Living

It has been two months since I had a chance to sit down and even think about posting anything.  That should be enough to explain how busy we have been at home, with work and everywhere in between.  A quick recap:

We have moved into our house!  That was an extremely stressful time for us.

We ummmmm found out we are having another baby!!!  Surprise!!  We were.  We were very surprised to find out the Sunday after we moved in and started painting the kitchen with a nice 3 coats of oil based paint.  And replaced the carpet.  That's when the fumes, scent sensitivity and nausea began.  Now I know why I was so tired, unmotivated to actually unpack and live here and so emotional about the whole process.

Needless to say I am past the sick part, into the second trimester and starting to accept the fact that we will have another munchkin in November and that it will all be ok!!  I couldn't wrap my head around it for a while and now I can focus on it, be excited and start the preparations.  Thank goodness we have more than two bedrooms now!

We are beginning to feel settled.  We have some furniture in place, a few things on the wall and I'm starting to have a vision for the rest of the house.  It has been slow and that is ok.  I don't want to rush into purchases and have our house look like a decorator came in and chose everything over a week period.  Not us!!  Here are a few sneak peaks of the house.  I just can't bring myself to share any full room shots yet... maybe next year!

Living is going to consist less of surviving day to day now and will be more enjoying every day.  Including taking time for myself!  We are to that point and it only took a few months to get there.  Thank goodness this little beauty has been a great breath of fresh air!!
