I didn’t mention it yesterday, but don’t think it escaped my notice that it was a Thursday and therefore a mere two weeks until my c-section. HOW can it be two weeks already? Don’t they know that I don’t have things near ready enough yet? Do they care? I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess: NO. (And who is this “they” anyhow??)
Kile stayed home yesterday as he was nursing a gnarly cold. I was glad he did, I think he should do what he can to kick that sooner rather than later. And, preferably, not give it to me. He did leave the house with me, however, to run to Home Depot where we acquired some paint for the nursery (does this mean the nursery will be painted this weekend? Tune in to find out!). We also stopped by Starbucks so I could get a Caramel Apple Spice. DUDE. That stuff is like crack. We grabbed a quick lunch at Wendy’s before heading to the local grocery store to pick up some much needed milk and some other supplies. Excitement abounds! But that was it and we headed home to deposit Liam in his crib for a nap.
One look at Evie’s room tells me that I have a LOT of work to do. Painting, wallpaper border and valence rod aside, there is a lot of “stuff” in there that needs to be relocated. I have a feeling this will be my big project this weekend. No pressure, you know. Just have to GET IT DONE.
Tonight, “Monster Jam” comes to Reno and the plan is that Harry and Kile are going. Liam and I are staying behind because a) the noise would almost certainly freak Liam’s shit OUT and b) I would like Evie to pass her newborn hearing test if at all possible, thanks. But it’ll be something fun for the “big boys” to do together and Harry is so excited about it that I’m pretty sure he’ll be launching into the stratosphere at any moment. They’re going to try to meet up with some friends while they’re there, so hopefully that works out. I’m excited for them. I wish I could join the fun, but I imagine I’ll have a nice time here at home. Liam will go down to sleep fairly early and then I’ll be able to veg out in front of the TV and watch a nice chick flick or somesuch. There may, or may not, be chocolate involved.
TWO WEEKS, people. This is not a drill. Two weeks from today I’ll be recovering from my first night of no sleep with a new baby. The anticipation might just eat us all.
This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
