Changing Normal

I come to you, Journal Goddesses, another year older...and it was a big one...but I won't go on about that!! LOL :) Let me just say, I don't recommend being pregnant during your birthday...I squwalled all day...not about anything in particular, but once Abbey said, "Here comes the crying again," and shook her head at me...LOL

We went out for dinner with Mom & Dad & Matt & Chelle (& Katie & Abbey, too!!). We went to Logan's, and I didn't check my sugar after I ate!! LOL I'm such a rebel!! LOL I also had TWO pieces of cake!! LOL :) My sugar levels were fine in the morning :)

I am SO ready for this baby to be here...Well, in ways, mainly physical, I'm ready for Baby Boy to be here...We still need to set up his room (we're waiting on his new crib to arrive!! Sears had a great deal on one that was exactly what I was looking for!! :)), and we still need a changing table, but we're getting there with his room...Once the furniture is in everything else will fall into place, ya know? So, hopefully this weekend, early part of next week, we'll have his room finished, and the rest of the house? We're getting there....Chelle came over today to help me clean out/re-organize my 2 front closets (a coat closet gone awry & my pantry closet), and now my scrapbooking stuff has a home instead of being out in the middle of the floor!! :) That is SO nice, and takes away some of the overwhelming feelings I've been struggling with...I didn't realize how much that stuff was bothering me...

Our room's still a work in progress...Hopefully it will be "done" this week...And, by "done" I mean clean...Steve's job is to get all his paper junk out of here & to make room for the port-a-crib for Baby Boy's first few nights home. I'd also like to get a few of the things I've bought for the redecorating of our room out, including the beautiful quilt & shams that Mom bought me for Christmas from Lil' Dolly's over a year ago!! I need to get a new bedskirt for that, too...Curtains DEFINATELY need to be replaced, but that's gonna have to wait for now...Oh, and not just curtains, but a new curtain rod, too...

See why I've been feeling overwhelmed? One thing just leads to another & I start to think bigger than I've got time for!! LOL :) But, we'll get there.

I've been obsessed with Designed to Sell lately, and that probably doesn't help!! LOL :) I'd love to repaint the living room & halways a lighter more neutral beige color (more appealing to a wider buyer market, and with so much dark color on the walls our living room can feel cave-like at times...), but that's definately gonna have to wait until Baby Boy's a little older...

I think we're narrowing down on a name...Nothing set in stone, yet, but we're getting there. I hope to have him named before he comes...Abbey knew & responded to her name already by this point!! LOL :) j/k Poor baby...

Okay, I'd better get back to work...I'm feeling inspired to clean/declutter more in the living room...Oh, the Vietnam Vets are loving our house right now!! :) We have them come by picking up stuff once a week/every other week!! LOL :) They didn't come this week, though, when they were scheduled...

Okay, I'm starting to just ramble...I love you guys & lurk even when I don't post a comment...I don't know what I'd do some days without checking on my Journal Goddesses!! :)
