This week has been such a fun week of decorating. I feel like we were able to make a huge
check mark off one item of our list.
Living room, CHECK. We have
been ordering furniture for about a month now and picking up little odds and
ends from various markets, second hand shops and other home good stores and we
could finally put it all together.
Perfect timing too because we would be having some friends come in town
for the weekend.
Logan and I have wanted to get this room complete first
before moving to the nursery. It
was the last room of the house that needed furniture. Before now it was always referred to as the ‘yoga room’
because it was just a big empty space that we didn’t know what to do with. Now it is a cozy media room that is
prefect for unwinding after a long day.
Here are some before and after photos. Obviously there is still some work to be done but it is a
comfortable and functional space.
Most importantly, it has a recliner for Logan.
So… I get it.
Everyone who has seen it so far has referred to it as an adult room and
Logan has warned me that it isn’t kid friendly. There are fragile antiques, light color furniture and a lot
of ‘stuff’ on the tabletops.
However, this is not the kid room.
The kid room is the one with the divorce collection that while I am not
going to be encouraging it, I will not be getting mad if there ends up being
spilled milk, crayon, or scissor cuts on.
How long will I be able to pull this off? Who knows?
Maybe not even a year. But
I will be enjoying it while it lasts, that’s for sure.
Now I have a little bit of time that I can soak in snuggling
on the clean couch in a pretty room with my husband before baby girl
comes. This week our little girl
weighs a pound. A pound? That is it? Well, I sure have made her a big home to roam around
in. She can hear my voice and
heartbeat. It really makes me want
to come up with her name so I can start talking to her. Right now it is a little hard for me to
comprehend that she can hear me and would benefit from hearing my voice. I mean I remember all the long talks I
had with my mom while I was in the womb…. Said no one ever.
While baby girl is hanging out and taking naps on my
bladder, I have been experiencing some wicked heartburn this week. It doesn’t matter what I eat or when I
eat it, I am going to have heartburn.
And I always forget how bad it is until it comes so I am never
prepared. I need to just keep a
thing of Tums in my purse but I don’t think about it until it is already too
late. It usually happens around
4:00 and goes on until I finally get home at 6:30-7 and can pop a few Tums like
candy.
Thank goodness it hasn’t really been an issue while I am
going to bed. The only issue I
have when I go to bed are these crazy anxiety dreams. I keep thinking about all the things I could forget about
and neglect my poor child. Most of
them are extreme and would never happen like leaving her in the car all day
because I forgot that I was driving her somewhere or just not feeding her at
all for 3 days straight because I didn’t think about it. But the truth is that even though none
of these things would happen, I think the anxiety is just coming from the fear
of the unknown. So, I have been
trying to spend a lot more time in prayer. I find that the more I lift up our sweet girl and all my
fears to God, the less often I have these dreams and thoughts. I have to keep reminding myself that I cannot
spend my time stressing over things that I don’t have power over and that I
need to Him in control. When I did
my 30 before 30 challenge, one of my items on my list was to memorize some of
my favorite bible verses. It is
amazing how those have stuck with me and pop in my head when I need them the
most. This week, my verse was
Philippians 4:6. I hope it can be
as good of a reminder to you as it is for me.
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by
prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God
