The last yard sale

I am so incredibly sore today! Yesterday I woke up at 4:30 AM to go to yard sales and a baby expo - pretty much the same routine I had for two months in the spring. Well shockingly, there's a huge difference between first trimester and third. While I thought I was doing well, later on showed otherwise. Since last night, my legs feel like they can't support my weight anymore. The muscles feel torn. My belly aches. My lower back and hips feel like they're going to break if I bend or put weight on them. Today is every bit as bad!

I also was extremely tired. I took an hour nap yesterday after coming home, which made me more tired and more sore. Last night, we all went to bed together but Bill ended up having to put Katie to sleep because she was still plenty energetic and as soon as I laid down, I fell asleep - a very deep sleep, because usually Katie wakes me up and she didn't at all. Running around all day long with only 2 hours of sleep is definitely next to impossible now.
 Today is mostly about moving the least as possible - probably not going to happen as Bill is working overitme today and I need to catch up on housework again now that Katie is feeling better.

Anyway, yesterday was made worth it by a single yard sale. Someone who had a few boys and were finished with having kids was giving away quite a few baby items. One of these, which I happily took home, was a big tote of clothes. There were more clothes tightly folded into this box than I could have imagined, and I'm so grateful that I found it and then didn't walk away from it like I originally thought to do. Now that I went through it, I feel bad for having her go down because wow - she has everything in that box that I could need for a winter or spring baby for the first 2-3 months! And it's all gender neutral, so if we do go with my plan to try to not find out the gender next time, I can wash all of this stuff up and be totally set for baby (since all my other baby clothing is very boy or very girl, nothing much inbetween). And to top it off, I also got another bouncer, this one to use in the bathroom so I can take showers and give Katie baths. With Katie, I used a swing that I was given that didn't work all that well to begin with. I'm gonna bet that now that Katie is sitting her 26 lb butt in it and using it for her play babies, that it's not going to be in best working shape anymore, so this bouncer will fill in nicely. It's smaller than the swing as well, so that'll be nice.

Here's some pictures that I quickly took. This was before my nap and I was totally crashing so I didn't take my time setting up all the adorable hats - so many things match, right down the socks and hats! It's adorable. In this pile is at least 20 onesies, 20-30 sleepers, about 5 long and short sleeve swaddle shirts, a pair of new shoes, about 10 pairs of socks, 5 pairs of scratch mittens, 8 hats, a few sweaters, two heavy sleep sacks, 10 sleep gowns, a few bibs, etc. It's just so much stuff!
