Lately

I desperately want to update this blog regularly... I just don't always have the time to sit and write out the thoughts that are bobbing around in this head of mine. So, I guess all my readers (all TWO of them, probably) will just wait to be gracious with me and my random posting habits.

What's going on with me?

Well, I am twenty-six weeks pregnant and I already feel like a big whale. A happy whale, though, so that's something to celebrate. I have been trying to do some at home projects to prepare for the addition to our family. I just have a hunch that my life is going to be quite a bit more busy once Caldwell baby #2 arrives.

So far, I have:

•  purchased a new, but smaller crib for Caleb's room. Womb Dweller #2 and Caleb will be sharing a room. The room is nice, but small, so I had to sell Caleb's big, luxurious crib and changing table for something nice, but smaller. I like the crib a LOT. It's from IKEA, but I bought it used from Craig's List for $75.
• As mentioned above, I sold Caleb's crib and changing table on Craig's List for $200. This was a big accomplishment for me because I don't like to buy things unless I sell something that I am no longer using. I guess it's kind of a personal stewardship code that I like to abide by... Plus it keeps my house less cluttered.
• I painted all six pieces of our ANTIQUE/old/ew bedroom furniture. It was a yellow-cream color and now it is a beautiful coffee bean shade. =) Pictures soon!
• I have also begun to decorate the house. I am addicted (yes, it's bad) to Hobby Lobby. I probably visit twice a week. Can you believe it? I just can't get enough of the 50-60% off sale that is ALWAYS going on there. Seriously. Love that place!

Caleb update:

Caleb is on the verge of walking. Brian and I are certain that he gets up at night and makes laps around the house, but then when the daylight breaks, he pretends that he doesn't know what we're talking about when we ask him to walk to us. He is walking behind several of his little push-behind toys. I am really not in that big of a hurry for him to walk. I guess I figure that he will walk when he wants to. I have enough mommy-friends who have told me that my life will change BIG time when he starts walking. Brian on the other hand would like for me to begin summer workouts with Caleb to get him walking right now. I am postponing those workouts for the day when/if he is four years old and still not walking.


Alright, well I am off to do some Monday morning laundry.
I will post pictures sometime this week of all of our recent adventures. =) I know you're waiting by the screen...
