I'm so ready for a
'normal' week. Don't get me wrong, I love a good holiday week, but Adam
and I both commented that it's time for life to settle down again.
We've watched several movies lately. None of them great,
unfortunately. We rented
One
For The Money, Tower Heist, The Expendables, The Expendables 2, and Safe House. I ordered Sons of Anarchy: Season 4 today, so
I can’t wait to get that in.
We
went to the lakehouse this weekend and watched our niece [A] play basketball. She’s a freshman, but made her first basket
on the Varsity team this weekend, so that’s exciting. We also watched the Vikings lose so that was
less than fun. At least we had good
friends and good food for the game! :)
Sunday
was a much needed family day. This emotional pregnant mama wanted
nothing more than a day with her family.
So we packed up and headed home early.
We sorted through our newborn clothes for the little man and made our
first couple of purchases for him! ;) No
worries, we made a few for Jordyn too!
Speaking
of Jordyn, we have her toddler bed {say what? where did the time go?!} together and in her room. Oh my word, that is going to be a task! Girlfriend thinks it’s an indoor
trampoline. For a girl with no fear, I
see an ER trip or six in our near future.
We haven’t started the transition yet, but I don’t think it will go down
without a fight. I’m ordering the
bedding this week and we’ll go from there.
My
youngest sister Alicia started her student teaching yesterday, so we had
dinner with her and my other sister Ashley and her new boyfriend last
night. It was fun to catch up. We've been so busy we haven’t been meeting
for our weekend dinner date.
Only
7 more pay periods before this baby comes, which isn't really what I’m
concerned about….it’s the fact that it means there are only seven more times I
earn PTO, which means that most of my maternity leave will be unpaid. Which really sucks because we have to pay for
Jordyn’s daycare spot at the new sitter during my maternity leave, when she won’t
be there [and I won’t be making any money].
I’m
itching to get out and take some photos.
Iowa winter is no fun for a photographer. Maybe I’ll take Jordyn’s Valentine’s photos
next weekend…
