Things that have happened over the past few weeks (that I have been MIA)
• I finished THE EASTER DRESS! (pics to come later…I’m behind on that, too)
• I even made beloved Baby Stella a matching dress!
• Southern Girl had her 3rd laser surgery…she was very bruised for Easter, but they have finally faded away. I pray that we will be through with the treatments by the end of this year.
• Seasons have progressed…I went from being a football widow, to a basketball widow, now to a baseball widow. It’s funny how I don’t mind Southern Dad being a referee/official (whatever it’s called) as much as I used to – maybe it’s that I don’t object to that steady extra income he brings home each week!
• Standardized test week came in with a bang, and THANK GOD IT’S OVER! That’s all I’m going to say about that!
• I failed my little one hour glucose test at my regular doctor visit and had to go in for the loooooonnnnnnnggggggg 3 hour test last week– but I passed it with flying colors! Yay! I think the first one was tainted by the large 100-grams-of-carbs burrito I ate about 30 minutes before my appointment, which ended up being about 1.5 hours before they drew my blood for the test. Oops! (but it was soooooo good!)
• We got a new car! We knew it was something we were going to have to do with the baby coming and all, and an opportunity arose that we couldn’t pass up. It was a very hard decision for me to say yes to, because we have been without a car payment for a year, but with a few sacrifices (bye-bye weekly house cleaning) I think we’ll live!
• Did you know that I am now 32.5 weeks pregnant? OHMYGAH...this baby is coming in 2 months (somewhat), and I have NOTHING READY!!!! I do have bedding (we are reusing Southern Boy's crib bedding), but Southern Girl is moving bedrooms - so her new room needs painting. The baby is going into Southern Girl's old room so it is going to need a new coat of paint as well! luckily I'm not the one to do all that painting! I had a little worry party last week that consisted of "what if the baby came early....nothing's ready...we have nothing for this baby...holy crap!" So I marched (well not literally marched) to Target and bought 3 little outfits. Not a big start, but at least it's something!
• Speaking of getting ready...It's major milestone time in our house...KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION is a week from today! I can't believe it's already time for Southern Boy to start "big boy" school! From this point on, life is going to fly by in a series of blinks until he is walking across that stage at graduation! WAAAAAHHHHH! I'm not ready for all this growing up business!
• and speaking of growing up...Southern Girl has been WALKING for a wee bit over a month now! She is doing great, and it's pretty cool to have a knee-high person walking around the house, haha.

I guess this sums up what's been going on in my life over the past few weeks. I guess this bulleted list is beter than the other one I wanted to write about: "things I am currently coveting", which includes an adorable pair of red sandals for Southern Girl and a new cell phone for ME, and a wardrobe (just to name a few). Too bad I can't afford all the stuff I covet (baby coming! Diaper cost will DOUBLE! Commence freaking out!)
