Baby sister is coming soon!

Only 3 ½ days left until our new little one arrives. I can hardly believe that it is already here, but yet like most pregnant women… SO READY! Charlotte seems genuinely excited and I cannot wait for her to meet her baby sister! It is fun that she has been so interested and excited. She talks about her baby sister a lot- and just refers to “sisters” in general a lot right now. She was playing with two toy animals last week and I asked if they were friends. Her response was, “Yeah! They are sisters!” She also tells everyone... "Baby sister is coming soon!" Love it! I have a feeling the weekend ahead of us will feel long. I was notified yesterday, after having a planned c-section date for August 3rd for over 5 months now- that they want to move the date of the delivery. Talk about some major anxiety for me. Yes, I realize that most babies come on their own time-table, but when you have been planning for months around a specific day, it is a bit upsetting 4 days out to hear otherwise. Our choice came down to bump the c-section out or be surprised by the doctor who walks into the room. The biggest dilemma was that both Matt and Juju (my mom) have already taken time off work around Tuesday, August 3rd. Really bummed about this situation, but I have to trust that things will work out ok, and it is all for a good reason!

Project Day

So here is a new hole in what used to be our dining room. We re-arranged, made this our living room, and decided to add an exterior day to access our side yard. This is the side of the house we hang out in. Charlotte can spend hours playing in our little yard. SO, although Matt and I have learned a lot about construction projects... we were smart enough to hire out for this project. Cutting a hole in the side of a 107 year old house... yeah... for the professionals! So, Matt went to work that day and I was here for the contruction team. Turns out Matt also ordered rock to be delivered that day (for more yard projects), and by accident Tacoma Power stopped by. At first I thought we were in trouble- but it turned out they were at the wrong place. In the mean time... thinking Charlotte was being a good girl playing in her room... I found out that she found some shimmery liquid eyeshadow... How many times does she need to cover herself in makeup before I hide it ALL!
