The baby's calling the shots.

I'll first start this blog with what is foremost in my mind then go into all the exciting things that happened this past week.  A very tough decision was made this week and one that leaves me working part-time.  As everyone knows this pregnancy has not been easy and continues to drain every ounce of life from me.  As one of my co-workers said the other day, "This is gonna be one damn good-looking baby because it's taken all you have."  We have come to the realization that working full time is not in the cards I was dealt.  It's hard admitting defeat especially for me whose someone that refuses to accept defeat.  My life has proven thus far that I can do anything I put my mind to.  I guess there is a life lesson here.  When it comes to this baby my wishes are now second and this baby is now calling the shots...and I'm quite sure this is only the beginning of that.   I know this is best for both the baby's health and mine but getting there in my mind will take awhile.

  OK on a more fun note!  We started getting the baby room ready!  We decided to use the yellow room which is painted a bright yellow and thus far has served as our main guest room.  Yellow being a gender neutral color it will serve for a boy or a girl...at least until there old enough to tell me differently ;)  Mama Jane and I shopped many places looking for baby furniture and found the best overall value at Target.  Mama Jane and papa Joe surprised us and bought the furniture!  The furniture is a beautiful dark cherry color that looks amazing next to the bright yellow.  Jane and Joe, thank you sooo much!  Mike even found a glider in superb condition on craigslist that matches perfectly too.  Just when I thought we couldn't get any more spoiled, we were.  My Aunt Colleen and Uncle Al sent us a Herman Miller rocking chair.  The coolest rocking chair ever made!  This will sit in our living room next to the pack-play and looks awesome there.  This will work out great to have a rocker on the main level.  Colleen and Al, thank you sooo much!  Love to all, Kim
