My sister is here this weekend and we're going to have a full day of shopping!

Just what the doctor ordered....

The nursery is almost done. I feel like I've been working on it for forever, but when I can only do it for 30 minutes here and there it takes some time. Then it's on to Henry's room!
This room makes me itch for spring a bit with the cheery colors. And it makes me really itch to meet this little girl. I want this waiting time to go so quickly so I can just meet her, but at the same time I want it to go slowly because I know our lives will drastically change and in no time she'll be walking down the aisle. I'm also really enjoying this time with just Henry right now. I can't wait to see how they interact. He's going to be a good big brother.

Passed out in bed. I think that's what I'm going to try to do to. I've maybe got another 30 minutes before he wakes up so I best hustle.

Happy Thursday!

I cut Henry's hair the other day and it reminds me of Gerald. My camera battery is dead so you'll just have to believe me. I can't stand that show by the way. I know, they're just innocent kids who love science, but seriously.

We started a new thing at church where the last Sunday night of the month instead of meeting together at church, we meet in neighborhood groups for food and fellowship. I love it! We have a great mix of people and ages in our group so I'm excited to see what that brings. Have I mentioned lately that our church is pretty great?!

Not much else exciting to share right now.....other than I only have about 7 weeks to go!!
Hope you're all having a great week!

Is it really this easy??

My parents came down yesterday with my old twin bed for us to use for Henry's big boy room. I was worried that it might be a hard transition, but we laid him down at 7:00 and didn't hear a peep until 6:30. Awesome! Nap time, I thought for sure would be a struggle. We laid him down a little bit ago and I just peeked in and he's sound asleep without a peep. Surely this won't last, will it? Or will it! For today, anyways, I'll mark it as a success and be happy. If he gets out of his bed during nap time later this week? Well, I'll deal with it then. And YEAH for now!

This week went so quickly! RJ just left to clean and Henry boy is sleeping and I'm going to work on some more wall decor for the nursery. It's been so fun doing such girly things.

I'm about to pass out from my insomnia. So really, I should go to bed early tonight, but I just want to enjoy some alone time. This morning I was up for the day at 3:30 and 2 nights before it was 2:30. I usually manage to fall back asleep around 5:45 and then RJ's alarm goes off at 6. Ugh. I did this same thing when I was pregnant with Henry and after he was born I felt so much better because even though I was waking up a few times at night to feed him, when I slept it was good hard sleep. I'm hoping for that again this time!

So other than my exhaustion, we've had a great week here. Henry has been in a stellar mood lately. We had some bumps with getting him to listen better after his weekend away and of course we have our melt downs, but overall I am in LOVE with this stage. He's talking so much and constantly and doesn't ever really stop moving. He's such a weird little boy. I love it.

Still no name for our baby. I think the decision will have to be left for the hospital when we see her. It's so hard this time!

My hair cut was an interesting experience. It was FREE so I really can't complain, but if you ever decide to go there or any other type of school just plan for it to take some extra time. I don't know why I didn't think about that, but regardless I was not expecting it to take a little over 2 hours for a hair cut. My shoulders were so tense when I was done and I just needed to move! It's a good price though so I may go back someday.

Peace out.

Haircut

After sleeping ridiculously last night, I wasn't sure how I would make it through today and that's when I got a hair cut appt this afternoon to perk me up! It's way overdue and I have a coupon for a free one at the new Aveda institute. Then after baby comes I have a gift card to this place....



I won the gift card at MOPS on Friday. I almost feel guilty about winning such a nice gift, but I've gotten over it. :)

LOST is on tonight. Yeehaw!

Henry's had a rough time adjusting to being back home. Apparently he was quite spoiled by his grandparents. Oh well, it was still worth it for all of us. Especially when I stayed home on Sunday while RJ had to do powerpoint at church....meaning I was home alone in complete silence from 8-12:00. Lovely.

Last night I had the privilege of going to an indoor "stuff swap". It was such a great idea and recommend it to all y'all. We got to my friends house with 2-3 of adult clothing, accessories, household stuff and misc and set everything up in her house. We drew alphabet letters to establish the order and then took turns going through everything and taking one thing at a time. Towards the end we had a free for all and if some of your stuff was left we just brought it back home. It was really fun and hopefully it becomes a seasonal event!

Have a great Wednesday!

Henry's Home!

It was so great to see Henry last night! He got home around 9 so had to go right to bed, but he's in a great mood today and seems to have grown so much.

So plans were to get the rooms done this weekend. Here's the update... I started working on some really fun collages and have quite a few more to go. Here's my favorite. The *perfect* Bloom plate curtousy of Alisa! I love it.

And here's the UN-finished nursery. Woops! I decided I would much rather relax more and have fun with RJ than be stuck in a room all day working. I am excited to keep working on it, but I don't really care when it's done anymore! Hopefully before baby girl arrives, but you never know....
I have so many fun little frames and birdies and knick-knacks to work with. The kind of scary thing is that about 90% of the shopping I did for all this stuff was in my basement. Yes, I've got an enourmous stock pile of stuff! So it's nice to put some of it to use.

Have a happy Monday!
