Projects in Progress

(Warning: This post contains some whining!  You are forewarned!)
School started a couple of weeks ago for the boys and I think they're loving it (or at least I am!).  Lucy also started Preschool three times a week at one of the local churches here.  She loves it and is sad when she has the day off.  It's been so weird to leave her, especially since she doesn't even glance back when I leave! Although yesterday she did give me a giant hug, which was much appreciated, when I picked her up!
So I feel like we are finally settling into a schedule here and I should be completing all these projects on the house that I want to get done,except for the small problem of being completely devoid of energy.  After I get my normal chores (laundry, vacuuming, dishes, mopping, and bathrooms, etc....) I'm wiped out for the day.  And yet my list of things (mostly involving painting) I would like to accomplish before the baby comes keeps growing!
In other baby-related news, we still aren't 100% sure whether this baby is a boy or girl.  I've had an ultrasound at every appointment, and yet every time I go in for one the baby is comatose and close-legged.  The ultrasound technician does her best to rile him/her up, having me lay on my side, jiggling my belly with the ultrasound wand, but, alas to no avail.  Last time I told her that I should come in around 9 or 10 at night and he/she would put on a show.  I really think it's a boy, and we have had possible sightings? of boy parts at the ultrasound, but for now I am just waiting for another ultrasound to 100% confirm or deny it.  I suppose eventually in about 3 months we will know for sure anyways.

I don't get my list done either. And that includes painting, too. We're planning to paint the basement this weekend. We'll see if we get it all done.
