More Minutes!

I guess it's par for the course this time of year, but it seems like there are just not enough minutes in the day. Since returning from St. Louis it feels as though it's been non stop either running errands, working on projects, catching up on laundry, grocery shopping, Christmas decorating, etc. etc. Whew! I'm ready for the weekend. It will be a busy one too, but I'm looking forward to squeezing in a little time to curl up with a good book and take a NAP. Oh, how I love my sleep right now (okay, well....all the time!).

Last year we traveled to St. Louis for Christmas so we didn't bother putting up any of our Christmas decorations. It seemed like too much work for something we wouldn't be around to fully appreciate. But this year we're staying here, and my parents are coming to visit, so it's actually been fun and exciting to decorate! Things seem new again after you haven't taken them out of the box in 2 years!!

The baby's bedding arrived and we picked it up this week. The color is a little lighter than I'd expected and for lack of a better word it's very "organic-ish" looking. Wasn't quite what I expected, and I debated about it a bit but I think it's here to stay. I know the material will be nice for the baby and I'm hopeful that once we get some color on the walls and some artwork in place, it will really brighten up the room. Right now with the white walls, and brown bedding it's looking rather blah. It's a work in progress though and I'm feeling like we're making good progress in order to be ready on time, if not early. We even have our eye on a glider that we're going to check out this weekend.

One week from today we'll have our 27 week check up. It will have been almost a 5 week stretch since going, so I am really looking forward to it this time! I'll have the glucose screening at that time as well. As big as my belly has gotten in the last 2 weeks, I'm a little nervous about it but hoping for the best. I just really want to avoid that 3 hour test you have to take if you don't pass the first one!

Well, off to work for another busy day. I think a nice bath is calling my name tonight! ;)

Sounds like your very busy but making excellent progress too! Good luck on the glucose test, don't stress it too much I thought for sure I'd fail the one hour and I passed it. I think your probably even healthier than I am so I bet you'll have no trouble.
