So I know I've been amiss in my blogging lately. I've had a lot going on. I've been nesting like crazy. Everything is getting cleaned and organized. Projects are getting completed. Plans are getting in order. I've got 3 weeks left before this baby is getting evicted! I'm getting all my ducks in a row. Now if only I could find the battery charger for my camera battery and take photos of all of my accomplishments. :-( I had it in the diaper bag the other day and I'm afraid our little one thought it a toy and now I can't find it. I have not given up though, I know it has to be somewhere! I shall find it!! I must find it, I'd really like to have it ready to go for the hospital.
We have this baby scheduled for C-Section on August 15th at 1:30pm so, prayers would be appreciated for that for sure. I've had so much going on that I haven't even had time to blog from work and we are still internet free at home which is really proving to allow for much more room to prepare for baby. I have been slacking on my meal planning though since I've been without online recipes and inspiration for new things. I've also been feeling less and less like cooking with the extreme humidity here (the only downside of living only a few miles from the beach).
I've been truly blessed with hand me downs! Norah has all of Joey's old things that weren't totally stained and gross and with hand me downs and gifts Norah already has a complete wardrobe for the first year of her life. And then I get to pass them on down to a lovely friend of ours who is having a little girl in a several months. I love it!! It's also going to be perfect for us because then I won't be tempted to haul baby things across the country when we move.
Danny has recently found work!! PRAISE JESUS!!! I'm so excited for him. The company looks like such a good fit for him. He's going to be part of a flagship team taking over merchandising for the local Best Buy. The best part...The company is a National one and they have locations in Colorado. So, here's hoping that it's just part of the amazing set-up that I foresee for our moving. I've been being blessed with little snippets of hope, in a bunch of people that we know all talking about moving to the Denver area which is where I've been feeling like we're supposed to be going and Danny is now starting to feel a little more as well. WOOHOO! It's so nice to be on the same page as your spouse about big things. The small things too, but the big things really do tend to be the conflict starters don't they?
Ok, well I've got some more calls to make and emails to send to get everything all set for this baby's arrival so I'm going to be off!

Productive weekend
I must say being without advanced technology at home has been rather refreshing. We're getting so much done. We've gone through every box in the house. We've cleared out so much crap. We found lost loved items. We even found an old Raggedy Andy doll that used to belong to Danny's dad, that Joey has quickly fallen in love with and calls Andy Dandy.
I organized all of our old baby clothes from when Joey was a wee one. Now I just have to go through the new hand-me-downs that I've been too overwhelmed to get to yet. I'm super pumped. I found three nursing bras amongst all the baby clothes along with two pairs of maternity jeans and two pairs of maternity Capri's and one pair of maternity shorts and three of my favorite tops from the last go round. Oh man, what a score!! I was so stoked!! I think I actually squealed.
I got all of Joey's clothes organized in drawers at her height and she's very excited about being able to get herself dressed. She still needs a bit of help making sure shirts are on the right way front and that shoes are on the right feet but she's getting pretty good at it. Now if only I could get her to focus on learning what all the letters in the alphabet song look like. She seems totally content on just knowing the letters and never learning to recognize them. A little frustrating but we have time still.
Got to visit with my family on Father's Day and it was a blast. Joey and my sister Maggie spent 3 straight hours playing with the hose, two buckets and two dish soap bottles. They only took one short break for brownies and that was it. They had such a blast and it was awesome fun to watch. I was really glad that I had that SPF 60 for her though. She is just so fair skinned and never seems to pick up any color. Not even a freckle.
I've got an ultrasound next week. It seems our little Norah has decided that she has to be different from her sister. She was breech at our last appointment (and in our last ultrasound) and the OBGYN wants to double check on her position as we get closer. Fun Stuff. At least we were already planning on a repeat c-section. So it doesn't change our plans much. It just really helps ease our minds more than anything that our sense that this was the path that we were supposed to take. And that those urgings that Danny and I felt from God way back at the beginning of this pregnancy were accurate. Yay God!
Oh well, I'm off. The hubs will be picking me up from work soon and off we'll go.
