So, how much longer?

That's the most asked question of me these days. You would think I would be able to answer said question fairly easily. Afterall, they do give you a due date at the beginning of your pregnancy of which you schedule your life around for the following 9 months. Well, baby boy has other plans. So what's the real answer to said question??? I wish I knew folks, truly I wish I knew. I'll have another ultrasound at the end of the month that will hopefully give me a hard and fast answer to that question. Till then, I don't know. What do I know that the docs have told me? "He's definitely coming before your due date, but how much before is a question we just can't answer right now." My response...gee, that's helpful! Oh well, just another lesson from God about Him being in control of my life and that things don't happen just because I make a plan. I wish I would get this lesson through my thick head so he can stop driving it home. Maybe one of these days.

On a good note, we made some progress on the nursery today. A few odds and ends for me to find homes for tomorrow and we'll just wait on the movers to come transport our items to their new home (a storage unit) and we (aka hubby) will be ready to paint next weekend. It feels good to make some progress on his room. I remember at this stage of my pregnancy with Daughter, I was sitting in her totally completed room, doing my quiet times and reading books, anticipating her arrival. I know it will all be ready before he arrives, I think I am just starting to feel the pressure a little bit. I mean, my son will be here in no more than 7 weeks. On paper, I know that sounds like a lot of time, but when I run through my ever growing to do list in my mind, I wonder how I will get it all done. It's my own fault. I haven't made it a priority. I've let other things get in the way. But I know I'll get it all done. I always do. I just have to have my meltdown first. So now that it's out of the way, I'm off and running. And you have my word that in 2 weeks, pictures will be posted of the nursery. Painted. With Furntiure. And bedding. Probably won't have the window treatments done or his art hung on the walls, but at least it's progress.
