And 4 days. \u00a0I have a hard time taking pictures and writing a post in the same day, and this week there was a big gap between the two because I went to visit family and did absolutely no blog writing for 3 days. \u00a0It was kind of nice not to have my laptop while I was away. \u00a0I could have read my Google Reader on the iPad, but I didn’t. \u00a0I just hung out with some of my favorite people. \u00a0It was great to take a break from the computer that I spend too much time with during a normal week. \u00a0The bad part is that now I have 450 items in my Reader, so I am scared to open it…<\/p>\n

I’m feeling good\u2014exceptionally better than last week when Carson and I suffered through what Ben had the week before. \u00a0Whatever is going around is completely and utterly miserable. \u00a0One of the downsides to pregnancy is not being able to take the medications you would normally. \u00a0I was getting probably 4 hours of sleep a night since my cough kept waking me every hour or so. \u00a0Carson fared better in the sleep department, but was still not his happy self. \u00a0We are both almost back to normal, which is a very good thing. \u00a0Today I feel pretty close to clear-headed. \u00a0I’ve been having trouble thinking, remembering things and forming complete sentences. \u00a0I think I have been a hard person to live with. \u00a0Ben will be happy to know that I remembered to get AA batteries and trail mix at the store today! \u00a0I am so very glad to be better.<\/p>\n

Baby girl will be here in a little less than 4 months now, and that makes me both very excited and also anxious. \u00a0We are still in our rent house without much happening with our house in Amarillo. \u00a0I’ve been imagining the perfect scenario in which we sell our house in Amarillo with no hassle or delay, find the perfect house to buy here with a quick closing and move in with plenty of time to spare to prepare for baby girl. \u00a0However, I’m starting to think more seriously about how I’m going to fit 2 kids in our current house. \u00a0As it is our garage is full of stuff from the other house and we don’t have a whole lot of extra space to work with inside. \u00a0Not that God isn’t powerful enough to create my dream scenario this late in the game\u2014He is powerful enough to do anything. \u00a0I’m just preparing for the scenario in which God says, “Your plan just isn’t what’s best. \u00a0I have other perfect plans that will be much better than what you’ve conjured up.” \u00a0I still pray for the house to sell. \u00a0It will be a huge weight lifted for our family.<\/p>\n

So I’ve been spending a lot of time looking at small space living and thinking more and more about sending another load of our\u00a0unnecessary\u00a0stuff to Goodwill. \u00a0Maybe it’s time to give away those skinny jeans that aren’t ever going to fit over my thighs again! \u00a0 We’ll have to change the office\/guest room into a nursery and decide what stays and what goes in there. The thought of that makes me a little queasy. \u00a0Getting started on a big project is always hard for me. \u00a0Everything looks (and is) worse for a while before it gets better, so I procrastinate on the getting started part. \u00a0I think there is a part of me that hopes it will magically fix itself…that happens, right?<\/p>\n
