We are planning to purchase the dresser with some of the money we received from our shower in Ohio. We've also picked out the crib and the changing table. My step-mom is making much of the bedding and curtains. My sis-in-law Tera is planning to add animals to the walls, which mystifies me since I am the opposite of an artist. That task would be impossible for me to even fathom. She did a great hula girl on our niece Angie's wall. I admire her skill. Anyway, my friend Molly will use her artistic talents to make letters. We've agreed that I'll purchase the letters and there will be a few more than necessary in order to not reveal the baby's name. She'll probably figure it out, but I think she'll be nice and pretend she has no idea!
As for the rest of those things that I intended to get done in my hiatus between working and being a mommy, I haven't accomplished much. Jon said I should pace myself, but I really only have 4 months and then my entire world will be turned on it's side, and pacing myself at that point will be much more of a challenge. I still intend to sew, I even bought fabric. I have lots of work to do outside, but the 90+ temps have made that more difficult. And then there is cleaning. I actually spend less time cleaning now than when I was working full time because I always figure I can get it done later....tomorrow....next week... I will hopefully hit the reset button on this soon and maybe make lists of things I want to accomplish. As long as I see some progress I will avoid becoming too upset with myself!
Benji's staples and stitches come out tomorrow. He definitely has his puppy back. He's playing, demanding walks, and generally being Benji. We are very thankful for that!
