Overwhelmed with feelings, Weekend, and Shower

I have been overwhelmed with so many different feelings these past few weeks.

We still aren't in our house...and doubt we'll be in by the end of this month.

So many things keep coming up that we have to fix before we continue work on the house.

Money doesn't grow on trees...

The plan for this week is to get all the texturizing done on the walls and have then dried by this weekend.

On Saturday, the plan is to sand and finish the floors.

That is an all day project. 

The week after that the plan is to paint the walls and tile the floors.

Somewhere in their we are going to redo the bathroom but not sure where that fits in just yet.

Do we move in with just how it is and redo it while we are in it?

Or do we finish it before we move in so we don't have to worry about it when Little Man comes?

Honestly, I could care less at this point and just want to get into my house.

But things happen.

At least I know that there are reasons that things happen and that there are those fun lesson's to be learned along the way.

On Saturday we went to a Child Birth Prep Class.

Wow....

It's getting closer.

I'm soo excited to meet my Little Man yet so nervous to be a Mom.

I absolutely LOVE babies and have loved them all my life!

With my nieces and nephews, I would volunteer to change their diapers when they were babies because I got to spend one on one time with them and also got to hold them afterwards.

I totally knew how to work the system. ;)

But this Little Man is mine.

I am the one getting up with him in the middle of the night to feed him.

I have to bathe him and watch him.

It is a 24 hour job. 

No 15 minute breaks

No 30 minute lunch breaks

No 7 - 3:30 (my current working hours)

and on top of taking care of a newborn, I get to be a house wife.

I'm going from one job to another.

and the second job doesn't ever go away.

I won't be able to quit

I won't be able to switch jobs because I am tired of what I am doing.

It's permanent.

I will have to figure out the "tricks" to this new job.

Find my groove

Make the "boss" (baby) happy

Meet certain quotas and deadlines

I also get to be a Mom

Raise a baby the way I know best

Watch him change as he grows each day

Watch his spirit and testimony build as I teach him about Christ

Watch as he imitates his Daddy and works along side him

Watch as Daddy sets the example of being the priesthood holder in our home

Watch his Daddy hold him and care for him

I think I am more excited to start my new "career" as each day passes.

And I cannot WAIT to see this Little Man in his Daddy's arms.

Dee is soo excited and already loves this little boy more than anything in this world.

Last night we were laying in bed and this little boy was moving like crazy!

It was so much fun to watch and feel!

We were either feeling an elbow or a knee last night and Dee swears he felt either his toes or his hand move across his.

It was so fun to watch his face light up and he was moving.

Makes me even more excited to see this little boy in his arms.

I also have my first baby shower in two weeks!

And Lindy will be here from Cali!

I'm soo excited to see her!
If you knew us growing up, you would be surprised at how close we are now.

We absolutely hated each other.

We rarely got along.

And when we did, it didn't last very long.

We fought so much that I think the last really bad one was before I got married, I pushed her through a wall.

Now we all laugh about it and it is a pretty funny story.

But yes...I did push my older sister through a wall.

Anyways...I got married and things got a little better but not much.

We were both in different places in our lives and it just wasn't meshing.

We aren't exactly sure when it all changed but we are best friends now.

I call her to vent about my day.

I call her to cry.

I call her just to tell her secrets.

I call just to talk.

Three and a half years ago you would not expect this.

I'm so excited to see her and for her to see my big belly!

I've been sending her pic updates but they just aren't the same.

Anyways... Ginger put together my announcements and I am soo happy with how they turned out.

Aren't they so dang cute?

I think so too!

Mandee took the adorable pictures!

except for the middle one. That was taken by Dr. Hartmen's office :)

Happy Monday!
