This week....

Tuesday night I went to Enrichment Night, and it was soooo much fun! I brought my sewing machine and even taught others! Can you believe it, my mom would be proud, well, she is the best sewer I have ever meet! ;) I made a tote and pillow!!!! Yeah! I cannot wait to try a dress for Reaganne, or maybe I will start with an apron! ;) I have made many blankets for the kids and I need to hurry and make James' blankets too!

The tote and pillow!

Ok, so I have been wanting to get my hair cut now forever, and finally got the nerve to do it. It is the shortest I have ever had my hair, but I want something easy, fun and cool (as in temperature). So.......I went with the all popular graduated bob!



I am nervous with the back being so short, but I really like it! So, that is my new hair cut! YEAH!~

All that have been pregnant know the nesting phase, well I have hit it hard, bit my brain is over analyzing everything and I seem to not be getting anything done. Yesterday, I spent the whole day making the to do list, writing it several times, thinking of each project way to long, and ended up doing three of the 10 things! I am just so overwhelmed with everything right now! I feel like I am not prepared at all, but that I keep reminding myself that it is OK not to be as perfectly prepared as the other two arrivals! I am working, low energy, and trying to take it easy, so I don't go into preterm labor too early, and chase the kids or break up fights! So, I have plenty of reasons to go easy on myself, but can't seem to have control of my brain and feel the same way! I am frustrated with the kids room situation right now, because they destroy everything and dump their toys out and say, "Mom will you pick this mess up or help us!" Which really means mom does it all! I cannot physically bend over that great anymore with my hard and contracting belly and can't crawl around due to the broken bone, so I am constantly bribing the kids and threaten no lunch or dinner so they will pick it up, but even that gets tiring after awhile. The kids are sharing a room right now, until James is ready to make the move to share with Taylor. So, in reality I have plenty of time to decorate and get ready, but I feel the need to do it all before he comes, which I know I will not, but mentally punish myself everyday that I need to. I know I am crazy! I cannot wait to get my mind and body back! Not much longer!!!!

I love the hair... way cute! Don't be too stressed over not having every little detail ready before the baby comes. When Margaret was born, we hadn't even BOUGHT the bassinet yet, much less set it up. (Steven came a week late so we thought we had plenty of time, but she decided to come a week early... of course.)
