Still Here!

Hi! It's me again! Remember me? Sorry it's been so long. So many things have happened since I last wrote, but I haven't had any time to just sit. I still really don't, but I am having a terrible day at work so I decided to post something. One more week until tax season is over! Yeah! Poor DW. I really don't know how he does it. He has been putting in 15-16 hour work days including weekends. I have been going over there most nights after I get off work. We get home and just crash! I feel like we only have a house so we can sleep and take a shower. All meals have been eaten at his desk. Oh well, almost over!

I will post pictures of the house soon. We move in on the 17th, so in between everything else, I have been trying to pack. Last week we agonized over paint colors and bought 25 samples! The poor man at Home Depot thought I was nuts! It was pretty neat seeing the color on the wall for the baby's room. Can't wait until that's done! We have a painter coming in and doing the actual work (I love DW so much for this!!) and the cleaning people will come in right after. Getting very excited.

I will also post a belly picture soon. I think I am finally "popping". Not enough that a stranger would comment, but definitely something there. DW took a few hours off to do the baby registry with me a few weekends ago. He was so sweet and patient! We were getting ready to go to Babies"R"Us and he said "You know, I am pretty excited about this. It's pretty cool stuff." My hear just melted. He was so helpful. I let him have the gun and he went to town. The cutest part was him picking out all the little stuffed animals he wants her to have. So sweet!

DW's dad bought us the crib and dresser, the one I have had my eye on before DW even agreed to start trying! I also found a TON of brand new Pooh room decor on EBay!! Looks like she is going to have the Classic Pooh room after all!! I was pretty proud of myself for snagging the stuff.

After WEEKS of agonizing, I finally picked a travel system. My mom and dad offered to pay for most of it. I love the colors!

The worst part of today was going to a funeral for a 9 month old. They have determined it was SIDS. So horrible. They were family friends that I grew up with and my heart goes out to them. I don't even want to imagine. How do you go on after that?

To end on a more positive note, I want to share with you all a blog I am following. I ran across Kelle's blog Enjoying the Small Things one day through a news article on AOL. She shared the story of her daughter being born with Down's Syndrome and the shock and grief that came with it. I sobbed through that post, but decided to browse through the rest of them. I am in awe of all her photos and how she captures the sweetest moments of her children's lives. She makes motherhood sound so beautiful and desirable. It makes me hunger even more for the day I will hold my little girl and really become "Mommie".
