Well, I know its been a while since I wrote last and there is no good excuse. I am just a lazy bum that hasn't put in the effort. True, I haven't been feeling very inspired, but I know that its more a matter of just bucking up and getting it done. SO now I am doing it! Here is an update on a bit of what has been going down with me and my little family lately.
We recently acquired a our first substantial baby item, a car seat, which is a wonderful blessing from a wonderful friend! We are so thankful for it! Up until now all we have had is a small box of baby clothes due to Adam having the veto power on everything I want to buy. This is a good thing as I have a tendency to want to go overboard and way over prepare so I am thankful for his wisdom despite the fact that it has prevented me from purchasing a multitude of adorable yet unnecessary baby paraphernalia. Anyway, now that we finally have the vessel in which we will bring our little bundle of joy home everything seems so much more real. When I see baby clothes laying about I think in my mind I still associate dolls. I know in my head they are not doll clothes and that they are actually for my real live baby, but it doesn't hit home like a car seat. I lay in my bed at night and see it sitting there on the shelf in all its heavy duty, made for real baby glory and I can't help but get a little freaked out! Its like layers are slowly being peeled off my brain so I can get used to the fact that in a little over three months I am going to be a mom.. Whoa.. Typing that out took another layer I think. So now my brain is in full baby prepping gear. I like to say that now that I have a "viable fetus" it could be here any time so we need to be ready. This is another symptom of my need to over prepare so once again I am having to allow Adam to gently reel me in and explain to me why we don't need to buy every box of diapers on sale right away.
Other than my constant revelations not much has happened on the baby front. We are very thankful that our little bean is growing so well and every day they get stronger which is wonderful. I love feeling the nightly river dances and tap routines they are practicing and I am gearing up for an active little one! Adam and I are looking for a place of our own to bring bean home to, but finding suites sucks! Sometimes it feels as though I boarded a train without knowing the destination or how long the trip would be and now I have no option of getting off. Some people might not like that, but my adventuresome spirit is loving it. I find an odd sense of security in being pretty much out of control.
Well, that is all I will say for now. I have some ideas for future posts with thoughts I have been wanting to share, but they will likely be longish so I won't start now!
Instead I will share some random and not so exciting pictures! :p
