The Final Countdown

5

That is the number of days until my due date for Baby P #2.
The days have started to be kinda hit-or-miss as to how I am feeling physically.
On Thursday this week I felt like a superwoman that could have conquered the world. I vacuumed, dusted, played outside, fixed a nice dinner and could hardly fall asleep I was so geared up. Friday through Sunday - not so much.

I hate just sitting around, and there is a ton that I'd like to do (just to keep from dying of boredom), but I get tired soooo fast that I have to rest. C has gotten pretty understanding that mommy is just a bump-on-a-log lately and so she's generally content to have me sit nearby while she plays or swings.

So, it's really anyone's guess as to when this baby decides to join us on the outside. I am planning on working until Friday, but we'll see.......

Waiting.....

Well dear reader,

We are finally situated over here (as much as one can be) as we await the arrival of Baby #2. The basement has been expertly remodeled by the hubby and father-in-law. The nursery is also done, also expertly by hubby and his general craftiness. C and I put up the crib and organized the dresser last weekend. She LOVED delegating which drawer everything was supposed to go into. J humored us and sweetly hung the valance over the window and the quilt hanger on the wall. Got to love the man!

So, I've attempted to take some pictures to express the warm loviness of the baby's new room, but it's kinda small, so you'll have to use your imagination with the pics. Here we go with a before and after.

Here is the yucky old office with teeny-tiny closet.

Fresh and clean baby room with light yellow walls and undersea creatures theme.

Whoops, not sure how to rotate this.

Love the new rocker that DOESN'T squeak!

Not sure I love the dresser. Kinda orangey for "maple", but it's

been in my garage for like a month and I'm too lazy (at this point) to return it.

Hope little baby comes out healthy and ready to rock and roll with his/her sister because she is soooo excited!.

When Mom Is Away, the Kids Will Play

It's been a busy week around here. I had spring conferences two evening this week so J and C spent a couple of evenings full of daddy - daughter time. Since the weather has been freakishly nice they relished in the opportunity to get their jeeps out. Clearly C has her father's LUV for machines with motors (or batteries at this point anyway).

Paint it white and she could be Daisy Duke - the toddler years.
