My body is exhausted, it aches, and I’m tired…but happy to report that the basement is getting closer to completion. It’s a good thing, because my body is telling me, “Please stop treating me like this, I need more rest, you realize you’re going to have a baby soon and to make it easier on the both of us it would be a good idea if you just relaxed a little bit!” What about put me over the edge was installing the baseboards in the basement at midnight the night before the carpet was arriving. I woke up the next morning more sore than I can remember being in a long time. I had basically completed multiple reps of squats in the process of hanging the baseboards and my legs could feel it. Luckily we had some great friends who were willing to help us move the furniture down stairs and it’s starting to feel like home downstairs, I love it. Of course there’s always more work to be done, but like I said before, my body is saying, “Let’s wait, let’s wait until after this baby comes, and then we can tackle another strenuous project.” I’m giving in. For what Steve might think is the first time, I’m saying I’ll wait. I’ll take a break for a while and pick this up a little bit later. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still running a hundred miles an hour doing everything else, but I’m going to leave the heavy labor enduring projects for another time, another time meaning 2 weeks down the road!!
First off, what were you doing posting this at 5:56 AM? That is when you need to be sleeping. Can't wait to see those pictures of your "masterpiece" downstairs.
Yes I would love to see pictures of the basement as well. Can't wait till that little boy comes, and yes you do need to take care of yourself. Love you.
Kara, reading this post makes me tired, and I am not even pregnant! How do you do it? I think you should totally take it easy and just enjoy these last couple of weeks of only having one child. Rent a couple of movies, grab some bon-bons, put your feet up and do nothing! You deserve a break.
Hey sister… I just thought I'd tell ya good luck.. because if he's anything like Hallie was that first year or so.. You're gonna need it!! haha.. 🙂 and take lots of pictures.. (who am I kidding.. when don't you?) 🙂
love you!
Pictures! Pictures! Sure love you guys and am anxious for you as you approach that due date! Good Luck
Good for you kara! Your body and baby boy need you to rest for a bit and get geared up for the next few months. I cannot wait to see what he will look like! I am sure he will just be the cutest boy!! He's got pretty darn good genes.
Okay…I want to see a picture of the basement! I have been thinking of you, and yes, I still need your address. Did you get my message I left on your phone? I know that I saved your Christmas card with your address on it and now that I need it, it is no where to be found. Maybe you could just shoot me a quick two second email with your address on it so I can mail this gift that I have had for two months now! :)You know me and being punctual on everything… hee hee. Anywho, I can't wait to see your little baby!!! I am so excited for you!
