Who says I don't work...I work, I just don't get paid

Another very busy week behind us. Craig worked all weekend over Labor Day weekend, which kind of stinks but it is nice he is able to get the overtime to help pay for the necessary extras we have recently purchased. I have been busy as all get out trying to get more things done before the bedrest starts. Monday, I got most of my registering done. That was a HUGE accomplishment. It was so busy in the stores on Labor Day! It took many many hours (9 or 10) to get finished, but I think most of it is done.

Tuesday, I spent much of the day running errands...other errands besides planning-for-babies-errands. My brother is about to get married early next month and I needed to get some things done for their special day. We are so excited for them. He is marrying such a wonderful person. I couldn't be happier with the woman he has chosen and I can't wait for the wedding day and for her to be a part of our family.

Wednesday, Craig took the day off work to take care of some final business with the new car. We also spent the day doing a little furniture shopping for the nursery, taking care of some paper work at the hospital and of course we had to run by Babies R Us (my home away from home). We found some furniture we liked at a couple of places, but we didn't make any decisions. I am going to check out Craigslist and a couple of other places first before we make any decisions. We did so much running...with the car, the shopping, taking care of the other car...then, that evening, I went out with the girls to David's Bridal. Kim (my SIL to be) was being fitted for the final time before the BIG day. Then, we had dinner afterwards and just had a good time being girls.

Okay...so by Thursday, I was exhausted. I needed a day of rest. I did have a few things planned to do around the house. My poor disastrous house...all of this errand-running has left my house pretty neglected. My mom stopped by, so we had a good visit. She spent the entire afternoon at my house, so we got the chance to catch up. It was the perfect day to sit and visit. And as you know, Thursdays are my weekly belly shot day. I didn't take it until today (Saturday), but I don't think it will make much of a difference. But...here ya go...

This is 13 wks 3 days

Michaela finished re-upholstering my free glider so I went and picked it up on Friday. It looks soooo much better! Thank you Michaela!




I am getting ready to paint next week, so are trying to get the nursery cleaned out. Friday after work, Craig was able to get the furniture arranged in the office, to be able to put the bed, from the guest bedroom, in it. The office will now be the office/guest bedroom. Today, (Saturday) I got a lot accomplished as far as organizing the closets. I got the office/guest bedroom closet organized and cleaned out; I moved the stuff out of the closet in the nursery and put it in various places...either the office closet or our closet; I got our closet organized (so to speak), mostly stuffed full of all of "our" (Craig's) stuff. He has A LOT of stuff! So now all we have left to do before we can paint is move the bed out of the nursery and into the office/guest, and move two other pieces of furniture out of there and into our closet. YES... you heard me correctly...two other pieces of furniture are being moved into our closet! It is complete craziness! We have too much furniture for this tiny house! It is going to get pretty crowded here when the babies arrive. This moving shouldn't take too long because I have already done the part that takes so much time...the organizing. I would like to paint Monday or Tuesday but Craig is working all weekend again this weekend and we have a pretty full social calendar in the evenings all weekend, so we'll see.

I think my weight issue is improving some, but we will see what the doctor's scales say on Monday. I have another doctor's appointment then. I have been watching my weight at home and it seems to be going up, so that's good. And yes, I am planning to ask my doctor for permission to paint before doing so. I will give you more updates about my doctor's appointment and my next MOM's meeting next week. Hopefully, it will be very informative and beneficial because I will probably only be able to go to one more (maybe two) after this one.
