sorry

for the negative post yesterday.  Apparently, it was an exhausted, whoa is me, feel sorry for me kinda day. 

I'm working on getting our school room finalized.  I'm searching for where we put all the posters and things in our old schoolroom/dining room.  I'm pretty sure we unpacked them, but have no idea where we put them, so the hunt continues.  My next step is to get some curtains or something up in here.  The white walls, with white blinds, is a little much for me.  I'm debating whether or not, just to sponge a pale yellow or blue on the walls, just to get some color.  Maybe blue would be better, isn't that color supposed to put you in a good mood?  AT this point, I would have to go around the bookcase and computer hutch, becase well, they are way to heavy to move and no one will ever see behind them.  I think I'll look at paint this week.

Must be nesting I guess.  I'm also trying to get the rest of the stuff up on the walls.  The echoing in here is a little overwhelming sometimes.  hehe

Also this week, we're going to be putting together the crib and getting a baby swing for baby x.  I just realized that we are exactly eight days away from the csection.  Wow, where did that time go?  I will also get a bouncy seat, but we don't need that right now.  I use it more later on.  I don't need the dog licking the newborn or Kailyn pulling her off the table or counter (did I mention that Kailyn's climbing all over in the last post?)

I've been pretty lazy today and haven't gotten much done.  I guess I needed that.  Tomorrow I will get going and get some things done that need to be done.  I'm excited to finally be getting the school room and the rest of the house done!  Yeah!!

Take care!!  Tomorrow is a doctor's appt and hopefully I will find out what time the csection is scheduled for next week.  Daddy has a standing golf game on Tuesdays and would like to try to fit it in, hehehe.

ps-we are so excited for football season!!  Last night, we got to watch the Bills-which is my team and yes they lost AGAIN!!  We're famous for that.  Anyway, its nice being able to watch football at a normal time.  In Japan, we had to get up at 3am on Mondays to watch the Sunday afternoon games!

Also, please keep my Japanese friends in your prayers.  The area where we lived has had to major earthquakes in the last few days!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. We have so appreciated everyone's prayers. It has been a crazy time but we are thankful to have grown through it.
That's a great idea for the Iditarod map. We were also going to follow Dee Dee. I had read her profile in a book my friend gave me. I thought I'd let the kids choose the other ones to follow. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it!

I like the new blog look.

Did you ever choose a name?

Aren't scheduled C-sections great? Well, at least the Boss thought so.
