Seriously?

My life as I know it

T Minus 8 days June 30, 2007

Filed under: Kids — findingbabyg @ 9:47 pm

Progress made today:  bought new bedroom set for Supergirl!  This was very exciting, we found a twin bed, dresser and nightstand.  She is currently using a toddler bed and her dresser doubles as a changing table (although not anymore).  Anyways, it was either by a new crib mattress (since ours is on her bed) and a new dresser for her, or get her a ‘big bed’ with a matching dresser.  We decided on the big bed.  It won’t be in until Thursday but I am VERY excited.  We also got a rug and valance to match the bedding in the baby’s room.  I finished getting the gifts for Supergirl to open while I am gone (one for each night).  And lots of fun little travel size necessities, shampoo, soap, etc.  Oooh, and snacks for the trip. Yum…

Now I just have to decide if I can wait until Thursday to move Supergirl’s dresser into the baby’s room.  Either his clothes or her clothes are going to end up on the floor.  He has fewer clothes, so I guess I can wait.  I am just super excited about getting the room finished.  I am trying to put the blinds up tonight, but am having some small issues.  Mostly, just the window is stupid :)

I almost forgot.  I did reach a sort of dumbfounded panic moment at the store while getting supplies.  Formula…  What on earth is going on?  Who knew there were 1000 different types of formula?  Where does one even start?  I finally gave up and just didn’t get any.  If anyone has any suggestions PLEASE let me know.

Since I’m going a little nuts in the last few days I will probably be posting craziness every day.  Please bear with me, it’s only a week.

 

Preparations June 29, 2007

I am living on a rush of adrenaline right now, which is incredibly wonderful.  I am getting a lot of things done!  We have our tickets (they are actually sitting next to me right now!), our hotel reservations, I ordered glasses yesterday (I don’t have any, only contacts, and it is suggested you probably will want some on the flight..).  Baby G’s room is painted, the border is up, the carpet is due here any minute this morning!  Once the carpet is in, I think we can put the crib together tonight and I can make his sweet little bed! (I need to wash his sheets, hold on–I have to add that to my list)  Speaking of lists I have like 8 lists right now in various parts of the house, I need to add to one of them  “Consolidate lists.” 

I think I would be a much better mom/wife if I felt like this all of the time.

Take a deep breath June 26, 2007

I received an email today from our agency stating we can move our embassy date up to the 11th as opposed to the 18th, if we would like to.  This means we can go a week earlier than planned!  So through a crazed flurry of calling Daddy-O, trying to get a hold of my dad, changing plane reservations, we made it to the other side.  We are now leaving on July 8th!!!  Less than 2 weeks away!!  I seriously have so much to do I can’t even think, and I have been shaking all day because I am SO EXCITED!!!   So, I have to go now, lots to do you know!!!

 

Here we go! June 25, 2007

That’s right, I am now a whopping 28 years old.  AND I have a cold today (BLAH!!!) as does poor Supergirl.  She’s taking it much better than me!  AND Daddy-O is working (blah) and last but not least….I just found a dead raccoon in our front yard.

Good news:  Our neighbor disposed of the raccoon for me :)   Our court date is tomorrow (although I learned Friday that the office will be closed Monday so I am sort of panicking at the thought that we may have to wait until Tuesday to know how it went).  Oh yeah, and it has rained a little, yay rain.
