Sorry that I haven’t been staying up on my writing as much … it’s been a busy week.
I officially started my new position. I love the people and it’s a great company, but the industry is so different from child care. A lot of what I do is focused on automotive, aerospace, general industry, etc. So while I understand it from my agency days, it’s going to take a while to ramp back up. But I also really miss all of the people I worked with. Well, some of them! And they know who they are.
Other than that, we are finally starting to make some headway with all this baby stuff. We ordered new windows for the house and I am hoping those will be installed sometime around the week of May 23rd. I also picked up some paint samples and decided on the colors. And my mom’s boyfriend will be doing the painting thanks to hubby working on his car! Labor for labor!
Next on the list is trying to select carpet … with two dogs and a new baby on the way, can you say StainMaster?
I also finished registering at Buy Buy Baby thanks to my mom and girlfriend Lauren. Since all of this stuff is new to me, I thought it made sense to take a mom who can tell me what stuff is good, what is crap, and what I really need.
Oh – and the baby furniture arrived. Click here to see a pic of what we got. It’s black to match the lady bug theme we are going with and of course, I needed the WHOLE set. While we haven’t assembled it yet (because it just doesn’t make sense to do that until we get the basics done), we did inspect it and it looks great! I really am looking forward to putting it up. Thanks to my mommy for buying all of it for us – you are the bestest!
I also can’t forget to thank all of my great friends – Amy, Lauren and Jennifer – who have shared everything from maternity clothes to baby essentials to adorable girlie outfits. I really am blessed to have you in my life! THANK YOU!
Finally, the baby showers are also planned! Thank you to Mike’s family for throwing us one on June 25th and to Lauren from hosting one for my friends on July 30th! I am really looking forward to seeing everyone – especially those of you who haven’t seen me with the “pregnancy glow” yet!
And for everyone who has been driving me crazy for a belly photo, here you go!
I am still struggling with the weight gain, but at least now I am looking pregnant and not just fat. Also, I am happy to say that my body seems to have adjusted to this pregnancy thing a little better and I haven’t puked since the cruise. YEAH! The worst part now is fighting this head cold I have had for a while – but at least I can breathe and sleep now!
We have our baby class on May 21st! That should be interesting and I’ll be sure to post all of the funny details on how Mike does! He’s going to be a great dad … but I think we both have a LOT to learn!
