Yesterday I :

made the bed, opened the blinds and aired the house,
oiled bump and perineum,
got dressed first thing,
ate breakfast, lunch and dinner,
drank two cups of raspberry leaf tea,
had my quiet time along with scripture memorisation but FORGOT to pray for baby and us as soon-to be parents REMEMBERED though to pray for my SIL as she faces her long-awaited operation on Monday,
did a dark wash,
prepped a second dark wash for today,
checked my email,
tried to complete the maternity form for government and realised I also have to get my sister to fill part of it in - have moved this to today's list,
began preparation on my English-centric tutoring for yesterday evening and then rearranged the session for this afternoon,

didn't work on clearing the “junk” in the living room,

took Mama to work again to prepare her for starting solo today,

didn't tutor Tammy-Girl (see above),
moved in all of the nursery furniture, except the cot which is still being painted, moved in all of the baby's things (so far) and some of the decorations and made up the single bed as much as I could - it looks so cute!!!
didn't mark our bedroom wall for anything but
did lay out my clothes for today.
