Breathe

No, I'm not in labor, yet. But I can finally take a moment to breathe after a crazy week! Joel's mom was here visiting before Easter so we spent some time with her and then Joel's grandfather passed away so we had more family in town for that. Then we had the wake and funeral in Rhode Island and then we had Oliver's birthday party on Sunday. Needless to say, we are exhausted! My house is a disaster - so not ready for a new baby. But, for my faithful blog readers, I take time out of my nap time/cleaning time to update for you. This is more fun than cleaning anyway.
Oliver's party was fun, a little crazy, but still fun. He held it together really well. No melt downs or anything. And, the choo-choo train cake that I have been thinking about for months and that took me three days to finish came out great! I was so proud of myself. Oliver throughly enjoyed it, too. Blue frosting EVERYWHERE! I think that for Morgan's cake next year we will make an angel cake with whipped cream frosting. Much less messy! Actually, to be honest, I am already thinking about what kind of cake to make for her.
So, my next step is getting this house ready for little Morgan. Joel has promised me (again) that he will put together our IKEA dresser tonight, and if he doesn't then I have permission to call in back up. So that WILL be done this week. Then I can put all the clothes away and get the room rearranged. Then we can focus on our bedroom and making a space for the cradle. I also need to get my bag all packed. It is started, but not everything is in there. I'm definitely not bringing as much as I did last time. I can't believe this is really happening...
