The Summer of ina

The past 6 months have come with their fair share of ups and downs. Sometimes it’s harder than it should be to get exactly what you want, but you should always remember that, in the end, you might just get what you need.

So, with that mantra in mind, I am officially letting go. I declare this THE SUMMER OF GEORGE! (well, the summer of ina, but the original is far catchier). This summer I am going to enjoy the little preparations that I have not had the mental stamina to handle in months: setting up the baby’s room, buying baby car seats, strollers, mini clothes, etc. I also wanted to go to the beach at some point and get a cute picture of me and my oversized belly 🙂 Wouldn’t that be cute?? This summer will be MY summer.

So what to do… what to do… well, first I’ll finish setting up the house. We are having our new bedroom set and mattress delivered this week, which I hope will eliminate the need for getting up at 2am with a back ache and having to finish my sleep on the couch because my husband is taking up 75% of our very uncomfortable full size bed, and then staying awake for 1.5hrs until the relaxation muses have done their thing. Sigh. Man, that was not a good way to start out the week this morning.

Once the new bedroom set is in place (Hallelujah), we’ll set up the guest bed elsewhere to leave room for setting up the nursery. We’ll finally get to put together the crib I got at a garage sale (I’m nervous we might not have all the screws for it!!). Also, Brian’s family already volunteered to paint babycove’s room 🙂 I’ll definitely take them up on that! So maybe I should go to Home Depot and pick a color! 🙂

Anyways, it’s time to start enjoying this pregnancy the way Babies R Us intended. Viva the capitalism! 😉
