188 days left...

So I have officially survived my first trimester of pregnancy... It seems like a blur but that is probably because I slept through about 80% of my summer and about 10% deciding that all the foods I use to love sound about as good as drinking water from an old boot. I am now trying to get ready for Joe's brother to come in town... from the detail about his coming is that he will be in town for about a month but the dates of him staying at are place is up in the air. I am also prepping for the bach. party at my parents cabin, shopping, packing, cleaning decorating, etc. This weekend my mother-in-law will be in town for a semi-high school reunion which is also possibly Joe's brother will be staying with us as well. So more shopping, cleaning, bed making, etc. So I have an intense 2 weeks but after it is all over with it will for sure be nap time :)However back to 188 days left... it is crazy to me that The bump must remind me of how much time I don't have to get ready for our little bundle of joy. I found this count helpful when planing our wedding less then a year ago but it is clear that with every passing day my life is no longer going to be my own. Well I am off to bed again!

Just when you think life cannot get any better

So it has been a long time since my last post but it is crazy how life can change in a blink of an eye. Where to begin the never ending project are continuing and our basement doors are still looking for those final coats of paint but I have convinced my husband the relocation of the TV is not happening until the bath room door is back up... I don't know about you but watching TV while sitting on the toilet is just not classy. Also we are now going on 3 weeks since his brilliant idea to rip out the upstairs bathroom with his Dad before consulting with mine the Plumber. So I have been stumbling to the basement in the middle of the night to use the bathroom... which would not normally be and issue but we also do not have hand rail down the stairs. However the exciting new is that today I am 10 weeks pregnant and feeling better everyday... We are slowing telling family and friends who are so excited it is scary. Our favorite line so far has been 'were you trying' clearly they have forgotten my many times of 'I'm not having kids' statement has slipped there minds. We are both slowly getting use to the idea of having a kid and it is scary to be responsible for another life and praying that I don't mess it up. The most comforting thing I continually tell myself is if 16 yr old kids can do it... so can I : ) I am going to be 26 in a matter of weeks, I have a husband, a house and we have not killed the Guinea Pigs or Dog yet, so its a good start. I do however wonder what kind of mother I am going to be... and if I am going to like being a mom. All things that only time can tell but I wish I could see into the future. I am sure there will be more soon. Heidi
