Lots to Do & Lots Done too...

We're now sitting at a 5 week countdown til our new baby makes an entrance! Five weeks can seem like a very long wait or a flash of time depending on what you're waiting for OR up against. Are you starting a diet? well...that would be a very long time to look at. However, if you use a calculator & are expecting a large number - you'll see it only pops up a 35 on that little screen - which converts to "days left" & that takes you by suprize a bit! The whole time you've been looking at nothing but long stretches of time to wait around to meet that person in there. incrementsd of time measured by numbers like: 20 weeks left or 3 months left - not anymore...

We've accomplished many things on our to - do list around the house, so that's a very good feeling for both of us. And just celebrated our two yr anniversary of living here. But as with most crossed - off lists, there's always more underneath, isn't there?!? So we just keep at it ;-) The carpet & couch - BOTH crossed off the list. Happy I don't have to bring a baby down to the patchwork of rugs on concrete downstairs now. And we finally have a resting place we can all fit on AT ONCE - we don't need to fight for space on the big chair anymore.

We still have the bar behind the couch to put finishing touches on & hang pictures & the rest of the signs we have waiting to find a home on the wall - but the biggest part of it is done. Our guest bedroom has been moved downstairs to it's newly carpeted floor...all of a sudden 1/2 of our basement has completely changed to look all warm & cozy with furniture & flooring!

And the baby's room (between Elise's room & our room upstairs) has her old crib & changing table waiting for some company. We've always been in that room to read nap & bedtime books in the rocking chair - and soon someone will be making little noises in there with us!

Eric is just getting back from another 4 day trip from our Spring Bd mtg in D.C. This time I got to stay home & waddle around working here. The mountain of hats is getting lower! That's always a good thing to see - cuz I'm getting further away from being able to stand that close to the machine. ha ha!
