3 weeks, 2 days . . .

Ok, so I had told myself at the beginning of this pregnancy that I would not be eagerly waiting in the last few weeks for the baby to come. Rather, I'd enjoy the time being pregnant and having only one child. Not happening. I can't focus on anything and just cannot wait to see what my little girl is going to look like! Is she going to look like me (I think so) or like her daddy and brother? Am I going to be induced or will I (hopefully) just go into labor and have to wake Lance up in the middle of the night and say "It's time!". I'm a complete freak right now and I guess I knew I would be.





I have a lot of work to do but it's the middle of the day and I have a three-year-old so I'm not working. I work better at night anyways. I am working on painting the baby's room. Check it out:



Didn't Lance do a good job with the pink, green and brown? Now I'm working on the flowers. I'm painting them all in white first then I'm going to go back and color them in. It's a lot of work, but I'm a dork that way. I get an idea in my head and there's really no way around it. I think Lance knew this when he saw my idea for the room and just sighed heavily. But, it's close to being done. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do for bedding, etc. If all else fails I can use Brett's yellow bedding. It won't look wonderful but it'll work. I'm going to use the rocker and drapes from his room which are orange so I'm making sure I put some orange flowers in the mix! I am having a lot of fun with all the pink!

Speaking of pink, one day I was washing some of the clothes I had bought for the baby at a consignment sale. Lance transferred them from the washer into the dryer for me. A few minutes later he said "I can't believe you'd wash something red with all those white things - everything is now pink." I frantically ran to the dryer to see and just started laughing. Everything was pink, but not because anything had been ruined by the laundry, but because it was all pink when I bought it. I guess he's just used to having a boy and there not being any pink around.

Another funny thing today. Brett was telling Lance all about what was going to happen when the baby comes. He then said that the baby is going to look like Grandpa (Lance's dad) because the baby is not going to have any hair and Grandpa doesn't have any hair. We got a good chuckle out of that one!

Ok, well Brett is still napping (hip hip hooray!) and I need to type up instructions for my friend to take care of Magnus while we have the baby (thanks Casey!).

I love what you are doing to the baby's room! Can't wait to see it when it's done! Remind Brettster that baby J is going to have lots of dark hair like you and me!! LOL! Love you!
