Sorry for the absence everyone but we have been BUSY!!
We have gotten so much accomplished which is great because I was really doubting things would be done in time for little one. Low and behold...the husband and crew pulled it off! The upstairs I would say is 90% finished. We have just little things to do which I think will mostly wait until after baby. But we have it all painted (just need some touch ups), carpet laid, moved in, clothes hung, bathroom and office almost completed which may get done this weekend. It is so nice to have things organized and living like normal humans instead of nomads. It sure makes for one happy momma! I told Mick that I actually enjoy stepping foot into the house now. Of course there is so much still to do this old house but in time...it will be perfect. We have the Christmas tree (if you recall...its the massive 10 ft. tree!!) That was quite the sight as I couldn't help Mick as much this year since I couldn't be on the ladder but we got it done and it looks beautiful. We are literally just waiting for baby. Her room looks fabulous and I think that its just as I had imagined. We still have some wall hangings and small decor to get and place but otherwise its complete...minus baby. Mick can not believe how many clothes she already has...I think it really disturbs him that she has more clothes than he does or probably ever has had! Again, I can not express enough how great Mick has been through all of this...he really is going to be a great dad. Speaking of...I kept telling Mick that I needed a push present ever since we got pregnant. First of all, I had to explain what this was to him....he just laughed at me and said that was for Hollywood! Well, surprise surprise....he got me the best push present/Christmas gift ever!!! A NEW CAMERA! I am not talking Walmart brand here either...its a professional camera and I couldn't be more excited. Just in time for baby....as you all know I LOVE LOVE LOVE taking pictures and my iphone was just not cutting it for me. We had professional pictures taken at Mick's Christmas work party and I had a better camera than she did....talk about special. When Mick told me-I about flipped my lid. I wasn't really serious about the push present but at least he listened and did extremely well...so I won't complain. So you will be seeing LOTS of photos on here soon! I have to laugh that I got a push present before even pushing. I said the only thing I've pushed was probably his buttons! LOL!Speaking of buttons...my new nephew Lane Matthew is cute as a button! He was born November 14th and is adorable. So is his big brother Grant. Grant does so well with him and its so cute to watch and imagine the two of them in a few years. Its going to be wonderful watching them grow up together and bond. You also forget how small little babies are...have to admit that I was quite nervous visiting in the hospital and learning all these new things about newborns from Dana. Reality is starting to hit me....and so are contractions! LOL!
They aren't anything consistent are too painful yet but they are happening. I am officially dilated to the big ol 1!! But boy oh boy am I ready to have this little girl. She's making me very anxious as I just want her home before Christmas but of course, just like everything else in this pregnancy, it probably will not happen that way. Just as long as she stays healthy...what a joy Christmas will be with a newborn! We have our bags packed and ready to for the go ahead from Little Miss...
Hopefully, I can get a few more posts in before she arrives and of course share some photos with the new camera!!!
