The last few weeks have been a fun kinda busy as Andrew and I have begun to prepare our house for baby. I spent 2 weeks in California shopping with my mom for furniture and picking up our bedding. Then yesterday Andrew and I emptied out my former office to make room for the crib and dresser we ordered. Everything seems to be coming together for our little bundle, everything that is, except my mind. Each day a little piece of my memory, coordination, decision making, and calmness unravels. Shopping lists have become a must. Holding onto wet dishes proves trickier than what I remember...or is that just my memory going? Forget making a decision on what colors to paint the nursery. And investing in orange juice seems to be a wise choice since I lose all sense of calm if I don't feel the baby move at regular intervals throughout the day. How I long for the day when I can hold her in my arms and find the peace of mind that I've lost...hey stop laughing, a girl can dream, can't she?

I loveloveloveLOVE your bedding. A lot. It is the best in the world.
ReplyDeleteSadly, the fuzzy head and lack of coordination is just going to go downhill. I drop EVERYTHING, lose my balance on a regular basis and wouldn't be surprised if I literally forgot my name at some point. I now keep a pad of paper and a pen with me at all times to write myself notes so I won't forget things. Jacob pointed out that pregnancy is kind of practice for being old.
Leanna, How old? What do you mean by old?
ReplyDeleteKellys, love the pic, love the bedding. Someone needs to decide on paint color at some point, maybe pull a color from the bedding? I'm so glad you updated, ditto on the too hot! You are experiencing "normal" pregnancy symptoms even if abnormal to you. God likes to be funny sometimes.
Mom - old, like 90. You're safe for now.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your bedding too! super super cute.
ReplyDeleteyou're a mom now - the insanity is here to stay. sorry, i'm no comfort :) i loved blaming some of the things you mentioned on pregnancy... until i had the baby and they never went away!! you're wise to make lists to remember things... i think my memory will never ever recover to where it was before i had kids. its embarassing!
