On a lighter note, there are only 7 weeks from today until my due date. Which means, I only have 4-7 more weeks before this little boy comes out =]. I can't wait to be done being pregnant and have my son. I have almost everything done, there's some more stuff that still needs bought. A lot of stuff that still needs bought, actually, but nothing really that expensive. The big expensive stuff is bought and already in my apartment. I still have to get a travel system though. I can't bring him home without a car seat =\. And I still have to buy some things that I'm going to need to pack my hospital bag. 2 weeks from today, I think that I'll probably pack his bag and mine, just to make sure that I'm ready. I'll go out that day and buy all of the stuff that we still need.
My thought for today is: Why are people so stupid when it comes to driving?
Seriously. If you make a wrong move, just because you're being impatient, you could make it so the person in that car behind you or in front of you, doesn't make it home to see their family. Some retard today with out-of-state plates cut me off on a VERY busy road, to the point that I had to come to an almost complete stop, so that she could wedge herself between me and the large SUV in front of me. Ugh. I hate people like that. What kind of officiants do we have handing out driver's licenses?
T-14 hours and all of this baby shower nonsense will be sorted out =]. As I posted before, I'm excited that people have taken the time to organize a baby shower for me and I'm glad that we're taking time out to celebrate Nathan's birth and stuff. But I really think that I'll be happier when I don't have to worry about how many favors we still need to make or what food needs done or what running we need to get through to make sure that everything gets there on time. It's driving me insane. I hate stress. I love planning stuff like this though -- maybe I like this kind of pressure? I like having something that needs done. It keeps me motivated. 14 hours and this will all be done, and I can move onto the next step in the list of getting ready for him to get here =]. Hope everyone else is having a good day. I'll post pictures and all of that fun stuff tomorrow. Hubby is coming in tonight =D
I'm realizing that I have a lot going on. Lots of projects that need done, some that are and some that aren't near completion. The baby shower is near completion. That's my first goal. In 2 days, all of that stress, headache, and all of the problems that go with it will be gone. Then I can relax for the remainder of Saturday. Then it's back to my husband and my apartment on Saturday night, and then up on Sunday morning to start on the nursery. That's my next project. One of my mini-projects this week will most likely be cleaning my house...most likely it's neat, but not clean the way that I like it, so I'll go down there, sort that out and then, as I said, the nursery. Then, my next big project that I'm waiting on finishing is ongoing. Pregnancy. Sometime in between the end of May and the middle of June, Nathan will be here, and that will be one more thing to cross off of my to-do list. Then, the 18 year project of raising my son. Note that all of those projects, are just the ones that I have going on with the boy. I have TONS of mini-projects going on all of the time, and now I'm finally starting to get them coordinated, straightened, and sorted.
Off to do my mini-projects for tonight. Wrapping baby shower gifts, making baby shower favors. And preparations for tomorrow's baby shower preparations. yay. I'll share pictures after things are rolling. Hope everyone is having a pleasant day =]
I was reading through a list of blogs that I love. Including the likes of Sarcastic Journalist, and Oh My Stinkin' Heck. I love reading these blogs of women who have young children and seeing the things that they go through on a day to day basis. And I love the way that they take everything that happens, from urine in the carpets to their children beating each other, with such lightheartedness and laughing humor. I'm pregnant with my first child and I'm wondering if I'll be able to take things as lightly. I want to be a good mother and I think that I will be. I just don't know that I can smile when I've just been creamed in the face with rice cereal. I truly hope that I can, but as I was reading today, I just thought that I would like to commend these extraordinary women who make my days roll by a little faster, by giving me humor in my day (I can see the humor in it...when it happens to someone else =] ).
My son is due, I've just realized in just over 60 days. I'm a wreck. I don't have anything done. My stomach hurts, there's tons of pressure in there and I don't know what's going on. But, I do have a baby shower coming up on Saturday, after which I can start preparing things for my new arrival. I'm ecstatic =]. I really am excited for June to get here so I can hold my little boy, even if that involves the 26 hours of pain that it involved for me to get here. Of course, I'm human. I'm praying for a 6 hour labor complete with only 20 minutes of pushing and I want to bring home a baby who will immediately sleep through the night. What can I say? I'm an optimist.
I do realize that this was probably the most random blog post that you've ever read. Nothing really happened today, so I didn't have anything to talk about, but I figured I would give you a little bit of insight into the things that I think about, and what makes the wheels in my head start rolling. I promise that I will have something better to say/talk about the next time that I update this blog. In the meantime, I am looking for a community where people will appreciate my sense of humor and my outlook on things, I would like to see people read this and think about the things that I think about. I love feed back =]
