We are officially 24 weeks today! How did we get this far so fast? Where did October go? Rhetorical question since I know where it went: I dedicated the month to my job, of course. Work has been hellish busy and stressful lately, and I can't help but think how different my schedule - my availability - will be after the baby is here. There will be no 12-16 hour days on a regular basis.
Sorry, Job. I know I set a kid-less precedent for 11 years. I put in lots of time, worked crazy hours, and did pretty much anything you asked of me. Now, it's time for me to move on to bigger and better things. I hope you support me in my big transition like I've supported you for the last decade!

Thinking Baby's Room
Let me start by saying Paul is the artistic (not autistic - that's me and an entirely different non-existent blog) one in our marriage. I like crafting, but wouldn't call myself particularly artsy. So when talking about the baby's room (that is now his office and our storage room/guest room) this afternoon's banter went something like:
Me: Have you thought more about what you want to do in the nursery?
Him: Yes
Me: Willing to share?
Him: I was thinking about a 3D design with a supporting mural (not his words, but that was the idea)
Me: 3D huh?
Him: [explains things that are more than just paint on the wall]
Me: So you would do the building and enlist my mom's help for some sewing? Hmmm. That sounds interesting honey. [<<< that's me being supportive!]
Him: It would be totally easy
Me: [laughing on the inside, thinking about Tim Allen's character on Home Improvement, knowing he'll certainly go above and beyond] Ok. Hey, just wondering, who will dust it?
Him: What?
Me: Yeah, 3D stuff sticks out so it will inevitably collect dust. I was just wondering who was going to clean it.
Him: [funny cute smile that said "Hey, I'm just thinking about making this room bad-ass. That's a different problem entirely!"] Ummmmmmm....
I can't wait for mid-December to be here. Paul will be done with school and we can start working on the room. I'm not even sure I want to decorate the house inside or out for Christmas... seems like that will take precious time away from our time to focus on getting ready for Baby. After all, I'll be leaving for Northern CA in the beginning of February and he'll be following shortly after so we'll only have 6-7 weeks to pull it all together. Plenty of time if you don't factor in Christmas and New Year's crappola. Excited nonetheless!
