I didn't post at all last week, and there's a reason for that: I am entirely too busy. It's true. I was too busy to remember to take a photo last week, too busy to think about writing a post. I'm packed at work and I'm jam-packed outside of work. I have to start saying no, because Brian and I don't do well when both of us are crazy busy. It's especially difficult to say no to things that, in general, make me incredibly happy: leading a book study for a group at church, participating in bible study and prayer weekly with my girlfriends, but there are only so many hours in a week. Caleb is coming, the stuff is piling up, things have to start getting washed, the holidays are soon to be here. Plus, there's usual: dinner, dishes, laundry, keeping the house fairly picked up and clean. I'm in no way saying these are all my responsibilities: they're shared between Brian and I, always have been, but they have to happen.
This weekend we took it easy: we said no to a party on Saturday night, choosing to stay in, walk to Culver's for dinner and watch a movie. We chose running our errands in a leisurely fashion, finishing up Caleb's dresser, putting up artwork around the apartment that's been sitting on the floor. We asked to push an appointment back half an hour yesterday so that we could eat lunch without rushing. I took an hour half an hour in the kitchen to make the first batch of holiday cookies, Brian's favorite, my Chocolate-Gingerbread cookies. We reconnected and recharged, ready to push forward into this week.
The dresser is finally done! We picked up hardware at Home Depot and Brian promptly attached drawer pulls to finish this project.
We also pulled out the bedding and made the crib look super pretty.
So pregnant. Shortness of breath has definitely kicked in.
