So I'm officially 32 weeks along... that means only 8 more weeks until baby #2 arrives. Right? Wrong... it could be less.... and now i have the urge to get everything done in 1 days time but there is a huge problem. I have nothing to work with!...
The baby will go in Z's room and Z will be transferred to the office... the office will be transferred to the empty basement. So here is my vision: finish the basement (electric work, drywall, carpet, storage room, etc.) put the office downstairs very organized and neat, paint the office with a theme that is undecided thus far, furnish Z's room, reorganize the closets and we will be good to go.
Here is reality: nothing will get done with a budget of $0.00~~ Fortunately someone is blessing us with a toddler bed. It's a blue race car. Now I need to decide a theme to go with it, colors and such. My mom has been telling me for months that she will bring me her sewing machine and we can make bedsheets or valances, etc. cuz I'm not crazy about anything I've seen so far.
So i just need to focus and still being pregnant... it could be as soon as 6 weeks because I was 38 weeks along when I delivered Z. But this urgency to get it all done is overwhelming me right now. The basement will get done soon enough but man I'm getting so anxious to see how the room will turn out for Z and what the new guy looks like and if Z will be jealous of the baby or if he will adore his little brother...
I know everything will work out, but as I sit here at the gym, I feel so unproductive. I keep making these extravagant lists of what needs to be done and most of the things on there are things I can't do right now. I want instant gratification and it's not happening of course. Patience patience patience.
Plus we are still looking for a second car cuz sharing a kia rio isn't quite going to work out when we need room for a toddler car seat, an infant car seat, a double stroller, a diaper bag, etc. and poor Josh is still working around 100 hours each week so he may be sleeping at the gym the first few weeks just so he can rest.
Well I suppose I will just hang around and see how things come together. God never gives us more than we can handle and I will just be repeating that for the next few months.
