Almost over

Chris and I have been on vacation since New Year's Eve. I say vacation, but it has really been work. It started off with me having a weird stomach thing and being sick for about 4 days. That was not fun at all and the only thing I could do was drink a ton of water and stay away from dairy. That is not easy to do when I love cheese and milk. I did my best and eventually got better. Then, we started to clean. HA! That is just ridiculous. We spent so much time putting laundry away, storing stuff in the attic or basement, and deciding on what to do with the rooms. It is not a simple task when I get so out of breath and exhausted after doing very little work. I have to admit though, we got quite a bit done. Almost every article of clothing has its place. The bathroom is spotless thanks to Chris and the steamer. Colors have been chosen for the nursery. And finally, I had a bridal shower to go to today. I was not sure what Chris was going to do when I was gone. I came home to the house in darkness except for the basement room. He told me to go back upstairs and look in the living room. It looks great!! He moved the tv and entertainment center. Also, emptied the computer room and put the desk in the living room. I am so excited. That was huge. We now have space. We are going to paint the computer room this coming weekend and move our bedroom furniture into that room. Next, we will pick out a rug and paint our old bedroom for the nursery. It will all get done. I am so glad to have a plan in gear.

The other thing we did this week was our baby registry. Yikes, I am not sure what to say about that. We went one night to look at things and try them out in the store. Then, we went home and researched safety qualities and other factors. A few days later we returned to start scanning. I am not exaggerating when I say we were there for over 3 hours and are still not done. I was so tired. I had to give up. We went home and I continued to be obsessed with the registry. I spent many more hours researching and adding....still not done. I have not looked at it at all today, but I think I will in a few minutes. I need to complete it. We may go back to the store tomorrow. There is not a lot left, but enough to annoy me. I thought it would be easy.

I think that is all for now. I am not very motivated to do much except obsess over the things that aren't done. Oh, that includes listening to the heartbeat EVERY night with the monitor.
