Weekend Are Never Long Enough!

So it is Monday again, Boo!!!! I swear time on a weekend is really non-existent to me most of the time. Sometimes I will get lucky and feel like I actually rested and accomplished things and then others it is completely diff. I know I got things accomplished this weekend but the rested part is another thing. I am so looking forward to my 4 day weeks beginning in January!

Friday we had our normal dinner date with Ethan and Katie where they filled us in on their wedding planning and their date which was a mistake bc they wanted to keep it quiet for a while so i wont share it here but we have always known it will be next spring I am so excited for them! Then we headed home bc we were both so tired.....once 9 roles around I am out for the count anymore if there is no nap preceding my nightly functions. I went to bed soon after we made it home and so did Tim but he has been snoring so bad lately I have had to nudge him so much etc that he did not sleep well. The same thing happened Saturday and last night. Tonight I will just leave him alone and head to the guest room, I just really love my bed though but he needs to get sleep too so its a compromise I guess.

Saturday I headed over to g-mas since i have not been in a quite a while. I hadn't made up my mind if I was going to just go home after i left there or head over to BRU to do some returns and pick up a few things that I still needed off my registry. I really want to get this stuff done and soon. Since I still have 2 bags of clothes to go through that Christina sent me home with I feel like that nursery is becoming so overloaded. So after i left her house I called Tim and he was still out and about too so I just went ahead and headed over there and told him I would meet him at the house in a little while. I picked up the changing pad for the dresser, changing covers, waterproof pads for changing, receiving blankets, and a marshmallow blanket I could not go without, a couple of outfits....most of this stuff was buy one get one 50% off so I saved quite a bit with my returns and my gift card. This time I was able to get a few coupons and after going though all the clothes that Christina and Jordan have given me I can prob take back those 2 outfits i bought. One of them I bought bc I wanted the baby to wear it in his pics at the hospital but Tim nixed that bc he didn't like it. So back to the store they go since I still need a hamper, mattress pads, and a few other small things that i can use my coupons on along with the return amount.....I swear I am going to be a regular there. Although I plan to check out Wal-Mart today to get a feel of their prices.

We ate dinner at home before heading over to Bowman Gray to watch the races that we both enjoy on Saturday nights. All in an effort to save a little green, we are trying to only have 1 meal out on the weekend. Which brings me to my other topic of figuring out my paycheck once all this stuff happens at the end of the year. So in January the baby (I so badly want to type his name!!!) Tim, myself will all be under the same medical policy since Tims policy is so worthless. Daycare will also be added to my weekly paycheck deductions, along with my working 16 less hours a pay period making my take home salary cut in half....no joke! I figured it all up one day last week including the taxes etc and I will be bringing home peanuts in 2009. But then I also view it as my family has awesome medical coverage, I have daycare so I can still work and pursue my career that is very important to me, and I will have 4 extra days a month with my son. I couldn't ask for a better life. I know I wont be contributing a ton to the bills but to know my family is covered medically and we are all happy makes me even happier than if I was to bring home 3K a month. I am sure once it all begins I wont trade this extra opportunity for anything in the world.

Sunday was a busy one.....I got up earlier than I wanted to I could have slept till noon but I wanted to work in the nursery most of the day and begin organizing. So I got up and about made pancakes for our breakfast and sat down for a few minutes and Jordan called. She still had not give me my shower gift bc it was still on order during that time so she wanted to come over and bring it too me as well as a box of clothes that Ryan has outgrown....I love all these hand me downs! She made it over about lunch time so I fed her some lunch and she was able to get away with just having Ryan with her so she wanted to help me go through the clothes in the nursery and do a few loads of his laundry. She also helped me put in the car seat and showed me how to do it. I figured she had done it 3 times so far that she was a pro, but I feel kind of silly this morning, I left it in there so Tim could see it when he got home but never took the seat out. So I am driving around with about 8 weeks to go with a full car seat installed!!!! L for Loser :)

We got a ton accomplished she helped me go through the bags of clothes and organize them, as well as get the washed stuff put away. I have a few loads left to fold so I should be able to have all the hand me down clothes put away. Then i want to go through the closet and see what new stuff that I have that I really want to keep or try and return....this little one really has too many clothes. There wont be enough days in the week.... :)

So after she left Tim and I started making homemade french onion soup, and shrimp kabobs for dinner. The soup took quite a while but it was sooooo good I am so glad we have some left. It was really easy too. I cant wait to have another bowl tonight for dinner since we had so many left overs. This week is a busy one, Tim has an eye appt today, we have our last US tomorrow which I hope I have pics to post, and then Thursday we have prenatal classes again. Which really were not as scary as I thought they would be. There were actually normal couples there with us and not a bunch of teenagers like I expected. Sounds weird to some but not to me in this day and age I guess. Looks like we should both learn a lot from the classes time will tell.

Well as I started off this post it is Monday and late in the morning now.....can someone say procrastination.......I have so much to do! I have begun counting down the weeks though till I am out with the baby....I am so looking forward to my time off from work. I know my work at home with him will be 10 times harder but I am just ready for it. I am so looking forward to the special time we will have together those first few weeks. They will be very special. As time goes on I get more ready and mentally prepared..don't get me wrong I am still scared to death but I am ready to hold my son, and share this miracle with my husband.

My birthday is this weekend....27 and I am beginning to feel it. I don't want anything special just time with Tim and maybe a nice meal out. Nothing fancy. I will let you know how it goes.
