Finally!!

As predicted, we spent the whole 3 day weekend painting but we are finally finished! Thank God! Now that the painting is done and all the furniture is back in its place, I am looking forward to getting things organized and decorated before Hanley arrives.  After tossing around a couple idea's for the nursery, we finally made some decisions and ordered a few things online. Slowly but surely, the nursery is coming together.

Our own bedroom has made progress too! Our bare bedroom walls are finally getting some attention!

Poor Roxy has been bored out of her mind.  We have been so busy that she hasn't gotten out much. She got in a quick walk during the week and a trip to the park on Friday and then again on Labor Day but thats been it.  She is awfully good at laying on the pouty face thick too!

I have had a couple bad dreams recently that have completely affected my sleep. The reoccurring theme is that I feel the need to protect. I think it must be related to some kind of pregnancy hormones that are kicking in.  In just 8 weeks, Hanley is going to be removed from the protective little bubble I have been keeping him in. He will be released into this scary world and completely rely on Cody and I for his every need and protection. The whole thing is exciting but scary at the same time.  I can't even begin to imagine the kind of love and connection we are going to have for him.

After our long weekend it was almost nice to go back to work today. Normally things at the office are hectic after a holiday weekend but to my surprise we had a nice and quiet day....just what I needed!
