Someday I'll be a real girl
Apr. 9th, 2012 08:53 pmI feel sort of like a loser for how I've completely abandoned the internet, gaming, and most other things that have, in the past, been my biggest sources of pleasure. I swear I'm going to get back into things. Right now we're busy packing up at the apartment, lugging things down to the house, then unpacking down there.
We painted our master bedroom! It was a huge pain in the ass because we started out using the wrong type of roller, so we had to do three coats in some places instead of just two, ugh. Also, I think we got the wrong grade of sandpaper, and had to exert way more effort than necessary. I had a really, really bad night that night. My sciatica has been crazy anyway, and then I have my arms over my head, pushing really hard while sweeping up and down the walls? Yeah, genius. Woke up about 1 am and threw up from pain, couldn't move without crying out. Muse made me a bed of pillows on the couch, because I couldn't lie flat, and just throbbed with pain all down my left side and back/hip/leg. But we got it done in time before they delivered our new KING! bed frame and mattress, and I adore the colour, you guys.
( BEDROOM! )
Now we just need to get the rest of the shit moved in, so I can focus on decorating the nursery (and eventually the bathroom, kitchen, dining nook, and loft, what?) With the money we saved on the down payment for the house, I was able to get us said new bedroom set, some awesome patio furniture, a dual charcoal/gas grill, a leather rocker/recliner, a glider and crib for bb's room, and we're going on a babymoon to Charleston at the end of the month. BEACH! I can't wait!
Meanwhile, yesterday I got to spend some time with two of my favourite people:
Poor miss Xavi woke up nuzzling me like she was gonna get milk from that bosom. Not for a few more months, kid. She slept for a solid hour and half before we had to dress her to leave for dinner, and at least half the time Escher was kicking right where she rested as if to say "HAYYY, that's MY mom!"
Yeah, well, kid could make his presence better known. 26 weeks, and ( here I am: )
And as soon as I typed that, he started kicking, lol.
BTW, I resized these pictures, and I don't know if it's something to do with needing to clear out cookies or something, but they're still showing up HUGE for me. If it's the same, let me know so I can fix them and they don't blow up your screens.
