Carson is beyond excited and ready for him to be here. We told her that he will be here by Friday (I went past midnight when I was induced last time), but I'm not sure if she realizes exactly what that entails. I just cannot wait for her to meet him. It's very possible that I am more excited for her to meet him than I am. I know she is going to be a great big sister and it just confirms for me that waiting so long in between them was a good idea. Actually, it wasn't the plan all along but it worked out pretty great. She talks about teaching him CONSTANTLY and I will make every effort to make sure she doesn't get frustrated because he can't say ABC straight out of the womb.
The house is coming along slowly but surely. I managed to get four curtains hemmed and hung last night. Also spent about 4 hours making a photo album online yesterday full of our maternity pictures. I can't wait to see how it comes out! Vernon sanded and stained a pallet that we found and we plan to hang that today in the dining room and create a shelf. Found the idea on pinterest of course from The Domestic Doozie's blog:
It really goes with the whole home-y feel. As our little projects get checked off it's a great feeling. I just wish that we weren't on a time crunch. Not being 10 months pregnant would probably make things a little easier too. The father in law and fam are coming down the 12th-19th to visit and meet Chandler. There is going to be a whole lot of chaos going on with a new baby and having family stay with us for a week right afterwards. That's why we (mostly Vernon) want to get everything done prior to that. Here's a little list of things on our to-do list:
- Hang up pallet
- Decorate pallet
- Hang up picture frames
- Order new pictures to swap out of some frames (waiting on discount codes to appear)
- Hang up gallery wall
- Paint trim on Carson's bookshelf
- Finish hemming & hanging curtains
- Get office organized & decorated
