I retreated into the state of pregnancy months back and am just now in the mood to even look at this place. Sorry! Just keeping it honest and real! I didn’t care one bit about writing my thoughts because most of the times I couldn’t gather them enough for a decent phone conversation. So, here I am now…

I am almost 7 months along. As I type that, my heart begins to quicken and I have a scrolling list that rolls across my eyes like a reader board reminding me of all the things I wanted done before this baby arrives. The list is long, the time is short, and the money these things might take is “missing” somehow. I have somehow managed to finish a major project in the last week, though. It gives me hope for the others left undone. I finally finished all of Micah’s big boy bedding and window treatments. If there was a little spare change, I might have added a bit more to it, but baby girl will be needing things a little more pressing ,so I am content with how everything turned out. I’ll post pictures soon. It seems like every time I remember to take the pictures, he is napping!

I can’t even begin to figure out how I will ever get everything sewed for baby girl’s room! It will take lots more time in comparison and I still haven’t managed to find the different fabrics I want to use. I have the main fabric purchased, but nothing to go with it. I am hoping this weekend will be fruitful…I am going to Little Rock to visit family and celebrate birthdays, so I plan to hit the fabric shops there. I have gathered everything from the garage that we will be needing soon, so her room is filled with lots of “mess” at the moment. I have hit several garage sales looking for clothes and things to get us going. I don’t remember worrying and scrambling this much with Micah. What is up with that???

Meanwhile, life at home is good. I am enjoying our family times more and more. Last night as we got Micah ready for bed, I felt so happy. I look forward to watching Daddy give him his bath in the “pretty bubbles” (I am nearby getting jammies and enjoying all their noises), getting him in bed, Daddy reading stories to us, and our prayers and songs. It is such a sweet time! I know that the whole dynamic will change in the months to come, so I am trying to cherish these sweet moments of “just us”. (Some day, if baby girl reads this, I will have to explain this a bit…or else tell her to wait until she has children of her own!).
