Confessions of a Blogaholic

Yes, the baby is a girl, and we are so excited. I have to say, though, that I have been calling it all along--blame that on a mother's intuition. Baby Rylee Ann is 4.5 inches and a little chunky at 5 ounces (supposed to be 3.5), but she and I had a talk and she agreed to do some extra jogging so Mama doesn't have to push out a 10-pounder.

Yesterday, we got the office cleared out and cleaned. We took most of the furniture to either our storage unit or my mom's house. We also got the letters of her name to paint for the wall, and we started to go buy the crib, but my mom insisted we wait another week or so until we can buy all the furniture at once (*eye roll* since we didn't intend for her to buy us a bunch of stuff!)

Today, I am going to clean our green recliner that somewhat matches the bedding we picked out at Buy Buy Baby. Then, Nathan can get that taken upstairs (must keep cats far away from baby's room and the furniture since I definitely don't want cat pee and hair everywhere again!). I'm also going to go ahead and paint the letters since I have nothing else to do today...The letters are going to be green with alternating polka dots or stripes. I'll try to post a picture later if I'm feeling at all motivated to go through that hassle, lol.

In all, we are obviously excited. We have to get as much of this stuff done now as possible, since we have some pretty big events coming up in the months ahead (Thanksgiving/possible trip to W.Va to see the Christmas lights, Christmas--trip to Myrtle Beach, January and February--all my energy expended on dragging the children through their research papers, then *BAM* it's almost baby time!). Plus, it's just nice to see things in the room and know that eventually we'll have a little one in there.
