Cribs, Pregnancy, and lots and lots of hormones...

Well, Jakob's crib and changing table are all set up. I am at this moment washing the sheets to put on the crib. (Once they are done I will give you all a little preview of the nursery) We attempted to put a baby dresser together, but it was not well made, and ended up taking it back and ordering a different one. The new dresser should arrive on Saturday. Everything's kinda on hold till I get the dresser. (I need to start washing baby clothes, and arrange the room, but it kinda can't happen till the dresser comes in) People have been very generous in giving me clothes for Jakob. I have the whole bottom of his closet filled with clothes size newborn to 2 years. (and I haven't had a shower yet!!!) Once I get the time I'm gonna put all the 6month and up clothing in a big container and store it away. -Pregnancy is going pretty well.- I have all the usual aches and pains. I have a really stuffy nose which is what bothers me most, I think. (I'm not really looking for sympathy, unless you totally just want to give it) :( j/k! I have this little bottle of "melaluca" oil on my nightstand, I think it's basically tea tree oil, just branded for "melaluca" but when I wake up at night and can't breathe I rub that all over the bottom of my nose and it opens up my sinuses so I can sleep. Bet you're all glad I shared that huh? Work is getting more...what's the word I'm looking for? I'm just basically getting fed up with work. It's not even that I can't wait to quit, for the most part I'll miss the whole atmosphere, it's just that the new kids are alot to handle, and on top of that I feel like I'm not getting the support I should be from my boss, and it's all a little much at this point. I think everyone just blames my attitude on hormones, but it's kinda ridiculous some of the goings on lately. Maybe pregnancy has just made me speak my mind more, or maybe it's because I leave soon anyways, so I'm more open about what I think. People keep telling me "you should just quit" and that'd stop alot of my tiredness, and stress, but my situation is that I'm paying for a baby here. I wanted this child so bad, and I don't want to quit working and leave Jeremy with a huge bill that he has to stress about, while I sit around and enjoy my son. The situation is different, and strange I know, but it's my reality (our insurance paid for a full 6 IUI's-artificial insemination- but no IVF coverage.) I really don't think I'll look back on my pregnancy years from now and be bitter (as some people tell me I might) that I didn't sit at home and "take it easy", I knew what having this baby would entail, and I'm totally game for it, it's just stressful right now. My quit date is July 30th, and I can't tell you at this point that I'm not counting down the days. I've actually got a reminder on my phone for how many more work days I have left. :) I just feel like even with a month before my due date to work around the house I won't be able to get things done. We'll see. The funny part is as long as Jakob is fed, and changed he won't care. I just want things to be nice and calm for him. My weekend starts tomorrow, and with this 104 degree weather we're having there's nowhere I want to be besides the water. Tomorrow I think we're going to the bayou to swim. I'm a little nervous about the beach because it's soooo hot, and I don't know if the waves will be too strong and then I'll be burning up on the sand. One day I'll make it out there. Last year every time Jillian and I went to the beach it rained on us. This year I don't think we'll be upset about the rain. So I've basically written a short story here today, but I don't blog as much as I used to so I guess it's all just built up and spilled over today. Hope y'all all have a great weekend, and I'll put up a picture of Jake's crib once it's all done. Love ya, -Me
