I have been going nuts making tutus, shopping, making hair clips, planning out her room and everything else. I have found myself becoming super crafty since finding out that I am pregnant. I was a full time student when I became pregnant and I thought that this pregnancy would go just as smooth as my son's but I was WRONG! I have been sick since day one. I have lost 20ish pounds and still to this day I haven't been able to gain anything.
Anyway, long story short, I had to take a leave from school and during my leave the school got new administration, "lost" my paperwork approving my leave and kicked me out. I knew that there was a reason I always hated that school. SOOO now that I am a full-time SAHM, I have realized how boring it is to sit and watch tv day in and day out. Now I have all of this energy and I can't do anything with it! So I occupy my hands and my mind and plan out all of these "Honey-Do" lists.
13ish weeks before we are expecting her to make her big debut and we still have to clean out our loft (which has been used for storage for years) and move our son's room upstairs. Just to get the upstairs ready for him involves getting rid of 6 years of accumulation, scraping that (ugly) popcorn stuff off the ceiling (it is so old it's falling off!), painting the ceiling and walls and vacuuming. I think that is it for my "Honey-Do/Upstairs" list...of course my husband wants to build a wall so we can close off the loft and make it a little more private for our son...Personally I don't think a (almost) 4 y/o needs any privacy but I do want to keep his messy room just that, HIS. I don't like seeing the mess when I can't do jack about it!
After we get him moved upstairs, that is when the REAL work begins. We have to rent one of those super steamy deep cleaning shampooing vacuum things from a hardware store, CLEAN ALL of the carpet downstairs since we have animals and a son that have urinated and (for lack of a better word) pooped on the carpets while potty training (and relapsing). Once her floor is clean, I am locking the animals and our son out of her room. We then have to start patching the walls and door in her room because our son is a little devil at times and has put his head through the door and the walls during temper tantrums...that boy's head is too thick! lol. Luckily since Mommy and Daddy have stopped fighting and we have come closer as a couple and realizing what we want for our family, the violent temper tantrums have stopped.
Yeah, anyways off of that...
After her dresser and nightstand are finished, we have to build her crib/changer. God I cannot wait to get her room really started! I have to make her curtains, finish her rag rug, figure out which mural I am going to paint on her wall...either that or I might ask my MIL to come over and do that...she might like that. There are so many things that I have to do, so many ideas that I have still! OH! Her mobile! I still have to make that! (our son broke 3 mobiles so I think making one and hanging it from the ceiling will be a better choice this time lol) I have some tulle pom-poms made for her already, I think I am going to take a Styrofoam wreath and attach all different colors of fabric flowers and ribbons just to give her some visual stimulation.
I am so excited can you tell?!
