A place to call my own :)



Well Jason was super sweet to me last night, he created an area for my crafts!! We have so much construction and stuff out of order because of all the room shuffling we've been doing that my art/craft supplies are everywhere, now I have a table, with a lamp, a cushy chair and some shelving to organize everything. It's just temporary but it will be great in the meantime. I've been bringing everything up to the dining room table which isn't very big and it always looks so darn messy. Now this is out of the way and much better! I'm so happy! Now maybe my art can commence!! I plan on making a lot of Christmas gifts this year so this will totally come in handy since the room it's in is a last priority to get finished.

Speaking of rooms, we're trying to decide on what to put on the floor in the Dunder Mifflin room now, we've ripped up the old carpet and we're trying to decide on new carpet with the super stainmaster guarantee type thing or laminate, I'm leaning towards laminate but J wants carpet for cost effective reasons. I can't see putting carpet in there with 4 cats though, cats puke way too much for that. So not sure what we'll do but hopefully we'll do it soon.

Also wanted to say thanks to our friends who read this, I never know it, but I've been getting a lot of support from you guys telling us it's ok to feel overwhelmed and stuff about the baby, thanks so much! We love you all!

Can we say OVERWHELMED???

Hi all!

I'll try to keep this one short! Lately Jason and I have been so overwhelmed with everything going on in our lives. We're still freaking out at the fact we're having a baby first off and then that we have so much to do before our little girl gets here!!! We have our moments of excitement but right now the stress of everything else seems to be taking over. We have so many projects to finish at home, not enough time seeing that my due date is 10 weeks and 2 days away!! I was on the verge of tears the other night just thinking about it all, I'm sure I'm just more emotional due to the hormones but this is a lot to soak in all at once, I guess that's why God makes you wait 9 mos. before the baby is done cooking in the oven! This 9 mos. has flown by way too fast, not that I enjoy being pregnant, but that I thought we would have a huge amount of time to get ready. The only thing I have enjoyed about being pregnant is feeling the baby move or kick inside of me. I know Jason is feeling frazzled about a lot and he tries to stay strong for my emotional state but I wish I could help relieve his load of projects, I wish there was more I could do. So if you do read this please pray for us to get over this rough time and help us to focus on what needs to be done before Lorelei gets here. I would greatly appreciate it!!!!!

Thanks!
