Tick, tick, tick. Seriously - the time is going by lighting fast now. I spent this past weekend in Hartsville with mom for Lindsay's wedding. What a beautiful ceremony. I was a reader - and for those of you that know me really well - you know my face became blood red as I spoke in front of the entire church. I swear, when I was on that anti-anxiety drug, Lexapro, my face never got red like that. Oh well, just one of those things I guess. Needless to say, I'm not looking forward to that part of the wedding video!
Rodney has been great getting the house ready for Neil. Our list of things to do has been getting smaller and smaller every day. Last month, we had the following things to do:
Paint the baby furniture - DONE
Take the child prep and tour class - DONE
Take a breastfeeding class - DONE
Write a birthing plan - pretty much DONE
Paint the lettering to go above Neil's crib - DONE
The only thing we haven't finished is to prep the birthing announcements and complete the "list." But, we have time for that.
I have to say a HUGE thank you to my Aunt Harriet for coming to Charleston and painting all Neil's furniture black. It looks so nice! Now all of the hand-me-down furniture doesn't look like it's been handed down. All the pulls match on the drawers and the pieces look like they were meant to be together. However, we do have one HUGE problem. We can't get the crib back together. Seriously - we've tried. It's almost funny - almost, but not!
Rodney has been great in getting other things done around the house. We are getting a new roof this weekend with new gutters and they are even taking down the magnolia tree in the front yard. When mom was here last weekend we planted two large planters at the front door with beautiful plants in each - let's see how long I can keep them alive. We are trying to get even the small things done before Neil decides to make an appearance. 5 weeks and counting!
