So we are on our 3rd week of having our stuff. You would think that everything would be put in its place and the place would be free of boxes. Umm I would call those people, wrong! The garage finally got organized this weekend enough to squeeze my car in there. Once we have our garage sale and sell our extra lawn mower, it all should fit. The landscaping in the front of the house is looking gorgeous. The previous owners had some overgrown bushes and vines in the front which we tore up to plant some beautiful flowering plants. We also repainted the front door and shutters. Lots and lots of projects. It is such a joy to be able to own a house again and not rent. We don't have to ask a landlord if its ok to paint a wall. Our money is actually going towards paying down a house instead of paying the guy who owns the house. Jeff and I have always just been more into the buying of a house instead of renting. Thats just who we are.
Everything is not all in its place partially because we are still waiting for a few things to be fixed. Our king size sleigh bed frame was broke when they were loading it in Massachusetts. Therefore, I have two fairly good size pieces of furniture just hanging out against my wall making it hard to hang stuff up. I also need to still paint Savannah's room and the nursery eventually. I want to pick out the bedding before I paint either room because I'm only painting them once! We are hoping to borrow a bassinet for the baby to sleep in our room until Savannah turns 2 where she will be upgraded to a big girl bed.
Savannah now is a 15 month old. I have no idea how that happened but somehow she grew up. She is a very talkative little girl. I can only understand a few words she says but nevertheless she has a lot to say. I fear that I'm going to have a very vocal little one once she gets the words out so I can understand them. I think in her baby jibberish that she has said mama a couple times. My neighbors were there to witness it and I asked them if they heard what I heard. They said I think that's what she said. I've only waited 8 months for her to say mama after saying dada at 6 months. It's about time! She has also picked up the trait of hitting mommy. When I tell her no she wants to run over and hit me now. She also walks around pointing her pointer finger mumbling off when I scold her. It's so hard not to laugh when she does that. Jeff and I have to remind ourselves that she is acting just like a 15 month old should. When she refuses to get in the shopping cart its because she's learned to walk so she's expressing her independence. Good for her. Tough for mommy and daddy! Soon enough we will understand just how much we underestimated what "having our hands full" really means.
Jeff had a great week last week for sales. He is on the road quite a bit traveling to Dayton, Columbus, Indiana, and northern Kentucky. He comes home usually at night with only having to do one overnight so far. He said that he is pretty much building this territory up from scratch. A good learning experience for someone coming out of training.
This pregnancy is going pretty smoothly. No major bumps so far. I have just been struggling with taking my prenatal vitamin. Either forgetting to take it or getting sick from taking it. That happened in the first trimester with Savannah too. Just have to last another week or so until I am feeling better...hopefully or at least partially normal again. All the sacrifice is worth it in the end when your holding that bundle of joy.
