 3 1/2 year old does not allow me to push myself like I have in the past. So this weekend Jason helped me organize the rest of the baby items, vaccum the entire house, go through ALL of Logan's toys and we also managed some family time Saturday evening. It was nice to have the help but I also felt like I had let him down. I know he doesn't feel this way but I am hard on myself when it comes to this area in our marriage.
Only 5 1/2 more weeks and we will be a family of four. I can tell you that this scares me and excites me all at the same time! More updates to come soon...... For now I am going to go nap while the boys are gone.

I too struggle with asking for help. It KILLED me to watch Corey go get groceries, pick up and vacum while I was on bed rest... But just think when you were pregnant with Logan it was so different - you weren't chasing another kid, you could sleep in on the weekends if you wanted, you could come home from work and nap before you cooked dinner. Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are doing a great job! And sometimes the husbands need to help out to know how much we do for them ;)
