Transitions

C is awesome. We converted her crib to a toddler bed the other day - maybe 3/4 days ago. It has gone so smoothly, we are so blessed! I anticipated it to be challenging - where she wouldn't stay in bed or fall out or wander out if her room. With the exception of the first night, she has gone down easy for bed time and naps and generally stayed in bed. She has been getting up earlier, but she's also learning to play quietly until it's "wake up time". Sometimes she meets us at the door, sometimes she's still in bed - but so far we haven't hit any major bumps in  this transition and I am SO proud of her!
Right now she is fighting her nap, and since our video monitor broke I can only listen to her. She may or may not be in bed - but she is talking/playing quietly- probably "reading" her books she keeps hiding behind the glider.

The new baby's room (aka the craft room) is almost ready for baby things to be moved in to it! Exciting. I have no theme ideas for either gender. So that's awesome. Haha. I am paying dearly for clearing out most of the room last night though. Everything hurts, I was dehydrated this morning but I've got the handled now, I'm hungry and have no appetite so therefore, I'm also nauseous and want to go back to bed. Hopefully C will actually take a nap so I can utilize that time and sleep too! We shall see ☺

I suppose it's time for a post. Why? No idea- other than I'm exhausted, most definitely have the sleepy sillies and just laughed so hard at myself I couldn't breathe or make a sound and I was crying.  Brace yourself - this may get weird. Or random. Or be completely boring. Hey, you never know what I might decide is vitally important news.

Had a drs appt today where they checked on me and baby. Everything is good - baby is good - I may have some unfortunate symptoms going on, but baby is good so that's all that matters. I'm just supposed to stay off my feet as much as possible now, lims are starting to go numb if I sit or lay in certain positions now - so that's fun.  Fears still weigh heavy on my heart at times - though they're sporadic. I find myself reminding myself daily that we have this precious child for however long God blesses us with this child. Whether just in the womb or for a few days or for forever - the timing of this baby's life is purposeful and precious and I will cherish every second of it. Today I am pregnant. Today we still have this baby. And for that I am thankful.

Now if I could figure out how to stay on top of the laundry and keep C out of the cabinets while we are redoing them - that would be nice ;) lol. But again, she's our miracle baby too and I am thankful for all the hard things that come with all the wonderful things.

Speaking of - we will be converting C's crib into a toddler bed soon while we wait to paint the toddler bed that is hanging out with the kitchen cabinets in our garage. This is happening a little earlier than I planned, but my body is no longer tolerating getting her out of or into her crib very well.  So this will be fun.

I accidentally ordered a wrong replacement part for our stroller. Whoops. Hopefully we can get that sorted out soon.

I really have nothing else to say. I'm thankful for my hubby that is also my hairstylist so he knows that he should say no when I demand - I mean, suggest - we shave my head.  I also asked my Father-in-Law the bottle up Alaskan air and bring it to me because it's cold. Clearly I'm kind of screwed for this summer. But, you know, God is a miracle worker. He can totally give us a cool summer this year. I don't think He will, but He is totally capabale of making that happen.

I'll just leave this here: how bad would people freak out if I did my makeup to look like Michael Jackson and dressed like him? It could be entertaining.
